Question on adjusting Warehouse theme for webp compatibility

[x97wehner]

I know the theme does not natively support it. But honestly, this is the only issue I have with the theme at this point. I have no idea what it would take to make the theme support it. Is it a few lines of code to change or many, many updates across many files?

If it's not much, I'd love some guidance on how to do it. Anyone done this before?

Thanks!

add 

<webp>1</webp>

into your config.xml file. Should look like this:

https://github.com/thirtybees/niara/blob/e8e7e46f18f5ff1b52df67b27382058be8af8537/config.xml#L221

Also, update to latest bleeding edge.

I will give this a try and report back. Thank you.

Worked like a charm. Thanks again.

Would this work for Panda as well... As bought their Webp module , but it doesn't work properly

you don't need their webp module. tb supports webp natively.

Another stupid question from my side:



Is it normal for them to have absolutely the same size?

I had the webp on 90, but I saw that there's an improvement at around 70 and regenerated them again but I think this is really strange...

No,it's not normal. That would be huge coincidence. What tb version are you running on? There were some fixes in bleeding edge regarding webp generation, so maybe updating to 1.4 will help.

I'm running on the lates edge from 2 days ago (after the webp commit).

Could it be that the culprit is the imagick module from M Dekker?

[the.rampage.rado]

After disabling the module the size of 70% webp is 1/4 of the 90% jpeg.

Obviously the module has some overrides that conflict with the latest functionality.

If anybody can 'heal' content creator module to use the webp version please send me a message with the fix!

Why is this Module needed for you? I can not even find it on github. I guess it's no more part of tb, cause MichaelD left long ago 😞

I had it since my shops were on PS but I removed it and now everything regarding webp is working fine.

Few places in Warehouse where the modules call .jpg files but....

There is a module repository on github: https://github.com/thirtybees/mdimagemagick
But actually this module is completely unnecessary for TB 1.4.0

As I said I was rocking it since PS times and I didn't really look if TB uses imagick natively or not. Whatever... When removed the webp files generate and show properly.
