Define thumbnail for large product images?

Hi all,

I would like to define thumbnails for large product images, so that all thumbnails are square and look neat together. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance !

I am not sure what you mean by thumbs for large images???

There are by default - 3 basic image sizes normal, medium , large. These can be set for size in admin > config > images

You could make these 100x100 or another size your prefer. You also need to insure that your images are square to make this "neat"

Re: Define thumbnail for large product images?

To make them absolutely uniform, I would suggest the use of Image Handler 2. View the results of what it can do at my site. I think you will like it.
Hover over my images, then click on a product, them click on the image that shows on the product page.
If you choose to use Image Handler 2, let me know, and I'll try to help you get it set up, as sometimes, it can be a pain in the butt. But, it's all worth it, in the long run.

Re: Define thumbnail for large product images?

Hi,

Sorry I didn't provide more details. Here is the setting for my product images...

Product Name :
iphone

Images :
iphone.jpg (200x200)
iphone1.jpg (200x200)
iphone1_LRG.jpg (640x480)
iphone2.jpg (200x200)
iphone2_LRG.jpg (640x480)

So, iphone.jpg is the main product image. iphone1.jpg and iphone2.jpg are the thumbnails that I wish to display on my product info page. iphone1_LRG.jpg and iphone2_LRG.jpg are the ones that show up in the pop ups (should NOT show up on product info page at all).

Right now, all images are showing up on my product info page, and it looks ugly because of the different proportions. How do I show only iphone1.jpg and iphone2.jpg but not the _LRG ones?

Thanks,
Shirley

Re: Define thumbnail for large product images?

Insure that these are in the proper folders:

In the /images - folder
iphone.jpg (200x200)
iphone1.jpg (200x200)
iphone2.jpg (200x200)

In the /images/large - folder
iphone1_LRG.jpg (640x480)
iphone2_LRG.jpg (640x480)

You should probably also have a iphone_LRG.jpg (640x480) image in the large folder
