Changing Catagory Pic Size?

[Dive Right In Scuba]

IM new to this and wondering if someone can help me. In our catagory list, the pics are small and look distorted. I have all pics in my system at a 400x400 resolution, and these catagory pics just look horrible. Is there a way I can make them a bit bigger and they will look normal like the rest of the pics?

 

Here is a couple links:

Should I not use the same pic resolution of 400x400 or is this a code fix or something?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Hey Mike, iif you're using 2.2 you have 2 choices, you can either hardcode the height and width sizes in catalog/index.php

 

find

 

echo ' <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "\n";

 

and plug in your subcategory image widths and heights or...

 

easier for changes and without editing code...go to the admin panel and go to (on the left info boxes) configuration>images then edit Subcategory Image Width and Subcategory Image Height....you may need to set calculate image size to false but i have not tested this.

 

Hope this helps.

Awesome!! I just edited those sizes in the second part of what you suggested and it worked flawlessly!! I bet you can imagine those people surfing my sites surprise when I tested 400x400 on there :) Thanks again!!!
