34Ford Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yours may be different than mine since your using a different skin. But I can go to General Settings and down so far the page you can set the thumbnail size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 If the skin doesn't deviate too much from a stock skin, look in: \skins\milano_blue\styleTemplates\content\viewCat.tpl We're looking for something close to this: <tr> <td align="center" class="{CLASS}"><a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" target="_self"><img src="{SRC_PROD_THUMB}" alt="{TXT_TITLE}" border="0" title="{TXT_TITLE}" /></a></td> It looks like your skin has a hard width set on the image size. I see that your thumb image sizes are all over the place: 250, 150, 75 px wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stfr Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 So what do you suggest? what should i do to change the size of thumbnail.Its really important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Sorry. Didn't realize you didn't make the leap. Do as I said before. Look for that file and the line in that file. To do that, obtain and learn to use a program called an FTP client. Several good ones. One even becomes part of Firefox. Use the FTP program to log in to your hosting site and find and retrieve that file I mentioned earlier. Then use any text editor (Notepad will do) to look for the line of code I mentioned earlier. That line of code will contain something like: width="75". You will need to change 75 to 150. Save the file and use the FTP program to put it in the same place where you found it before, over-writing the version that is there with this new version. So, when viewing your store after all that, your thumbnails will be twice as big as they were before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 There are some mods at www.cubecartforums.org that will let you bulk upload products. There's also a mod that will work through the images and recreate the thumbnails. Your pixelation is because some of the thumbnails are currently at 75 pixels wide, but you are forcing the browser to show them at 250 pixels wide. Not everyone will be using a browser that intelligently enlarges images. They just multiply each pixel to make the new size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stfr Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 thank you for your guidance. I know this would be very silly to ask you but i have no option. How that mod works? Do i have to buy it and how to implement that mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Please ask about the mods over at www.cubecartforums.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If the template is constructed for CC, there will be instructions on how to install it. I believe what you are looking at for OSC is not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
