It's usually best with an image problem to post a url where we can see (or not see :D) what the problem is.
Ryk,
The problem is the image is not loading from custom directory. It only likes to take image from main directory and /image/large and /image/medium. Its does like to read or write into the custom directory. And again i checked all my attribute the are fine.
Bit weird. My small image is the same size as the medium image. Then large is about 25K file size. ....:frusty:
The reason I (and others) ask for a url is that there's a range of tools we use to view the page from the simple View Source to Firefox and its various extensions.
It could be something as simple as uppercase/lowercase mismatch of directory/file names.
:clap::blush: I know now. I changed the /medium and /large folder to attribute 777. But not the custom folders. Silly me...:frusty:
Now only 2 folders for my images and they are stored like this:-
images/medium/[some directory]
images/large/[some directory]
I don't have any folder for small images.
Well you should do - images/[somedirectory]
Yes Yes Ryk,
Added /images/[somedirectory]. I thought i dont need it. After a few minutes i realise the files are uploaded into /images/[somedirectory] as well.
Thank you
ok so i have shirts that come up just fine with the images i have uploaded but now i have created a new catagory and new product for download and its only reading the small image from the main directory... what am i missing?
http://www.ransomapparel.com/store
look at "designs".
I'm using the images/, images/medium and images/large folders and uploading the 3 sized images into them.
Now I've run into the problem where I have too many files to view them all with FTP and when I need to remove an image I end up having to do it one by one with File Manager from the host side. I realize the folder view at at 1998 is to keep time and load down on the server (and have found out that my host actually suggests/mandates no more than 2500 files/images per directory.
If I create subdirectories like images/test1, images/medium/test1 and images/large/test1 and move the images into the subfolders will Zen pick up the images from the subfolders or will I need to change everything from the product page also?
Hopefully this won't be as hard as I think it's going to be, I'm trying to get those down to where I can do maintenance from FTP rather than File Manager.
Any guidance or suggestions appreciated much!
No - not without....Quote:

You don't need to re-arrange what you've already got, but just start your sub-directory approach immediately...whenever you add new products, ensure that you select the appropriate sub-directory for the image on the data entry page.Quote:

Hi all, first post, so be gentle. Extremely useful start to the thread on image preparation.
I am preparing the product images for my new site. I'm using all square images for simplicity, so small are 120px, medium 180px and large 360px.
Forgive me if the question has already been answered in this thread or elsewhere, but I need to get my head around where each size version of the image is used on the site. I understand _MED is used in the product display, and _LRG is used in the 'larger image' pop-up. In configuration>images we have at the top
Small Image Width
Small Image Height
So should this be set to 120px a 120px, the size of my prepared image, or does it not matter?
and at the bottom a whole list of images
Image - Product listing width
Image - Product listing height
etc.
etc.
Are all these various images produced from the Small Image version?
If i set these sizes to say 80px x 80px, will they be resized from the 120px x 120px small image or the 360px x 360px large image? My pages will be very image intensive, so I don't want small images drawn from big ones with unnecessary large file sizes and slowing down of page loading.
