TimThumb for OScommerce

[freakenstein]

In my opinion Timthumb is currently one of the better and easiest thumbnailscripts available. Often used in WordPress templates, but I decided to use it in OScommerce. With these easy steps you can actually do the same.

 

Let me know what you think and if this can be improved:

 

1. Create the thumbnailcache (/cache) in the OScommerce root and give this directory 777 rights.

 

2. Get timthumb.php from timthumb.googlecode.com.

 

3. In timthumb.php change:

 

if ($new_width == 0 && $new_height == 0) {
   $new_width = 100;
   $new_height = 100;
}

to

if ($new_width == 0 && $new_height == 0) {
   $new_width = $width;
   $new_height = $height;
}

 

4. Upload timthumb.php to your OScommerce root

 

3. Now we're gonna edit /includes/functions/html_output.php

 

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
   $image = '<img src="' . tep_output_string($src) . '" border="0" alt="' . tep_output_string($alt) . '"';

 

to

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
$image = '<img src="/k/catalog/timthumb.php?src=' . tep_output_string($src) . '&w=' . tep_output_string($width) . '&h=' . tep_output_string($height) . '&zc=0" border="0" alt="' . tep_output_string($alt) . '"';

 

That's it.

correction:

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
$image = '<img src="/k/catalog/timthumb.php?src=' . tep_output_string($src) . '&w=' . tep_output_string($width) . '&h=' . tep_output_string($height) . '&zc=0" border="0" alt="' . tep_output_string($alt) . '"';

 

should be

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
$image = '<img src="/catalog/timthumb.php?src=' . tep_output_string($src) . '&w=' . tep_output_string($width) . '&h=' . tep_output_string($height) . '&zc=0" border="0" alt="' . tep_output_string($alt) . '"';
