Images not enlarging

I am using version 1.39h. When you click on larger image it does not enlarge. Have I not configured something or is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Re: Images not enlarging

Did you upload large and medium images to be displayed? I'm only seeing thumbnails, and if Zen Cart can't find the large images, then it will fall back first to the medium image and if it can't find that to the thumbnail.

This thread might help.

Re: Images not enlarging

My images are 600x600 pixels in .jpg format. I did not configure medium and large. I have had a cart before this and never had to do anything they just enlarged when you clicked on "Larger Image"

Can you please tell me how to get the larger image to pop up when you click on the thumbnail.. Or point me to the tutorial that tell you what to do.. I don't know why these new versions of Zen Cart seem different then the older ones. I have always just uploaded a 600x600 pixels image and it just enlarged when you clicked on "Larger Image"

Thanks
Robyn

Re: Images not enlarging

So what you're saying is that in the past you didn't optimise your images, instead relying on visitors' browsers to reduce them in size, which eats bandwidth, slows your site and produces variable results depending upon how well each browser handles image reduction - so is not a recommended approach - the link I gave you above tells you how to do it properly.

In respect of your current problem, i get that you think you've uploaded 600x600 images as you did before and so they could be displayed larger, but if I link to one directly e.g. http://robynsfetish.com/shop/images/gingerbreadwomenrobynsfetishpreview.jpg what I find is a 96x96 image.

I am having a similar issue wit the images not enlarging after moving my site to another server.
I moved the site from here:
http://www.gelcandleswholesale.com/index.php?main_page=products_all
to
http://gelcandlecompany.com/wholesale/index.php?main_page=products_all

Why are the images being displayed differntly and not enlarging?
Advice is appreciated.

Thanks

@spawnie69

Since your new site is down for maintenance, it's not possible to see or comment on this problem.

Geez what an idiot! It should be viewable now.
