Small Images - can I use percentages instead of pixels??

[samsamsam]

Hi again fellow osC'ers. I'd like to know if I can edit the small image width and height options to be actual percentages of the original image instead of the actual size in pixels.

 

Is this at all possible?

 

thanks

Sam,

 

Almost anything is possible.....whether it's advisable is another story. What are you trying to accomplish with the small images?

[samsamsam]

Thanks for your reply. I just want my small images to be proportional to the original, larger ones. The pixel height and width settings may not be proportional with every image. Do you know what I mean?

[Guest]

Ah! I understand completely. The easiest way to accomplish that is to simply "turn off" one of the settings in the admin. If you set the width to 100 and the height to 0, then all of your pictures will be 100px wide by the correct porportion high.

 

I personally like using the width so that the images don't push any of my boxes out of shape.

Thank you Kim! You're great. That solves it. :D

 

Seems like anything's possible with this script. I like it more and more every hour :wink:

Sam,

 

If you are willing to put in the time and the effort.....OSC can be anything you want it to be. Enjoy!

You're not kidding either Kim. Now.. what do I edit on the script to get it to clean and peel potatoes? :lol:

I tried setting the height or width to zero and the image was just 1 pixel high/wide (whichever I tried). If I got rid of the value all together, the image displayed at it's original height.

 

The way I'm doing images is reading the path in from a DB (v_products_image) variable. Is this why it's not working properly?

i personally make two set of images, 1 set small and 1 set large, and in the images folder i make a folder called enlarge and place my larger images in it. then i open up popup_image.php and change

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES

 

to

 

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_XS_IMAGES

 

and save that

 

then i open the includes/configure.php file and add

 

  define('DIR_XS_IMAGES', 'images/enlarge/'); // enlarged images folder

 

for this to work both sets of images must have the same name

 

 

myimage.jpg myimage.jpg

100x80 450x370

 

then i leave the image sizes in the admin setting blank. and let the images display as they are default . :roll:

 

basically with this you get "what ya see is what ya get effect"

 

 

if ya got a lot of images find a program to "batch" them for you
