Adjusting featured products thumbnail size

General General Questions
1

Where would I go to adjust the size of the thumbnail of the featured products on the store front?

2

Admin, settings, thumbnails and there is one in Appearance, Thumbnail width on product list page (leave empty to use original size).



And also possible, product_pages/products_small_list.tpl


{include file="common_templates/image.tpl" [COLOR=Red]image_width="40"[/COLOR] obj_id=$obj_id images=$product.main_pair object_type="product"}

That doesn’t let me control the thumbnail size on the store front, only in the categories. I tried all 3 settings and none of them affect the front page. The front thumbail is currently set to 70x70, and none of the current settings reflect this. I am thinking that it is coded into one of the templates, any idea which?

I think you may have to create your image settings =size, then re-upload your images, not used it for a while, but I think that is what you will need to do. In fact I’m sure :?

My images are all 250x250, so some code somewhere is scaling them down, but it’s not anything that can be found in the admin panel. I am pretty sure it’s going to be in the templates, where can I find the featured products template?

The software uses GD server side to resize the detailed image down to the sizes you set in admin. The files are in product_pages folder.



You can disable, Create thumbnails from detailed images automatically, and upload all your own resized images.

Thanks for your help Zardos. The option I was looking for was located in /skins/basic/customer/addons/listmania/listboxes/products2.tpl. There are several templates in there, but I was using the products 2 style to display items on the front page. In there I had to adjust the image width from70 to the size I required.

Forgot all about listmania, sorry about that Premier. :rolleyes:

I’m having a similar issue on the listmania/products2.tpl (actually all the thumbnails)



It auto resizes the images to a width of 70 (image_width=“70”)



But the height of the image is totally incorrect so the images all look distorted in height…



Is there a way to set both the width and the height of these images so that I can control how they will look?



Actually, I would rather use all my own thumbnails, turn off any "auto create thumbnails (just doesn’t do quality resizing imho)…but I wouldn’t have a clue as to how to get them into all the different uses in listmania like multi-columns, products. multi-columns small, products2 extra.



So I am extremely interested in what zardos referred to below:


[QUOTE]The software uses GD server side to resize the detailed image …You can disable, Create thumbnails from detailed images automatically, and upload all your own resized images.[/QUOTE]



Can some one please walk me through how I would go about doing this so that I can create all my own thumbnails and use them instead of CS-Cart doing it for me?



This is what I have done so far:

Administration > Settings > Thumbnails

Create thumbnails from detailed images automatically = Unchecked



Look and Feel > Appearance

Thumbnail width on product list page (leave empty to use original size) = Empty



But I’m still getting “ugly” thumbnail images in Listmania, except when I use the “Products” setting which displays all the images in their actual size.



Thanks for the help,
