Enforce Specific Image Resolution for Upload

Hi,

We have a client with a multi vendor site and would love the option to be able to enforce a specific image resolution when uploading a product image in the front end editor. I know its currently possible to force hikashop to resize or crop images to a specific resolution but this can lead to inconsistencies throughout the site i.e pixelation, white space etc and depends on the size of the original image. We would prefer vendors to resize their images correctly before uploading and enforce this rule by not allowing images to be uploaded unless they meet a specified size criteria.

Otherwise if there is a view or helper file override that can achieve the above we would appreciate any help to setup

Cheers

Hi Jerome,

I'll provide more details of our situation if its something you think is worthwhile adding to hikashop I know we would appreciate it being added.

At the moment if a vendor adds an image of their product to the store we are reliant on them uploading an image that is either at the specified resolution (not enforceable) or of the same aspect ratio as the hikashop image size (again not enforceable). If the image is too small it will pixelate or if the image has the incorrect ratio will be processed and white space added or the image is cropped. If the vendor uploads a portrait image in place of a landscape canvas it will either add white space to either side of the image or excessively crop the image to fit the size. This subtracts from the consistency of the store and likely turns people off, hurting sales.

I think it would be great to have an option to restrict an image upload to being a particular ratio (with a margin perhaps so the image doesn't have to be pixel perfect) along with limiting images to being at least X pixels in height or width (only one being required as the other can be derived)

This way when a customer is browsing the listings in a store there is no way possible for different vendors of different IT competency to detract from the consistency or layout of the store with odd shaped images.

If the above is not achievable are there any plugins you're aware of that would suit or will it require development?

Thanks,
