"larger image" opens in tiny window

**mzimmers** · 11 Mar 2010, 07:22 PM

Hi -

As the title says, when I click on the "larger image" text below my image, I indeed get a larger image...in a really tiny new window. Can I control the size of the new window? It's kind of silly that it opens a new window that's smaller than the original image.

Thanks.

Looks OK to me. When you first click on 'larger image' a little box opens, but if you wait for the image to load, it's big.

Hmm...not for me. I'm running FireFox on a Mac; what's your environment?

And, in Chrome, it works fine, just as you said.

So, I guess the question is, is there a way to "force" the desired behavior? Or, is this even a good idea to try?

Thanks.

I use XP, and it works OK for me in IE6, 7 and 8 and Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

I'm thinking it works the way it does because Zencart doesn't know how big the window needs to be until the image loads.

If all your large images are the same size, you could probably change some code to open the window to that size. I'll study on it.

I'd appreciate that. I can play with it, too, if you can point me to the file that contains the new window directive.

Actually, I'm just stalling until Glenn shows up and tells us how to do it

Ahem..."stalling" is a tactic confined to politicians and other vermin. We developers merely engage in "creative procrastination."

First Are all of your large images matted to exactly the same size?
If not do that
Then in a copy of /includes/templates/template_default/popup_image_additional/tpl_main_page for your template change

Code:

<body id="popupAdditionalImage" class="centeredContent" onload="resize();">

To

Code:

<body id="popupAdditionalImage" class="centeredContent" onload="">

Than - and this is not overridable so maintain an original
/includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_main.php file change the sizes to the size of your large image

Code:

function popupWindow(url) {
  window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150')

Thanks, Kobra. Can I safely assume that if my images aren't all the same size, I can pick values that are fairly close and live with it?

(I'm just asking out of academic curiosity; I can make all my images the same size.)
