Did you take a look at phpThumb() http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/ ?

In my opinion is far better than Smart Image Resizer. With a lot of options in the URL like Unsharp Mask, Clip, Quality, etc.

Did anyone use it with X-Cart?

Could you please give me more idea about Thumb Generators in PHP (Image Resizers)? I am trying to find one better the phpThumb.

Thx for that, I will have to look into how/if you use it with xcart, since I'm not too slick in that area I don't expect much. But let me know if you figure it out, I'd be very interested to hear what you came up with.

Thx

It looks like its squishing it into a square thumb, anyone know how to have it size and crop to a square? I was looking at the file imager.php and it mentions some stuff about cropping, but I don't know how to implement it.

It has this:

// Resizing and cropping a JPEG into a square:
// <img src="/image.php/image-name.jpg?width=100&amp;height=100&amp;cropratio=1: 1&amp;image=/path/to/image.jpg" alt="Don't forget your alt text" />


Help?
thx

width=100&amp;height=100&amp;cropratio=1: 1

try to play witht he crop ration along with the width and height.

maybe width=100&amp;height=150&amp;cropratio=1: 1.5

just a guess tho.

Thanks Ashley,

The problem is I can't find that code in the php or the thumbnails.tpl, (its above the "code starts here" part) the guy from post #1 figured out how to integrate this php script into xcart. Waaaay beyond me right now. His code is in post #1, the php is attached if you want to look at it.

Thanks

Ok this code

// Resizing and cropping a JPEG into a square:
// <img src="/image.php/image-name.jpg?width=100&amp;height=100&amp;cropratio=1: 1&amp;image=/path/to/image.jpg" alt="Don't forget your alt text" />


Is a comment and has nothing to do with the actual implementation of the mod.

Just follow the instructions in the first post and you should be ok.

I know, I already have the mod working, but it sizes/squishes instead of sizing/cropping to a square image, I was just wondering if someone out there might want to implement the cropping aspect of this php script. I am too green at this point.

thx

{* $Id: product_thumbnail.tpl,v 1.19.2.1 2007/07/09 05:00:35 svowl Exp $ *}

[pfarcus]

This works! No more squished thumbnails! (for those of us who don't want to photoshop every dang ol' product.)

Alright Ashley!
