Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I'm using this mod and hoping to move to 4.1.STABLE, so this is a problem. I'd have to redo a bunch of product images if I had to upgrade with out it.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Actually the Xcart team got it working correctly today. So if you dont mind spending $150 it will save you some time.

Is this the Telafirma mod? |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Well, I've had to uninstall the Telafirma mod, AND pay Qualiteam to help uninstall some of the parts I didn't know how to do, and I haven't heard anything from Telafirma for over four weeks, so I doubt I'll ever get a refund.
It's such a shame that they didn't just sell this mod. through one of the other X-Cart modding companies, and then we'd all have a great mod. and some proper support. As it stands, I can't afford to risk installing this again even if they did get in contact. I'd already done the thumbnails for all of my products anyway, so it's no loss to me not having this particular mod. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Yes it was the Telafirma Mod upgraded to work on 4.1.6 by qualiteam.

Not sure how they did it but it works. Still finding a few problems where the script should be showing thumbs it is showing the full size images though. Did get a reply from Telafirma asking me a question. I responded back and haven't heard a thing in 2 weeks now though. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I tried ordering this mod back on 5/1 but never received a response from TelaFirma. I paid by PayPal but Telafirma never claimed it. Guess I'll ask for a refund.

This is a sensational mod and was purchased for one of the websites I did. However I'd really like to get this going on another website running 4.1.7 and am unable to purchase off the telafirma site. If there are any other modes just like this one (that reduces the need for heaps of photoshopping) then I'd really appreciate some feedback. Philj recommended this thread but I'm not sure it's anywhere near as good as the telafirma mod? http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.p...highlight=hard |

X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator (4.1.x)
X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator (4.1.x)
OK, just got the 4.1.x version of TelaFirmas' dynamic image mod. All installed and ready to go with my 4.1.8 install. It's pretty sophisticated and certainly worth it's weight. The overall functions are impressive and there is a lot of control over image size and location (product pages, cart, detailed, etc.). I've already reloaded all of a sites images with the import area by simply using the same link to my image depot (calling larger versions of images) and the mod, completely resized and scalled all of the assigned areas as instructed by me in the admin. Too Easy! You can even set image quality so I tried the default 80 and then 100 on my second try and the ability to manipulate quality is excellent. I would certainly recommend any and all users of X-Cart who have Graphics Library 'gd' installed on their server to give this mod a go. Price-wise, it's a bargain and would certainly be worth much more (Check with TeleFirma for pricing and purchasing options). Great work Stephen - my only suggestion is that the Lightbox have a 'XClose' button. I haven't worked with detailed images yet as my current working site doesn't have anything other than thumbs and product images. I'll try the product options use shortly as well and add what additional insight I can. I'm sure this thread will be set in motion quickly. Regards, Mike |

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
No doubts great mod must have for any store, yes also the unique support from Stephen(THANKS) I am using the old version in my 4.0 worked great.Just bought the new version for my 4.1.8.
The only problem I am having is in product.tpl. when add product options (price Modifier) the price doesn't update and getting java error in page, and in cart when click on continue shopping button the thumbnail doesn't show but only error message Also asked Stephen but I thought if some one help me here as Stephen must be helping many other xcarters.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Lionel - I would suggest going to their web site and contacting Stephan again. I contacted him about a month ago and low and behold he responded quickly, efficiently and helped us get this new version for 4.1.x up and running. I found him to be very responsive.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I would ask X-Cart about this as they managed to implement Cerdmanns Thumb plugin, (http://www.cerdmann.com/thumb/ which this is based upon) to function the same as Telafirma's mod. Also, I think there was an issue as to whether Telafirma could encrypt someone elses plugin.

Mike, I am actually currently looking for another alternative to Lightbox. I added that in because of all the requests for it but there are some things that are not quite right with Lightbox. For one, the code is very bloated. Way more code than is necessary for what it does. Second, the Prototype scripts that the use for the AJAX popups has a conflict with the Wholesale Pricing scripts in X-Cart. When you have product variants and you add wholesale pricing (quantity pricing) to the variants, it is dynamically updated on the page using AJAX depending on what option or variant you choose in the dropdowns. The script that does this conflicts with the Prototype script and causes all kinds of mess on the page. I have been looking at a few alternatives but I am very open to anyone suggestion... |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Hi,
Does the mod resize images for the category pages as well? Is there any image in the cart itself that will not be resized? |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I have trouble trying to purchase the dynamic image generator from telefirma. When I click on paypal button to buy the mod, there is a message saying that this recipient is not accepting payment right now and stuff.
I really like this mod, but is there any other mod similar to this? Something that I could follow through the step by reading the forum or commercial mod that I can buy. Thank you, Pete |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Pete,
Placed an order with Telafirma in late August and paid by Paypal. Module was never installed, and I just received my refund on 09/28. Loved that mod - it resized our thumbnails beautifully. Had it on our site when we were running v.4.019, but I have been unable to upgrade it to run on v.4.18. Very anxious to find an alternative. Mark |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I wanted to leave a quick post to let everyone know that the issue that I was having with PayPal has been fixed.
Also, I have updated the mod to use a JQuery version of Lightbox so that it does not conflict with wholesale pricing. The other JavaScript libraries like Prototype and Moo all have conflicts with the arrays that are built by X-Cart when you are using Wholesale pricing. JQuery does not suffer from this, so I am using a modified version of Lightbox to use JQuery. Since the JQuery script is packed, the scripts are smaller and load quicker. Also, for those that were concerned about longer page load times, there was a small bug that in certain circumstances would cause the image to be generated again. This has also been fixed. This did not occur on all systems, but only a small percentage. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I paid for the mod and Telafirma accepted the payment but now it has been 2 weeks and still NO mod. If you are accepting payments you should at least send out the mods when you do. Where is my mod???????????

