Setting up images for sale - different sizes

I am working on the store that will sell images.

What I want to have on the products page is pretty standard - a list of images (thumbnails) and when the user clicks on the individual product(image) they will see a larger image...

Similar to this site
http://taysidemedia.com

Is there a way in this shopping cart to upload both image sizes through Admin panel or will I have to do some custom coding for that?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Setting up images for sale - different sizes

ya, the support here is truly amazing.

i guess you get what you pay for.:)

i found this
http://breakmyzencart.com/image-handler

i am going to try this out, hopefully this work.

PS: I read online (not on this site) that Zen cart simply uses html resizing for thumbnail and full size image resizing. Try adding the product with an image, then click on its product page, you will see that image size differs on the list and on the product page.

This plugin apparently actually resizes images.

So i do not know what to do about it. i've posted a question about it and I hope someone will help.

Re: Setting up images for sale - different sizes

Please follow the instructions on installing it, the instructions are in the readme file in the package (when you unpack it).

First, though, make sure you are running GD lib.

I installed it on my server and it does do what you need to do, specifically, you upload a large (full size) image, and IH will resize it on the fly for thumbnail and hover sizes while keeping the aspect ratio to avoid skewing the image. It will also add a watermark (you need to turn that feature on through Admin though).

Did you find the installation instructions?

I am now going to install Zen Lightbox for more pizzaz.
