Web Design
I had a problem appear this week that I've seen before, but couldn't remember the best resolution for it.
If you don't setup your ImageCache Presets correctly, you sometimes get caught with black stripes down the sides of your images. In my case, this was happening in a view used on the Tyler Brothers website, in this case the page for Youth and Children's Carhartt clothing.
The solution to the black stripes is to define your "canvas" color within your imagecache preset. Here's what I believe to be the best way:
First, install the ImageCache Actions module. This module gives you a great number of options to transform your uploaded images.
Then, add a Define Canvas action. The position of this action is important. In my case, it needs to go between the Scale and Crop actions.
Drupal is free, open source software that can be used to easily create and manage various different types of Web sites. The Drupal application includes a content management platform and a development framework that make it simple, even for those who think they may not have the technical skills necessary to build a website.
I am loading an online store with several hundred product images. Unfortunately, all images in the vendor's catalog CD is all in tif format. The images are huge and need to be converted to JPG. ProStores does not allow you to upload tif for product images, and now that I know how huge they are I wouldn't want to anyway. I went to download.com and found a free product that might do what I needed. I needed to convert several hundred images from tif to jpg, and I'd like to re-size them while I'm at it.
I've been coding HTML for over 12 years and today reminded me that it's never too late to learn something new. I don't know why I didn't know this but today I watched someone code an HREF adding a Target="_blank" to the tag in order to make the link pop up in a new window. It was on a SharePoint site, so I thought maybe it was a Microsoft-specific thing. No, said the person coding it. I was amazed.
