ImageHandler2 + image hover size?

Hi,

I've searched for a while and haven't found an answer so here goes... I've successfully installed ImageHandler2 and love it. It makes adding additional photos much easier but I want to be able to make the 'hover' image larger if possible.

I love the effect and so does the guy I'm making the site for but he wants them to be around 150px wide if possible?

If not I'll just have to disable the effect and make the thumbs themselves 150px wide and that might look dorky.

Thanks for any input.

Have you tried toying with the settings in the admin under configuration->images?

Hi,

Yes but the ImageHandler attributes only give me the option to 'zoom small images' and not control the dimensions (unless I'm a pollock and missing something which is possible). I thought maybe there was something in the code I could fudge?

I thought of that after I posted. I'm not sure about the sizing. :blink: I'll take another peek and see if I can spot anything.

There's some documentation at http://breakmyzencart.com/ih-doc#image_handler_2.0, but it isn't very clear to me. Maybe someone on the forum can clarify.

I'm pretty sure it's possible because I've run across sites that show the hover image much larger. I can just disable it and make the thumbs larger if no one knows how. Thanks for looking into it :)

I believe the hover image size will be the SAME size as the image in product info page. You can set it in confguration->images->Product Info - Image Width

I thought that's what the online documentation was trying to say, but it wasn't clear to me.

Yes that works. I had to monkey with some of the other image sizes to get the desired effect but it's do-able. Thanks everyone :)

So what exactly did you do? I have uploaded all new images at 3 different sizes and I wanted the hover image to be approx 225X225 which is half of the large size and still cannot get it to show the 225X225 just the 80x100 size

With IH you only upload "1" image so in your case you upload the largest image (550x550). If you put any images in the MED and LRG folders you have turned off IH for those images.
