add these code to 33 line on config.xml

param menu="hide" name="userImageHeight" type="text" default="100" size="4" label="User image (avatar) width (in px)" description="" /

these can set height value about category image and userimage.

i think so..

$handle->image_ratio_crop = true; //crop image
$handle->image_ratio_crop = false; //don't crop image

this line code can do this! but I haven't found which XML is. Maybe we should add a new XML file. I believe Lukas can achieve it

Hi, no. You will need to reapload only images (in your case category imgs) intended to have a new setting...

You're right. Reason is that if you add new item via K2 admin UI "function save" (in item.php) is called ...
"function save" seems to be responsible for thumbs creation...
I don't know how exactly your "hack for the automatically cache rebuild" works... But, you are on good way ;)

I'll keep my fingers crossed ;)

Cool, its works perfect!!!! thanks

I just tried for the image in the item, and it crops the image perfectly ! Just what I wanted.

I will need to try with the category images.

Thanks !

It is better to leave height in config.xml empty for images in item-detailed. Because crop makes them not proportional by height. Not so beautiful. But it depends what man will achieve.

I removed comment "//" from $handle->image_ratio_y = true; for those large images. Category thumbs are not sa important. They can be cropped.

Thanks for these hacks, but it's a little hard to all understand :/

For now, I use the hack for cache image here :

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/image-cache-questions?commentId=3536014%3AComment%3A19447

 

And I want to add your hack to add possibility to fix height in config files, What I need to do ?

 

Thanks ;)

I do the modif, but It don't take the size I define in config pop-up in backend... It takes the default size that I put in the code files...

 

Could you post all the files you've modify to have the complete hack ?

 

Thanks ;)

Here is how to resize images by width and height, but images (portret and lanscape) will keep ratio/proportions.

And images in Blog layout will allways have same dimensions in px (for instance, all images will be 150 px width X 100px height.)

 

Just tested and it works perfectly.

Decide width and height in px, then new thing is background-color for part of image block that is over.

So, black color will be top-bottom or left-right, in relation to pictures, depending if you have landscape or some picture with great height. (you can use any color you want)

And chose everything below to suit your needs (tex,S,L,XL)

 

//Medium image                $handle->image_resize = true;                $handle->image_ratio = true;                $handle->image_convert = 'jpg';                $handle->image_ratio_fill = true;                $handle->image_background_color = '#000000';                $handle->jpeg_quality = $params->get('imagesQuality');                $handle->file_auto_rename = false;                $handle->file_overwrite = true;                $handle->file_new_name_body = $filename.'_M';                if (JRequest::getInt('itemImageM')) {        $imageWidth = JRequest::getInt('itemImageM');        } else {        $imageWidth = $params->get('itemImageM', '100');        }        if (JRequest::getInt('itemImageM_Height')) {        $imageHeight = JRequest::getInt('itemImageM_Height');        } else {        $imageHeight = $params->get('itemImageM_Height', '115');        }        $handle->image_x = $imageWidth;        $handle->image_y = $imageHeight;        $handle->Process($savepath);

If it could be some way to override class.upload in K2 Admin.

Amazing what you can achieve with this.

But, you have only 5 shots.

Thanks, but where did I put that code ?

 

So, your code could be repeated with different px value for each format (S, L, XL...) ?

 

I don't really understand why did you put a color background, your code don't crop the image so it fills the space ?

 

Thanks again ;)

Sorry, it is

administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php

 

Be carefull with this. You need to be sure that this tweak is not used ( XS, S,XL,M,L ) for some Category where you don´t want it this way.

You can use this code for any type of images (all 5 - XS, XL, S, M, L). Just adapt it as you wish.

If you dont use $handle->image_background_color = '#000000';  then default color is white. It is up to you to decide.

Ok ;)

 

But I don't really understand.

If I have an image : 300px * 450px

 

I want to have a full thumbnail (no black stripes...) of size 200px * 100px.

 

Your script can do it ?

 

Thanks ;) 

You can have same color as your template background. (white, or some else)

Your picture, doesn´t matter if it is landscape od portrait, will allways be centered in image block.

 

It wont lose proportions.

 

If you don´t understand. You can have same thumbs in Category blog in pixels (remember borders ?), and still don´t lose proportions and ratio for tex portrait of Barack Obama and for some panorama picture.

Height is key here. Your pictures wont lose proportions and wont decide height in px.

And you have whole picture naturally, not cropped from center or similar.

So your script do that :

 



 

I'm wrong ?

Yes, like this. This would be default, white background. There is not some portrait picture there, but principle it like this.

I chosed black because i find it more elegant sometimes.
