Images for V3.0.3 thumbs not focusing for me.

Post by screach »

I can't get the image focused properly on the thumbs http://warriordvds.com/pk-v3.0.3/. The full page, full image, seems ok. I have not loaded all the images until i figure out what's wrong.

I set the css in v3 to 130x130

Out of ant i export the images using 300x300. The actual image from IMDB is more liek 500x500 with a lot of white around the image. I'd like to remove all the white but for over 900 images thats going to take awhile.

Any ideas or more info you need from me to recommend why my thumbs are not resizing properly.

Thank you guys,
John

I honestly have no clue why the images wouldn't be in focus, your the first one with this issue.. :(
---------------------
About the white space...This is why I started using DVDEmpire to load images instead of Amazon.

You should look into editing the image thumbnailer file located at the following location. This is where I load the image into memory, resize it, and save the cached image.

moviedb\templates\default\images\resize.php

It shouldn't be too hard to add a little logic after I load the image into memory, to crop out a specified border width from the outside of the image. You want to insert your cropping code after the section labeled "Check for missing width and height options" and before the section "Resample Image". Take a look at this page for all the ImageGD options..

If you get this working, please share the code.. I would love to include it. I am currently pretty busy, so can't offer much more help than this..

Do you happen to know what version of ImageGD you are running on that server? It might have something to do what that.
