Image size hack for product pages

[brendanl79]

I was dissatisfied with the "Configuration --> Images" options. For some reason you are stuck with the "small" image size for pretty much every instance of your product image on the site. I wanted the ability to specify a separate image size for product information pages, so I set it up in the following way:

1) inserted two rows into the configuration table with new keys PRODUCT_PAGE_IMAGE_WIDTH and PRODUCT_PAGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT, configuration group 4, and altered the sort order values to place them directly below SMALL_IMAGE_*.

2) global substitution of "PRODUCT_PAGE_IMAGE_" for "SMALL_IMAGE_" in product_info.tpl.php and product_listing.php

If this work is redundant with another project and/or has some pitfalls I didn't think of, forgiveness and enlightenment would be appreciated. :)

This is the solution that I was looking for, but not working for me. I can't see the product page image input fields in configure -> image menu, and the size value doesn't get applied to product info page, original picture shows up on product info page now.

Does anybody have other suggestion beside this please let me know.

Thanks!.

---- Edit -----
My system had a hic-ups, restarting somehow fixed the issue...
Thanks for this hack. It helped me a lot on fixing things the way I wanted!!!

WHO WHEN WHAT WHERE HOW!
Is this in the sql file. A file in admin or otherwise...I need assistnace.

[ashelleydesign]

Pardon me while I talk to myself....

I figured it out. Using PHPADMIN I located the configuration table and "browsed" it. I found SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH & SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT.
I edited each with PRODUCT_IMAGE_* and SAVED AS a new row and set the sort to the SORT # following the SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT.

Just trying to help those who may be a BOOB NOOB like me.
Thanks, Angie

and for us that don't have phpMyadmin access??

I want to re-size the image in my shoppingcart, and only there..

PHP Code:

                       '    <td class="productListing-data" align="center"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products[$i]['image'], $products[$i]['name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a></td>' . 


isn't there a way to just change "SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT" to numbers??

And if not, can someone explain more step-by-step how to add a Shoppingcart_Image_width to the config, If you only have ftp access?

Thanks!

I don't think it is possible. Sorry about that. You should move your site to a hosting service that provides phpadmin access.

Give it a try.. just change the constants to numbers (you may need to put them in single quotes.

If you have ftp access, you can install PHPmyAdmin yourself. It's free open source. At least I was able to do it on a host I used to have that didn't have it, and it was fairly easy.

But like the other guy said, there are so many hosts that provide it these days with your hosting, why bother with a host that doesn't?

I did this and it works fine..

(SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT * '1.5')

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
            document.write('<a href="javascript:popupImage(\'<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id'] . '&type=' . $lg_image_ext); ?>\',\'<?php echo ((int)$image_size[1] + 30); ?>\',\'<?php echo ((int)$image_size[0] + 5); ?>\');"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), (SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH * '1.5'), (SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT * '1.5')); ?><br /><span class="smallText"><?php echo TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE; ?></span></a>');
//--></script>
<noscript>
            <a rel="nofollow" href="<?php echo tep_href_link($image_lg . '.' . $lg_image_ext); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], stripslashes($product_info['products_name']), (SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH * '1.5'), (SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT * '1.5')); ?><br /><span class="smallText"><?php echo TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE; ?></span></a>
