Resolved - Size of Master Image in Admin Product Listing

[Dirty Butter]

I would like to have the full 600px image for the master image on the Image tab of the Admin product listing, but I can't find where that size is determined. By default it's 175.

I assume you are referring to the admin screen?

Yes, sorry. Original title and request have been revised, in case this can help someone else.

Starting with the admin skin template, products.index.php (about line 414), we see that $PRODUCT.master_image holds the reference to the image on the Image tab.

Then, in the admin source file, products.index.inc.php (about line 991), we see that Smarty assigns $result[0] to PRODUCT. Coincidentally, the two statements just above it are where the image is calculated and fetched.

In the GUI class, getProductImage(), we learn that the default $mode is 'small'. That's just the default and we don't really want to change that.

Going back to products.index.inc.php, we can override the default:

getProductImage((int)$_GET['product_id'], 'large')

This may cause the layout to change on the tab, so plan accordingly.

Thanks, Bsmither. I had actually tracked down that line of code, but didn't know how to accomplish it.

I have a wide screen laptop, so the large size works just fine on my screen - no scrolling.

This is very beneficial, as many of our toys look similar in small images - sometimes the only difference is a bow or the wording - HUGE differences to that little one who is in love with it! Now I won't have to go to the customer listing to double check before pulling from stock.
