Logic behind default Image size in OSC?


WorkingHard

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Loging to OSC admin and clicking on 'Configuration >> Images', following values appear:

 

Small Image Width 100

Small Image Height 80

Heading Image Width 57

Heading Image Height 40

Subcategory Image Width 100

Subcategory Image Height 57

Calculate Image Size true

Image Required true

 

I'm just wondering if there exist any logic behind those values and how common it is that those values are left untouched? In relation to this I'm also wondering which values are recommended for large images?

 

Thanks.

These are for your thumbs, however it is best to use only the height or the width on each but not both; otherwise you will get some very funny thumbs especially if you use a portrait (upright) pic.

 

Regarding large images - depending on what you are selling I wouldn't go much larger than 600px on the longest side (around 8" @72dpi)

My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0

I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 )

I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary

Hello,

Do you mean that it is not recommended to do as I want: fixed 100&100px and 450&450px for large images? Because I want nice cubes to hold images. Will images be distorted?

 

Cheers!

You can make the images any size you want, the question is how they/the page will look. Try different sizes to suit you. If it messages up the page or the image looks wrongly proportioned you'll have to change the size or change the page layout.

Currently using OsC with STS, Super Download Store, Categories Descriptons, Manufacturers Description, Individual Item Status, Infopages unlimited, Product Sort, Osplayer with flashmp3player, Product Tabs 2.1 with WebFx Tabpane and other bits and pieces including some I made myself. Many thanks to all whose contributions I have used!

You can do that if you upload square images. Preferably 450 x 450.

Any image that is not square in size will be distorted.
