Ultrapics and Product Thumbnails

[sharksalive]

Hi there

 

I have a MS2 shop using UltraPics - MS2 Image Addon Pack and when I try to display thumbnails proportionally (by only using a width or height in the image config settings) the image displays at full size in the Admin Product listing. The image displays correctly everywhere else just not in the Admin area.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

 

I really appreciate any advice.

 

Many thanks

That's normal on the admin side since there's no code to constrain the pics.

Thanks so much for your reply Iggy.

 

Do you think this could be changed? I have clients who want to keep the thumbnails in proportion but don't want to have to wait for the full size picture to load in the admin section.

 

Do you know which file controls the size on the image in the Admin section?

 

Many thanks for your help!

 

Cheers

Sure. You can just add a width tag to each entry. You're still going to see each image so load times will be the same but it won't be so big.

 

In /admin/categories.php find this around line 1397 (at least it's 1397 for me)

just add a width="whatever size you want" behind vspace="5" for each entry. So you'll end up with lines that look like

<?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $products_image_sm_6_name, $pInfo->products_name, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'align="center" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="200"') . '<br>'; ?>

 

If you want to save load time you can just delete these display lines as well and not show any combination of pics you want.

 

You can apply that anywhere in the admin you'd like where a specific size hasn't been specified. Xsell for example is probably a good place to do that if you have it installed.

 

HTH,

Oh, just to specify, the lines above are for the preview portion of adding or modding a product but you can do the same thing throughout the admin where UP is displaying the extra images.