Please give me a little more information. There are no outstanding orders that I can see. If I am to track it down I at least need to know the website that it was to be licensed to. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I paid on Sept 12th and there was no email from telafirma on the 12th, 15th or any other period until just the other day after I sent you the PM. I double checked my gmail spam and it never arrived. So not sure how it just disappeared but I was waiting each day because I needed this mod bad.
I would also like to get this upgrade for my other store. I purchased the mod for 4.0 version of Xcart and then upgraded my store to 4.1 version, tried to contact telafirma for months with no reply so I was forced to pay $150 to have Qualiteam upgrade the mod for me. Now I would like to add the actual upgraded mod so that there wont be an issue when I update from 4.1.6 to 4.1.9 this week. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I really do not know what happened with the email I am just glad that I was able to get it to you this last time.
I have also responded to your email about the upgrade. |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I just wanted to let you know that the version for 4.0.x is back on our site for sale now. You can find it at:

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Hi Stephen,
Were you able to get this add-on mod to work on the Windows/IIS6 platform yet? Please give me a quick ballpark time estimate, let me know so that I can plan accordingly. Thank you -Tuan |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
I'd just like to say tanks to Stephen from TelaFirma for installing this mod for me on our site, thank you.
Paid for the mod and within 24 hours it was up and running with great cusomter support provided by Stephen. Check out the mod for version 4.0 on our site www.impact-computers.co.uk |
Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
TelaFirma I like what I am seeing with your image mod. It's specifically what I am looking for to correct slightly blurred/fuzzy thumbnail product images. I sell apparel and great photos make or break sales. The Xcart enlarged photo quality is better yet I also don't like the popup window layout. I also am now required to load three different sizes of the front view photo. So I definitely like the mod. My concern is
#1 the page load time #2 the installation issues that keep being repeated here by posters. I am not a techie. I sell apparel and that's what I do best. Can you address these issues for me please. Others anything new or different out there to compete with Telefirma's mod? |

The first time that you load a page it will take a little longer because all the images have to be generated the first time. This is a "one time thing". When the images are generated, they are stored in the cache folder and will be drawn from there instead and the page load time will be back to normal. Actually in a lot of cases the page load will be shorter because you are not trying to display a 200px wide image in a 100px wide box on the product listing page. The only time that the images would be generated again is if you change one (any) of the parameters. As for install issue - I am not quite sure what you are referring to. Most of this thread dates back to 2005. We have sold more copies of this mod through the years that I can count. The percentage of people that have had install issues are very very small - less than 1%. Most of these "issues" were just things that needed to be modified slightly in the templates because of how heavily modified their X-Cart install was. I have taken a look at your store an it is pretty standard so there should be no surprises. However, if you are uncomfortable making modifications to the templates, we do have installation that you can purchase at the same time that you purchase the mod. |
TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator
Hello there!
We purchased this mod and would be very happy with it if not for one little attribute: the mod also resizes small images to fit the bigger scale, set in the mod configuration. For example, you cannot get an image of a product that would be more than 180 px wide. The settings are: thumbnail 100 px, product image 200 px, detailed image 500 px. The mod stretches images to bigger sizes, resulting in image distortion. I would have asked about this before purchasing the module, but was informed by a satisfied customer in this very thread that the module in fact does not resize smaller-than-set images. I have posted a question about this directly to Tela Firma and am still waiting for a reply, but since I see more activity from Stephen on this forum, I decided I would try my luck here :) So, my direct question is: can the "resize smaller images" feature be disabled, so the module does not resize images smaller then the sizes set in the mod configuration? Example: you have an image that is 400 px wide, the module resizes it to 100 and 200 px but does not stretch it to 500 px, which is the detailed images width setting. Or you have an image that is 85 px in width and the module doesn't resize it at all? Thank you in advance for your response, Best regards, mE |
