New Products module use MED sized pics

[pricediscrimination]

Hello, we use the new products module for the main page of the site. So when you are on the home page, you see 5 columns of 15 rows of products.

We have our image folders setup correctly: (pics) (MED) (LRG) pics being the base photos, MED being the photo on the product page, and LRG being the photo you see when you click the smaller photo.

We want to use MED size images for this module but keep everything else the same. Is it possible to tell the new products module to pull the photo from the MED folder instead of the base folder?

You may be better off installing Image Hander 2 and letting it manipulate your images using its optimizing techniques. In this way you need only have ONE image in the main images folder and IH2 will create appropriate thumbnails to use in all areas of the site.

Thanks for the idea. We have tried IH2 and were not satisfied with the results.

What was there to not be satisfied with?

The module is excellent - it will improve the appearance of images, enable MUCH faster loading, and allow you to have just one (main) image.

I'd be very keen to know what you didn't like about it.
