Thumbnail creation

[spottedhaggis]

I made the mistake of uploading the images in their original size during the adding of the 200 or so products, and now realise I should have used a thumbnail package.

 

I have manually created the thumbnails, and would like to know how and where I can alter the path so that the thumbnail image is displayed, and when clicked the original image is displayed?

 

Can anyone help me with this.

1. Make a folder called thumbs inside the imagefolder

2. Upload your new thumbnails

3. Edit the image paths in all the files where thumbnails is shown.

 

Like this: (From products_new.php)

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'thumbs/' . $products_new['products_image'],

This is now what I have in Products_new file, but it still loads the entire image as a small version in the system?

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'thumbs/' . $new_products['products_image']) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])));

products_new.php (Catalog folder)

 

           <td width="<?php echo SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH + 10; ?>" valign="top" class="main"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products_new['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'thumbs/' . $products_new['products_image'], $products_new['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a>'; ?></td>

When you have done the code change, go to http://www.dragonfly-dreams.net/products_new.php to see it in effect

 

If everything is working as its supposed to, then next you will have to edit all the other .php files which shows thumbnails.

You can also do it the other way around, then you only have to edit 1 file , products_info.php .

 

Move all the main product pictures into a new folder name..lets say, big , then put all the thumbnails in your main image folder.

 

Change the pop-up picture path in products_info.php to get the image from the big folder.
