Bestsellers thumbnail images not Thumbnails...

I just gave the Bestsellers thumbnail images Sidebox a try and found the thumbnails to be my full size original images, so I uninstalled it immediately. Anyone else installed this and had a similar problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks!

Re: Bestsellers thumbnail images not Thumbnails...

Hi, sorry only just saw this thread, you need to include the style sheet code included in the readme. The thumbnail size is controlled by the style sheet code that I included, simply copy and paste the CSS from the readme into your css file in the appropriate place (the readme tells you exactly where).

You're so close to having a fantastic mod here. I think Peace Freak was trying to say that he uninstalled the mod because the thumbnails are nothing more than shrunken versions of the full-sized product image. This slaughters bandwidth, and could easily be overcome if you used the small images generated by Image Handler, for example.

Unfortunately I'm also uninstalling this mod for now, I'll be watching this thread though.

Re: Bestsellers thumbnail images not Thumbnails...

Yes, you are right Valaroopie! If the thumbnails were actual thumbnails, this would be a wonderful mod... Until then, I will wait.

Re: Bestsellers thumbnail images not Thumbnails...

Thumbnail size is controlled via stylesheet, as per readme instructions in
zip file for adding additional stylesheet code.. i.e.

.bestsellers_thumbnail {
width: 26px;
padding-right: 4px;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
  }

Instructions for using this sidebox with Image Handler given

Actually this technique works with or without using Image Handler.

Re: Bestsellers thumbnail images not Thumbnails...

Hi, I have installed the mod and I have done it correctly I checked it over about 100 times and I can't even get my sidebox to show up. I have went in the admin area/tools/sideboxes controls and made sure it was on and it is.

Why won't this show up.

I think I had this problem before I installed this mod though, because when I wen't to edit this in the tools section it said it was already on before I updated it to the site.

Any help anyone I am stumped about this. I have never seen anything just not show up.

I manually checked each file to make sure that they wen't into the correct spots also.

zen 1.3.7

I did all of this and changed the yourtemplate to my template name also.

  1. extract best_sellers.php to includes\modules\sideboxes\YOURTEMPLATE
  2. extract tpl_best_sellers.php to includes\templates\YOURTEMPLATE\sideboxes
  3. Find the following CSS in includes\templates\YOURTEMPLATE\css\stylesheet.css file (approx line 478)
    #bestsellers .wrapper {
    margin: 0em 0em 0em 1.5em;
    }
    #bestsellers ol {
    padding: 0;
    margin-left: 1.1em;
    }
    #bestsellers li {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0.3em 0em 0.3em 0em;
    }
    and replace it with this
    .bestsellers_thumbnail {
    width: 26px;
    padding-right: 4px;
    float: left;
    margin: 0px;
    }
    #bestsellers .wrapper {
    margin: 0em 0em 0em 0.9em;
    }
    #bestsellers ol {
    padding: 0;
    margin-left: 1.1em;
    }
    #bestsellers li {
    margin-left: 3px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    margin: 0em 0em 1.3em 0em;
    clear: both;
    }

As you can see it's not here and it is on, https://www.orgazmictoys.com is where I have it installed.

Agreed. I had to uninstall it as soon as I knew it uses the full-sized image rather than the small one. The CSS customisation is a wrong practical technique because it's distorted and it's not fully optimised.

I appreciate the mod though but it need a little extra effort to make it perfect.
