1. you can edit product_info.php to to use different width and height.

 

2. There are several contributions for productlisting available in the contributions section

 

 

 

There is a includes/functions/html_output.php included in the pack marked with no-cssbuttons rename to html_output.php and upload and use that one.

Thanx for all the help by the way! :thumbsup:

Thanx :)

 

 

you have graphical buttons now, but for some reason there seems to be a problem with the image path

 

for instance

 

http://codered.se/idar3/includes/languages...ton_reviews.gif

 

it does not exsist or there are some access problems on your hosting/server.

Ok, if i put an image in http://codered.se/idar3/images or http://codered.se/idar3/ it shows.

But it doesnt show if i put dem in http://codered.se/idar3/includes or any deeper catalog.

What is wrong here?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the contribution! I have made a small amendment as I found a problem - could you see if it's ok.

 

I'm using the on-the-fly thumbnailer html_output and I deleted the css button code as I didn't want that. anyway it all worked except I found that if the image size you specified in admin was bigger than the original image it didn't scale the image up and so didn't keep the aspect ratio the same, BUT the normal functions of the shop did size the image so you could end up with a very distorted image (I know in reality your image is going to be bigger than the thumbnails but I found this out after playing around resizing the default stock images)

 

So I then tried to change the code so that it resized the image always - even if it had to scale up slightly (again unrealistic but could happen)

 

So in html_output I changed this:

 

// Scale the image if larger than the set width or height

if ($image_size[0] > $width || $image_size[1] > $height) {

$rx = $image_size[0] / $width;

$ry = $image_size[1] / $height;

 

if ($rx < $ry) {

$width = intval($height / $ratio);

} else {

$height = intval($width * $ratio);

}

 

$image = '<img src="product_thumb.php?img='.$src.'&w='.tep_output_string($width).'&h='.tep_output_string($height).'"';

}

 

} elseif (IMAGE_REQUIRED == 'false') {

return '';

}

}

 

to this:

 

// Scale the image if larger than the set width or height

$rx = $image_size[0] / $width;

$ry = $image_size[1] / $height;

 

if ($rx < $ry) {

$width = intval($height / $ratio);

} else {

$height = intval($width * $ratio);

}

 

$image = '<img src="product_thumb.php?img='.$src.'&w='.tep_output_string($width).'&h='.tep_output_string($height).'"';

}

 

} elseif (IMAGE_REQUIRED == 'false') {

return '';

}

 

and also deleted this from product_thumb.php:

 

// Do not output if get values are larger than orig image

if ($_GET['w'] > $image[0] || $_GET['h'] > $image[1])

return;

 

Is this an OK way of doing it - it seems to work! It's really just to make sure the ratio's stay the same on the off chance that you're trying to scale an image up. If there is a better way of doing it please let me know!

 

Thanks

P.S i also was wondering what size to save my images as (thats the size they show up in when you've clicked to enlarge isn't it) Is there any difference in loading time for the product_listing / product_info page if the original image is 30kb or 60kb? Because the resized version in going to be ~3kb and this is all the customer has to download?Right? or does it still take longer for a larger file size because it takes longer to resize it?

These kind of questions are better put in the support tread for, On the fly thumbnails generator

OK - I think the function was meant to be in there fo rthis reason:

 

A check to see if the thumbnail dimensions being passed to the thumbnailer are greater that the size of the original image. In which case, the image will not be output. (A security feature to mitigate DOS (Denial of Service) attacks with users calling the thumbnailer directly with very large width/height values.)

 

Still needs a solution though...I'll try and find one!

The support in this thread is amazing :thumbsup:

Therefore i need to ask one more question:

 

I have a white 1px border around my productimages. This usually works flawless. However,

on page: http://codered.se/idar3/index.php?cPath=21_23

 

that border appears around one button. If you cant see it, use the swedish flag.

How can i fix that? I dont have that problem with any oher button (i think)

You have set the stylesheet class to add borders to all images under that class, so that is just what is happening.

 

click on basics for design in my signature below and reading through that tread you will also find a way to add borders to images and not buttons.

Hi, I have installed the BDP and I'm testing locally using XAMPP server, ever since when I load the store, click on any link in the store I get loads of msdos box's come up running c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe the store works fine but this happens for every operation within the store.

 

I have searched the forums and this thread and can't seem to find any info on this.

 

Can anyone shed any light on this for me.

I just installed oscommerce on a test site I play with (Fantasico install) I download this and literally dropped it over my current files as instructed. However the end result is a total mess with loads of what I can only presume is loads of php code on the screen. Anyone care to let me know how I have done it so wrong??

 

My site

sorted it

One more... I tried to install

'On the Fly' Auto Thumbnailer using GD Library

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2226

 

And it hit me that BDP already have something like this installed. Is it the same?

 

standard BDP have Automatic Thumbnails installed.

 

But for those where automatic thumbnails do not work, 'On the Fly' Auto Thumbnailer using GD Library is also included as an alternative...

 

For info on how to use, check the readme file from BDP.

Hi!

 

I am using the latest BDP, and the blue arrows included under categories.

1) The spacing in between categories are much apart. Where do I have to change so that it will not have so much space from each other, like the original Oscommerce? I still want to keep the blue arrows.

3) I want the item numbers be shown under categories, how do I do this?

2) Now I want the sub categories shown together with the categories from the start of the page, how do I do it?

 

 

Thanks. :)
