And on IE 8 too. Ok guys guess its time to update this module, cant be helped eh? Next version: full compatibility with IH2, and fixing stuff on IE and Safari.

I'll let you know after this two weeks.

Now the quality is too low to be used. Thanks a lot.

No prob, will do,

dang its really, really hard to combine this with IH2. I think the best I can do for now is fish for IH2's high quality image resizing technique...

Crossing your own words is not a good thing to do but man, really busy like hell these days I haven't got time to update the module... tho I have mapped up what needed to be done code-wise. I'd rather not promise anything yet but I'll definitely update this module when I get some free time.

Guess time is scarce nowadays eh?...

I hope I can help out here. If a few brave souls want to help test this hopefully we'll all benefit until Jay has some free time to work on the Image Handler integration.

I am having much better luck with the file I've attached. If anyone wants to try it out for themselves simply replace the ais_image_functions.php file found in admin->inclueds->functions->extra_functions . Then go into the image swapper manager and give it a shot on a test product.

PS, the first time I tried this I simply renamed the file that was on the server and then uploaded the one I'd edited and got this message when I went into the image swapper manager:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare upload_resized_image() (previously declared in /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ais_image_functions_jay.php:14)

I simply backed up the file that was there then deleted it the replaced it with the new one and was fine.

If it doesn't work for you please create a php file with the following code and upload it to your server, then go to that page and copy and paste the results.

<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>

For reference the version on my server is:
GD Version"]=> string(27) "bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

From what I understand about gd2, bundled is the key word for using some of their functions.

Good luck!

Jaycode,

I've got SimpleSEO 2.9.6 installed, & Ajax Image Swapper 1.2, and can't get images to work. Do I need to upgrade? Or is there a simple fix?

Thanks,
Chuck

As far as I'm concerned this should still work with SEO URL modules... but maybe, the problem was when it sends ajax request to http://yoursite.com/AJAX_servers/AIS_server.php it was redirected to other page by SEO module

Thanks. I'll look into it now.

Hi All,

I've tested the file I posted above on two more gd2 library versions and am getting good results so I would say to go ahead and give it a shot. I'm even going to downgrade my "brave souls" comment to "mildly adventurous" . Just remember to backup the original somewhere other than the webserver in case you want to revert.

I also realized that I didn't explicitly say what that file does but it redoes the way AIS resizes/resamples the images. In other words it fixes the image quality problems that a lot of people are having issues with. I've tested it with .jpg and .png files with near perfect results and am getting excellent compression to quality compromise. (The images this file produces are the same size as the original version, but with much better quality)

[jaycode]

Thanks grey! I also found some problem with the design. With what it currently is, really hard to redesign if you need to change how AIS look.

It is still an idea but hopefully in the next version AIS can be edited just by editing css or at max html files.
