[SOLVED] opencart images are all in landscape position

I made some photos with my samsung phone.
And when I open that on my PC are all portrait but imediatelly when I upload it to opencart are all landscape.
I use opencart 3.0.4.0.
How to solve that so pictures are in position as they are made - portrait?

When you took them were they in landscape or portrait?
When you look at them on the computer are they landscape or portrait?
How are you uploading them to the site?

My first thought is to look at them on the computer and adjust them.

In the past I've had some odd things happen with landscape vs portrait in general that didn't make any sense, although those issues had to do with video. First thing to check is the actual dimensions of the image, don't go by how whatever application is orienting it. Right click on the image, go to properties->details. Is the width larger than the height.

Not sure if it is this but the upload handler of the filemanager in admin has this: so it may be due to the EXIF meta data stored with your images on your phone which causes the uploader to rotate the image.
this is in: admin/view/javascript/filemanager/UploadHandler.php

There is no such file in OpenCart 3.0.4.0 !

Funny is that picture created landscape are OK.

Not sure if it is this but the upload handler of the filemanager in admin has this:

Code: Select all

			'image_versions' => array(
				// The empty image version key defines options for the original image:
				// Keep in mind that these options are inherited by all other image versions!
				'' => array(
					// Automatically rotate images based on EXIF meta data:
					'auto_orient' => true
				),
				..........
				
				
				

so it may be due to the EXIF meta data stored with your images on your phone which causes the uploader to rotate the image.
this is in: admin/view/javascript/filemanager/UploadHandler.php

there is no folder "filemanager". I have add print screen of my folders

That's what I thought. What @nonnedelectari quoted simply doesn't exist in a standard OC 3.0.4.0, not sure where he gets it from.

But it seems you have installed some extensions from purpletree which may have modified the filemanager.

I tested it before I installed purpletree and it was the same

Attach one of the those images here.

sorry about that, was from an extention I have, not default OC.

Still, you could search your admin side source php files for "exif_read_data", and see if that php function is used anywhere or just "exif" in php and js files.
If it is done server-side, the exif data has to be read somewhere.
If not, it might also just be your phone which does this while uploading?

here they are.

Orientation and mobiles is an issue - Orientation and Opencart is not.

It would very much appear the issue is with uploading directly from your phone.
In addition the imagine sizes from your phone greatly exceed the recommended images sizes for a website.
If you search google you can find lots of information regarding orientation and mobile - search for your exact model and you may find there is a setting in your phone.

As is correct practice anyway - you should be compressing your images before uploaing.
There are many online sites that do this for free - as an example - https://tinypng.com/
Since they create new images they probably do not include the image data from your phone that appears to be causing you a problem.

If that site doesnt work - try another online compressor.
There is nothing anyone can offer here for your phones including data. Opencart does not edit orientation and you say your theme is not the issue either - so that leaves your phone or some extension.

There is no easy solution if some of your images are landscape and some portrait. Opencart resizes everything to fit cached preset sizes, unless your theme / extensions mess with that.

Here are some solutions, using tinypng.
