How to Use Medium Size Pic. in Product Info. Page?

Can anyone tell me if there is a switch in Admin where I can use to specify the size of the image for use at the Product Info. page?

My small and medium image are set to 120px X 120px and 180px X 180px respectively. When I browse to a Product Info. page, the small image is displayed rather that the medium size one. How can I display the medium size image instead? TIA.

P.S. I have installed Image Handler v2.

The product info page is by default to use the _MED image.

Imagehandler is supposed to handle this for you...are you certian that it is installed & configurred correctly? As when functoning correctly you should not have to interact any further.

Re: How to Use Medium Size Pic. in Product Info. Page?

Thanks for your reply Kobra, I re-install and triple-checked and it seems to be working now but after running the "Scan for old IH 0.x and 1.x original images", most of my product images at the homepage somehow disappeared.

I subsequently tried adding a product image using the IH2 Manager and discovered that all previously add additional images are still available since they appeared once I finished adding the main image for the product.

Is there anyway that I can mass insert all the products main image? TIA.

Each image needs to have a link to a product to display and be entered into the DB. Ome of the modules like ez-populate, might allow this and then you FTP the images in mass.. But even with it one must key the names in the correct places.

Re: How to Use Medium Size Pic. in Product Info. Page?

Looking at the image folder using a FTP program, I found that only the main product image is missing. For instance, I originally had 4 files loaded:

BK-15 FAR-101-3.jpg
BK-15 FAR-101-3_01.jpg
BK-15 FAR-101-3_02.jpg
BK-15 FAR-101-3_03.jpg

After running IH2, I am only left with:

BK-15 FAR-101-3_01.jpg
BK-15 FAR-101-3_02.jpg
BK-15 FAR-101-3_03.jpg

I suppose there is certain setting(s) which I may not have configured properly. Appreciate it if anyone wld shed some light on where I cld verify. TIA.

Having a custom template, is it necessary to copy the files in:

includes\templates\classic &
includes\templates\template_default?

Re: How to Use Medium Size Pic. in Product Info. Page?

Having a custom template, is it necessary to copy the files in:
There is complete explanations of this procedure in the FAQ'a and the wiki here on this site.

Bassic answer "NO", if using 1.3.5, you can base your "New" template from the "Classic" files or the template_default set of files. I suggest the template_default files. You only need to create a folder in the includes/templates/YOUR_NEW_TEMPLATE_NAME - and in that folder initially create folders for common, css, images, and templates.

Copy the css files to your new folder, and the template_info.php file that you will edit to name this template at the root of the template folder. You are ready to activate this template in the admin > tools > template selection > edit > select in the dropdown your template and update. Then to finish, admin > tools > layout box controler > scroll down and "reset". You are done.

Now if you had a logo & or other edits copy them, following the override system to their respective areas to allow Zen to find them as associated with this template.

You should only copy the files that you have edited to your template/override folders. Zen will look there first and if no custom file is found will use the default file instead.
