Can Option Text and Finite Text be inserted into a custom pa

[Anthony Arnold]

Can Option Text and Finite Text be inserted into a custom page template via
some sort of IF statement?

These seems like it should be a simple IF-ELSE TAG addition to a product
template.

Is these any way the Default Product template can be inserted or modified
into the template I have created.

This cannot be done in ShopSite 5 but can in ShopSite 6 using a Call program or
in ShopSite 6.1 through an internal tag.
Here is the entry from the ShopSite 6.1 help
http://www.shopsite.com/help/6.1/en-US/ ... .spec.html

[-- ORDER_OPTION_MENU COLUMN --]
[-- ORDER_OPTION_MENU LINE --]
Returns a complete HTML table to present the ordering options for a product,

either all on one line or all in one column. This tag must be placed inside
a
FORM tag.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a cgi that can create thumbnails from regular
size images form the web site? I kow there are asp and php scriots, plus
and software that can do this, but how about cgi?

I have a client who has 2000 images and and I don't know if a cgi could
create the thumbnails for an image on the fly when called to do so?

Jim used this only as an example to answer an earlier question:


Example:

[-- CALL createthumbnail.pl(20,20,PRODUCT.Graphic) --]

The above example would call a program called createthumbnail.pl in the
ShopSite CGI directory, and pass in the values 20, 20, and a full <img> tag
for the graphic of the current product. This program might return an <img>
tag to a newly-created 20x20 thumbnail of the product graphic.


Thanks, Kevin Sullivan

I believe that Jim was just using this as an example, but I am sure that
there are such things available. If it were a Perl script then I am sure
you would need to install some highly specialized Perl modules on the
server to deal with the image manipluation. You should search for
'thumbnail' on freshmeat.net. Probably most hits will be for image
gallery-type stuff, but if you can look at the source and find the piece
of the code that makes the thumbnails, even that could be a start.

Kevin,
I just copied that example out of the help. I am not aware if such a
perl script exists. When I had a bunch of images I wanted to create
thumbnails for I created a script in Corel PhotoPaint and had them
created in a short period of time through a batch process.

Kevin,

Here are a few links to check out. Note that the perl scripts will probably
require GD or ImageMagik support to accomplish image manipulation.

Jim,

Do you know if any such scripting ability exists with Paint Shop Pro? I am
currently facing the creation of about 700 small images...

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with Paint Shop Pro so don't know if it can do such a thing
or not.
In PhotoPaint I created a script that would open the file <imagename>, resample
it at the size of the thumbnail, save the file as <imagename>_tn.jpg and close
the file. Then using a built in list capability I selected all the images I
wanted to convert and told it to run the script on all those files.

You might do a web search on Paint Shop Pro and see what you can find. There
is probably a newsgroup that deals with it.

Hi.

Photoshop has the ability to create thumbnails from one folder of images .
You just set the variables you want and push a button, and it does all the
work. It will also do optimization at the same time.

I guess then the images would be uploaded to shopsite images folder and then
assigned.

Kevin,

We're actually just beginning the process of shooting & reshooting
5,000 images or so. We use 3 different size images. Will Photoshop
allow you to rename each of the image sizes automatically with the
click of a button? We add a ".i" for the icon size and ".t" for the
thumbnail to each of the image's names. Currently, in PhotoImpact,
automate the other processes but we have to save each image
individually by adding the appropriate tag. So, can one of the
variables in Photoshop be to add a ".i" when saved? Thanks.
