[SOLVED] Thumbnail / image quality

is there any way to make our images a quality better eg.customise the thumbnailer

Quality of the large images is terrible, how can I make them better quality.

if you use jpg files then change all function imagejpeg in plugin php file:

from like this:

Code: Select all

imagejpeg($first_arg, $second_arg);


for:

Code: Select all

imagejpeg($first_arg, $second_arg, $QUALITY);


where $QUALITY is value 0-100, for your the best will be sth like 90-100

thanks for the solution!

Hi guys,

I have the same problem and I can't find the plugin php file to make the change, which folder is it in?

Thanks

it is plugin php file which you must upload in component

I wish I knew what you're talking about..

I'm sorry but it's the first time I'm dealing with php files and Joomla... could you please be more specific?

Is it a file I have to create (and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able) or I need to get it from somewhere?

Thanks

this plugin has name like gk_news_image_1.php and you must change lines mentioned in previous posts

I've checked every single folder I have downloaded to install template and components, and I couldn't find that php file...

I've downloaded another template (ILife) and its folder actually contains that plugin.

However there's no such line as imagejpeg, but in class.image.php (same folder) I've found:

Code: Select all

imagejpeg($imageBG,$pathB.DS.'thumb'.$size.DS.$name, $Quality);

Do I have to change this one?
If so, how can I add the quality values?


Thanks a million for your help

In new version of Photoslide you can set this values in group settings so you mustn't change it manually in file

I see, that makes life much easier, thanks!
