(prelovac rates it 11th best at the moment <a href="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins-rising-stars" rel="nofollow">http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins-rising-stars</a> ) </p> <p>1) Tutorial Written by the author of the plugin <a href="http://www.totorotimes.com/news/retina-display-wordpress-plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://www.totorotimes.com/news/retina-display-wordpress-plugin/</a></p> <p>2) Here is a video where a developer of a competing plugin is interviewed and they discuss both of them. Definitely worth watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt2Bxa7-K44" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt2Bxa7-K44</a></p> <p>Here is just some other chitchat about retina &amp; woo that is current</p> <p><a href="http://cutekool.com/unlockmyphone/jordy-meow-on-plugin-wp-retina-2x-creates-90x90-150x150-and-300x300-anyway/" rel="nofollow">http://cutekool.com/unlockmyphone/jordy-meow-on-plugin-wp-retina-2x-creates-90x90-150x150-and-300x300-anyway/</a><br /> <a href="https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/2469" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/2469</a></p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/best-practice-for-retina-hidpi-product-images#post-102301 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:06:46 +0000 gsTom 102301@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks Devin and Nick,</p> <p>any experience with Replete/Woo yet? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/best-practice-for-retina-hidpi-product-images#post-102063 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:20:07 +0000 Nick 102063@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Use this plugin <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-retina-2x/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-retina-2x/</a> . IT should do all the dirty work for you, so you don't have to make multiple versions of the same image yourself.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/best-practice-for-retina-hidpi-product-images#post-102055 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:44:08 +0000 Devin 102055@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Tom,</p> <p>My guess would be using a plugin to add retina support. I have very little experience with retina support as I believe most of the support crew does except Kriesi himself (who is I believe the only owner an idevice at all). </p> <p>I'll tag everyone on the topic to see if anyone has some additional thoughts on it.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/best-practice-for-retina-hidpi-product-images#post-101880 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:07:02 +0000 gsTom 101880@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>before I start to add product images to my Replete 1.3.1/woo2.0.3/wp3.5.1 installation (development site) I would like to ask, what would be the best way to prepare them to get the most out for my visitors with and without retina display (or so called HiDPI supported devices).</p> <p>I did not change any of the sizes configuration in functions.php<br /> Just to see some of them:<br /> <code><br /> $avia_config['imgSize']['fullsize'] = array('width'=&gt;930, 'height'=&gt;930, 'crop'=&gt;false); // big images for lightbox and portfolio single entries<br /> $avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=&gt;1500, 'height'=&gt;430 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider<br /> $avia_config['imgSize']['featured_small'] = array('width'=&gt;990, 'height'=&gt;280 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider<br /> </code></p> <p>Would it be best practice to make the big images for lightbox and portfolio single entries for example the double width, so save it with 1860 pixels and upload them or better 930 pixels?</p> <p>Any suggestions or white papers for that available?</p> <p>Thank you<br /> Tom </p>
