I am an amateur in code development, but know enough to get around. I have been trying for days to disable the link associated with the featured image, so in fact, the image is static, and does not link to a post.
For information sake, I am using the Gridsby Theme.
Would love any advice.
Thanks!

I am new to Xamarin.Forms and looking for a help on two questions.
I would like take a picture with the camera or download one from a website. Once the image is loaded, to be able to draw on the image with stylus or finger. Once satisfied with the annotation, save the image back. Does anyone know of a tool that I could use to help speed up this dev effort?
Is there a way application can figure out if the image that is being saved is of good quality, meaning not blurry or with disturbance?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions / information.
Currently I am trying to build such customization of product in Bigcommerce Storefront that allows to display image with dynamic text, which was entered in Textbox. That means product image preview should be shown INSTANTLY with new image with written text.
so that the end user will know how the final product will looks like and also same image should go in shopping cart as well.
I know that there is an app on Shopify named as Product Builder.
Is this possible to do it on Bigcommerce?
Thanks in Advance
It's definitely possible with some fairly advanced client-side code. Unfortunately I don't know of any plug and play systems or apps for Bigcommerce that will achieve what you're looking for, but there are a couple ways to get a live updating product preview if you're willing to get your hands dirty.
Here's an example from my site. Click the button under "personalize this item", and you'll see a live preview image like you describe in the modal. Enter some text and change the monogram style and color, the preview image should update pretty quickly every time you change an option. A solution exactly like mine may not be feasible for you, since that site is using a pretty complex React/Redux implementation built on an extensively customized Stencil theme... it's far from a turnkey solution. That said, you could implement something similar without needing a totally custom app.
The image preview itself in the example above is powered by IMGIX.com. They offer a great service at a fantastic price. Basically my system translates the user-selected Bigcommerce option into a URL string per IMGIX's URL-based API. Displaying the live preview is then as simple as changing the image's src attribute to the corresponding IMGIX URL on every input change. I do this in a React component that consumes a Redux store, but something similar could definitely be done in the framework of your choice, or plain old vanilla JavaScript. Cloudinary offers a similar (maybe even a little bigger) feature set to IMGIX, but I found IMGIX to be a bit faster, and the pricing was considerably less for my usage.
You could also write something that uses the HTML5 canvas to overlay text and effects on an image, and thereby avoid using a third-party service. I found such a solution to be way more work and way more taxing on the client-side device, but it'd definitely be another way to skin the proverbial cat.
There may be other viable solutions out there, but the above has been my experience in implementing something similar to what you're looking for on Bigcommerce. I hope this is helpful!
I have an issue with Magento. My pictures work well in every sections but in the **recently viewed products I get a blurry result. I don't understand why because in the catalog I have the same pictures using the "small_image" that display fine without being blurry. I guess the reason is because the picture is resized to be small then resized again to be bigger, PLEASE how can I fix that.
I attached a screenshot showing the resize and how blury the pictures are.
THANKS in advance for your help !!
Picture : Blurry Image and resize
I have encountered similar issues where the image is either blurry or suffered from color loss. After digging in, i found out that Magento uses the GD library out of the box which works pretty well, but there are alternatives out there. The library that solved my problems was ImageMagick. It does require you do install a php extension though and some code changes, but the results are worth it.

Did you try to change the quality to 100% under Configuration/Advanced/System/Images Upload Configuration? You need to clean the Catalogue image cache after.
Does anyone know how to resize an image in Magnolia CMS 5.0 without cropping it? I have handled to work with the Assets module and the options that it provides for adapting images to my preferences. However, it just provides (as far as I know) the option to crop and zoom those images. I wonder if that module is configurable to show those options? I attach a screnshot with the options that I can see in the Assets module. Thanks in advance!
This might sound a bit odd, but the image editor doesn't resize images.
Instead, Magnolia is designed with the idea that editors will upload a single high-quality images and that Magnolia will generate variations of the image as needed by the site design.
Check out http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Responsive+Web+design#ResponsiveWebdesign-Optimizedimages for more details.
Also, if you want to get more timely answers, I'd recommend posting your questions to the Magnolia forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com
Does anyone know of any free frameworks that help you create thumbnails for web pages, that when clicked, the original image loads ontop of the page (modal like), as oppossed to opening a separate page.
Thanks!
This is really 2 questions in 1. The "lightbox" display of the original, larger sized, images in a modal box is handled in JavaScript with a library such as ThickBox. The resizing of the images can be done manually, or via some kind of code on the server side. Sitepoint has a decent guide on how to resize server side with PHP. I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
Lightbox.

I've used DhoniShow a few times in the past, and clients really liked it. It's not AJAX, as it loads all the full sized images on page load, but if you were motivated I'm sure you could make that change pretty easily.
As have been already said, you can use Lightbox to get the effect to the user, I would use it with its ajax mode, loading the thumbnail as its contents.
Now for the thumbnail, I would recommend you something like http://megasnaps.com/ wich you can use for free.
Good luck.
