PS 1.7 themes will not work

@jnsgioia - I hope you didn't pay too much for the theme.

[jnsgioia]

@Havouza I didn't think so. @alwayspaws Thankyou :) It has paid for itself since I had it up and I knew nothing about the structure of prestashop when I started so needed something quickly then.

[alwayspaws]

WTG! :)

I had to use the cart I had on LJsBooks.com for another site, long story, so needed something quickly that looked good. I've been building websites for years but didn't know anything about hooks and modules, just html and php :)

[alwayspaws]

So now you're hooked! lol. I'm working on editing docs now.

Alright, seems to work fine. If the module refuses to install you do not have the PHP Imagick extension and/or ImageMagick installed. Follow these instructions to fix that: https://github.com/thirtybees/mdimagemagick#installation

@mdekker My problem with category images being postage-stamp sized is now fixed with this ImageMagick module.

Solved! I just can't mark it solved. I also accidentally marked solved my own post (lol) in the other forum and can't change it. Credit goes to @mdekker

I have re-uploaded all 15000 images now after installed ImageMagic and I must say the quality improvement is amazing. Good work @mdekker !

@mdekker said in Image handling stinks in PS:

Yeah we should make it part of the core. It'll be a module with a few overrides for now.

Yes, please make it part of the core in an upcoming release.

and @roband7

Michael: @roband7 is your co- developer of ImageMagick?

Kudos to both of you!

@Havouza - Congratulations! This is wonderful!

All you have to do is have ImageMagick installed, upload the images and that's it?

Which settings did you use? Did you use @roband7 suggested settings?

Yes, correct

Fabulous!

My current server runs ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 which by default is not secure. However the recommended changes to the ImageMagick policy.xml file have been made which, according to ImageMagick and a bunch of security sites, make earlier versions secure & safe to use. (I have asked the host to upgrade the package but I'm not sure if they will.)

So my question is can I use the ImageMagick module with the following packages installed on the host:

• PHP imagick extension 3.4.3

• ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 (with recommended policy.xml changes)

• PHP 7.0

• thirty bees 1.0.0

I'm happy to give it a try and see what happens but any thoughts in advance would be appreciated.

I'm definitely going to give it a try and see how it goes. I use Imagemagick extensively in my automated workflow for resizing & watermarking images, very happy to see it on TB as well!
