[design]

Hello! Just two questions:

1. Is it possible to avoid the images (in CP images DIV) take a name like this: 46f81f98e1f3d19c7db53a6e9b7cb282.jpg. I would prefer the real name.

2. Do you know when phpwcms will allow cropping images not only in the center zone? The cropping (1.3.5.) is fantastic, but I'm creating a site for a graphic designer and - unfortunatly - his characters are never in the center!! Ooooppsss!
Just a general forecast. Six month, one year...

Thanks!!

Hi,

I don´t know when but this is a hint: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=93393#93393
I think the new filemanager will support real file name.

I hope so I'm having a difficult time getting this one to work. Also, does anyone know why the system chokes on certain jpg images. I have some obsolete tools for creating images and the jpg file produced rarely renders in the current filemanager. Note: same images upload and render fine in WYSIWYG content parts.

Have you set the right size in conf.inc.php?
e.g.

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['img_prev_width']    = 800;      //max width of the large preview image
$phpwcms['img_prev_height']   = 600;      //max height of the large preview image

If your image has a size e.g. 789x588px the system don´t reduces this image.

I'll try it... BTW, those images don't show in the image browser either.

No, that wasn't it.

Ok found it... imagemajick can't handle the 'optional' jpg file header format. Works with the standard header.

regarding the cropping of images this might be helpful, also:

hassles with jpg rendering after upload continue... (1.3.5) finally reconfigured from imagemajick to gd2 and now it appears the problem is solved. If this thing proves me to be a liar again, I'll update this thread.

Also, when I get the time I'll review the imagemajick and php conf files... maybe the limitation is in there.

this thread is maybe out of date but a solution of the thumbnailissue would be the following.
thumbnails are cropped in center for default. The newest phpwcms version can render images in templates in various ways - means, there is a set of new Replacementtags like this:

Code: Select all

	<!-- 

		Thumbnail image: {THUMB_NAME}
		  relative:      {THUMB_REL}
		  absolute:      {THUMB_ABS}
		  height/width:  {THUMB_HEIGHT}px/{THUMB_WIDTH}px
		  image ID:      {IMAGE_ID}
		  image Hash:    {IMAGE_HASH}
		
		If you are not sure wrap zoomed image:
		[ZOOM]
		Zoomed (big) image: {IMAGE_NAME}
		  relative: {IMAGE_REL}
		  absolute: {IMAGE_ABS}
		  height/width: {IMAGE_HEIGHT}px/{IMAGE_WIDTH}px
		[/ZOOM]		

	//-->

a possible solution, for an imagegallery template could be (do not set cropping in Contentpart!):

Code: Select all

<!--IMAGES_HEADER_START//-->

[TITLE]<h1>{TITLE}</h1>[/TITLE]
[SUBTITLE]<h2>{SUBTITLE}</h2>[/SUBTITLE]
[TEXT]{TEXT}[/TEXT]

<div class="images" id="images{ID}">
<!--IMAGES_HEADER_END//-->


<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_START//-->
	<div class="imageEntry" id="img{IMGID}">
		<div style="width:160px;height:160px;overflow:hidden;background:url({THUMB_ABS}) no-repeat top center"></div>
		[CAPTION]<p>{CAPTION}</p>[/CAPTION][CAPTION_ELSE]<p>{IMGNAME}</p>[/CAPTION_ELSE]
	</div>
<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_END//-->


<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_SPACER_START//-->

	<!-- space between images {SPACE}px -->

<!--IMAGES_ENTRY_SPACER_END//-->


<!--IMAGES_ROW_SPACER_START//-->

	<!-- space between image rows {SPACE}px -->

<!--IMAGES_ROW_SPACER_END//-->


<!--IMAGES_FOOTER_START//-->
</div>
<!--IMAGES_FOOTER_END//-->

so, the CSS do the job.

Code: Select all

width:160px;height:160px;overflow:hidden;background:url({THUMB_ABS}) no-repeat top center

I did not try this and the [ZOOM] need to set too, but I think this should work.
It's a bit late, but maybe someone got a similar problem
