Retina Ready Images


Recommended Posts

Interesting question.  Made me think of how I could use that in future projects so I spent a little time looking into it.  I haven't used this but, it appears that it's a simple solution. Short story, using Retina Images you add a couple lines to htaccess, plop a php file in the home directory and then "For every image that you would like to have served at high-res, create an image at twice the size and save it with @2x at the end of the filename (before the file extension)"  Don't know for sure, but I'd guess you'd have to upload the high-res img via ftp and not through the back office.  Hopefully there isn't a conflict between his htaccess rewrite and the prestashop rewrite.

Just to update, I tried to use Retina Image but was unable to overcome a conflict between the .htaccess lines required by Retina Image and Prestashop's own htaccess file.  Resulted in Server Error 500.

I then tried to obtain the module suggested by @razaro, but following the link at https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/238033-module-retina-images/ to http://www.treetheme.com/ got me a server not found error.  Don't know if treetheme is down for good or just temporarily.

As they say, the search goes on...

Was just about ready to give a try to use retina.js and then saw the above.  Purchased it and it works nicely and so easily.  None of the extra steps to uploading that would've been involved in the other options.  Gotta download all three options because the install/use guide is only in the first file, not the updated or 1.6 version.  Thanks to @cocothecat for such a useful, but incredibly inexpensive, module.
