Category image upload process changes the image

We recently updated EDocman to version 1.5.2 and are very happy with its improvements. We have run into one issue, though. When we upload a Category image, the upload process increases the size of the image dramatically and the image doesn't display correctly.

Is there a setting we can change so that the Category image upload process doesn't change the image file? Or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?

Thank you,

Kent

Hi Kent

By default, the image will be resizing. If you don't want it to be resized, submit a support ticket sending us admin and FTP account of the site and we will do it for you !

Tuan,

We've looked at this issue some more and see that the category image upload is copying the files to the /var/www/html/media/com_edocman/category directory. If I move the image to the var/www/html/media/com_edocman/category/thumbs directory, then the image is the correct size. Perhaps we can customize the php file to copy them directly to the var/www/html/media/com_edocman/category/thumbs directory. In what Edocman php file will we find that code?

Thank you,

Kent

Hi

The code for process resizing image is located at administrator\components\com_edocman\model\category.php. So that is the file you need to modify it if you just want to copy instead of resizing.

You can try to get this file, unzip it, upload to administrator\components\com_edocman\model\ folder and check it again to see whether it works

Tuan,

Thank you very much. We edit the category.php
to change $categoryImagePath = JPATH_ROOT.'/media/com_edocman/category/';
to $categoryImagePath = JPATH_ROOT.'/media/com_edocman/category/thumbs/';
and now the icons are uploading without a size problem.

Hi Kent

Yes. That solution works, too
