[Solved] Black Background

[karoko]

If you have a problem with black backgrounds when you have uploaded your product images.

Replace this file ive attached on your installation and it will change it back to white again!

Its found directly in the root of your prestashop installation!

After replacing the file have to regenerate your thumbnails with the function in Back Office

Preferences/Images/Regenerate

The error seems to be in coding for PHP 5.2.8

Best regards Robin

images.inc.php

[karoko]

Thats all!

Hi Karoko

If I regenerate the images I won't lose them will I???

[shoulders]

I do not want a black or white background. I would just like the images resized, and if really needed a transparent background.

Is this possible?

thanks

open the images.inc.php with an editor like notepad++ and replace all jpg with png. Then regenerate the thumbnails.

All the resized pictures will have a transparent background.

ups, your post is one month old....

Tried copying the new code
Tried changing jpg to png

Hi,

I use the file sent by Style on the "problem with picture background" topic, and replace all the "jpg" to "png" and I have nice pictures with transparent background !!

Thanks everybody for giving these fixes !

However, even if the files are transparent, they have '.jpg' extension... does anyone know how I can change this?

Cheers

PS: attach is the final file

images.inc.php

Hello,

I can't get this to work

When I try to add a picture it says:
"1. an error occurred while copying image"

On my temporary server the shop works without this problem. It makes me crazy.

I'm Appreciating all the help I can get.

Regards

I guys,

I managed to get a nice version of images.inc.php to deal with png and transparency.
I post it here so that you can see if it works with you.

I haven't really tried jpg and gif yet, but I suppose it should work.

Cheers,

images.inc.php

Thank you GouMs it works great for the thumbnails but if the pictures aren't big enough they are spread to fill the entire display area.
How can we fix that?

Thank you

I didn't make the thumbnails big enough, but simply removed the border around the image. Go into the theme/ThemeName/css/ folder and edit the global.css file. Find the primary_block#image-block css rule and remove the border attribute.

[Bazoeka]

I installed Prestahop for several people on the same server. The black border problem occured suddenly on all the webshops. I could be wrong but it seems like the black border issue started after a PHP upgrade on the hosting server (PHP 5.2 to PHP5.3).

The solutions I find here are OK but have not the same result as the original images.inc.php

Transparent background is blury (see http://www.aludoor.be - 3th image on featured products) before this would be smooth or white ?

I also think that the new images.inc.php resizes the pics in a different way. I had to resize the thumbs below the product image on the product page to 78 px wide to have some white space between them.

When resizing the images on an 1.2.0.8 shop (after changing the images.inc.php file) the admin panel hangs after a while.

When using the images.inc.php file downloaded from the forum it is a solution for the front end but in the admin catalog the thumbnails are big pictures.

If it is a problem with server upgrade to PHP 5.3 maybe it is worth looking a little deeper into this problem ?

I still need a solution.

Hi all,

Thanks to you

[jdelgado]

Same situation here.
We never touched our image.inc.php and all at a sudden the small thumbs get resized with black background (instead of white as specified in that file).
If we try using Karoko's file we get "Error when trying to copy the image".

Any help appreciated!

Jose

[Laelenie]

there is a plugin in the prestashop Addons that solves the issue, compatible with prestashop 1.4+

Hi all, i installed the file and regenerated my images. I then received the same error as: exerberry above, then i decided to go to my ftp and make the file permissions 777, i then lost most of my products images ( if not all). How do i make sure that don't lose the images after regenerating?
