Additional Images Size

[ddagmij]

[FONT="Arial"]Is there a way to enlarge the additional image size without affecting the size of the thumbnails in the side boxes? I know the additional imag size can be changed with admin>configure>images>small image size, but when I make this setting larger it does make the additonal imge larger but it throws off the layout of my page, making the sidebox thums larger also. Is ther a way?[/FONT]

I'm using v1.3.9 Can anybody tell me how to make the additonal image larger? I know this is controlled by the admin>configure>images>small image setting but when I make it larger it makes my thumbnails in my new items side box larger and throws off the whole layout. Here's a link to the page I'm playing with,

Never mind, after a lot of time trolling the net, not this forum, I was able to figure it out. Anybody wanting the answer can contact me through this thread and I'll be glad to help, unlike the zen-gods that may believe this question is unimportant. Not meaning to offend anybody but I've never had a question aswered through this forum. BTW, is it me or is this forum just as confusing as zen cart itself?...A Bit Bitter...

Find the file includes>modules>additional_images.php

On/about line 177 and 179 find these lines of code

$thumb_slashes = zen_image($base_image, addslashes($products_name), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$thumb_regular = zen_image($base_image, $products_name, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

Change all the SMALL to MEDIUM, like this

$thumb_slashes = zen_image($base_image, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$thumb_regular = zen_image($base_image, $products_name, MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

@Kobra, I didn't post a soulution because it seemed as if nobody was interested in my problem until I got a little 'chippy' about it.

Also, as a New Zenner this was very difficult for me to figure out. I would think a Black Belt would have posted the solution without dificulty.

As fare as being a 'good community member' goes, check yourself. You could have posted the soulution and upheld your 'good community member Black Belt status' without chastising me for not doing what appeared to be of no interest to anybody.

I believe it was my bitternes that attracted you to this thread rather than the intention of offering the help a 'good community menber' would have had.

Also, If it is me being confused as to the ease of use of this forum, could you please, 'Mr. Black Belt Good Community Member' not wag your finger at me but rather point me in the directions of how to use the forum. I have not found CLEAR DIRECTIONS to do so yet. Even the directions offered in this forum are confusing.

Thanks for being upstanding and posting what you found

Most of the community is volunteers...

As I stated above, as such we look to how much time, the abilities of the poster, and many factors when considering answering.

With less than 10 posts, and abrupt posts at that, no way of determining your experience....you didn't add anything about knowing php or not - - -
basically nothing but
"I have a problem - - what is the solution"

Recommending editing a file when we know nothing about you can become a task...
Some do not know other basics, such as FTP, file permissions, etc

Also, If it is me being confused as to the ease of use of this forum, could you please, ... point me in the directions of how to use the forum.

It is there for anyone who takes the time to look

Actually, not the case at all...
I only posted because ebanknoteshop was seeking a similar solution and that is what the "community" is about...wheather you found a solution or another assisted you, the answer should have been here for others to find

You got ZenCart, - - - paid nothing for it...

I've read all this stuff and it's still confusing.

Not really understanding this as I've done nothing others have done and gotten results.

Well, I still don't see a solution offered by you for ebanknoteshop so like I said before, check yourself before you wag your finger at me.

True, like millions of others. Good day to you and thanks for your input.

Hi, I changed the coding as advised to:

$thumb_slashes = zen_image($base_image, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

$thumb_regular = zen_image($base_image, $products_name, MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

but nothing happened. The thumbnail additional images are still the same small size. Can anyone else advise what to do to make the thumbnails larger?

Thank you!!
