Archived from groups: alt>ecommerce (more info?)

I have seen .net programs which can actually / truley resize an image
on the fly. This way, only one image is uploaded to a site (say the
larger image) and then when you view a page of thumbnails, the
thumbnails can actually be created on the fly at a specific size. This
can help a site load much quicker as some sites simply constrain an
image to a smaller thumbnail even though the end-user is downloading
the whole original large image (thus the page takes a much longer time
to load). It can be very time consuming to make 2 images (a small
thumbnail and a larger image for every image), thus I have seen a few
image manipulation programs which can do this for you on the fly on a
web site.

Has anyone seen one of these as a module plug-in / addition for
Oscommerce?

(www.aspin.com) that doesnt need registering and works in shared hosting
environments - as for oscommerce ive no idea - never used it.

Yes, I am using this one and it works great! Just make sure your server
has the GD Library enable for PHP/Apache.


'On the Fly' Auto Thumbnailer using GD Library

This modification uses the GD 2 image library, which now comes packaged
with most PHP builds, to dynamically generate your product image
thumbnails on the fly. It works with GIFs, JPGs and PNGs, produces much
smaller thumbnail file sizes (saving bandwidth), maintains the proper
ratio of your pics, and does not create any extra files on your server.

Easy installation involves adding only one file and updating the
tep_image function. It should work with osC 2.1-2.2

Unfortunately, transparencies are not supported as of this release. GIF
creation was disabled in the GD Library due to liscencing issues with
Compuserve (Gifs are thumbnailed as JPGs), and I haven't got the PNG
transparencies quite worked out.
