hking_jkk Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm begging someone out there to help me. I've been through this forum dozens of times on several different occasions and am still at a loss. Thank you in advance to anyone who shares their expertise with me. I am one of the many who has problems with my thumbnail images. I've tried several of the contributions with no luck. I think my problem is the fact that I purchased a website template, so when I plug in the contributions code, it messes up the custom code that came with the template. As seen here... http://gtwoclothing.com/shop/index.php?cPath=62 I've got my thumbnails lined up accordingly. I tried to change the image configuration in the admin tool. I set them both to zero, which gave me great detail in my thumbnails, but made everything too large. Even when I changed the Small Image Width and left the Small Image Height alone, it still came out looking very unprofessional. Nothing was aligned and it just looked bad. What I'm trying to accomplish is this.... I'd like to have detailed thumbnails so that the customer can see what the article of clothing looks like without having to click twice more into the enlarged mode. I'd also like to keep my horizontal width at the length that it is already. And if at all possible, I'd like to load a new/different picture when I click on the "click to enlarge" text. Is any of this possible? Like I said, I have tried the resizing contributions and got nowhere...but that could be because I'm very new to php language and oscommerce. I can code the hell out of access basic, but that was years ago. Please....I'm desperate!!! Help!!! :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Really don't agree with this. I have double posted before and received replies to the second post but not the first. Sometimes double posting does work. It probably wastes more time when you reply to posts without any intension of helping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jef3966 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 If you use the image default size under the admin area, or whatever size you wish to have displayed, you have to address this with your actual grapic size. Open your graphic in a graphic editing tool, eg: Microsoft Office Picture Manager or equivalent. You want to maintain the direct proportion of the image size in relation to what you have set in the admin area. The picture DependentThumbnail.jpg on your website has a size of 180(width)x135(height). The default under the admin area is 100X80. The proportion of the picture is made to fit this 100x80 size. If you resized the picture, maintaining aspect ratio, the size would be 100x75. When this is display it stretches the image to fit the 100x80 thereby distorting your picture. To accomplish your requirement, you have to crop the original size image, 180x135, to obtain the aspect ratio. To figure this out, you can use simple algebra. In this case, 80 is to 135 (height), as 100 is to X (the new proportion). Multiply the the original height, in this case 135, times the 100 (default size of thumbnails in your shop), divide that by 80. This will give you 168.75 (round to 169) which is the new width you need. The 80 and the 100 are constant in the formula. Crop your picture evenly on each side to obtain the desired aspect ratio. If you have a good graphic editing software, you can accomplish this much easier with out calculation. A little confusing, but I hope it helps!

None have worked. Just disregard this post as I am going to try to fix this from a different angle. (post 1070225) Ironically, I'm having problems with that attempt as well. If anyone can help, I'd deeply appreciate it considering I am at my wits end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hking_jkk Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thank you, John. I will give this a try in conjunction to the other workaround I am attempting. Thank you for actually giving me some advice I can use!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
