[Resolved] Where is master_image size set?

[Dirty Butter]

I'm using a piece of code added to products.index.php that BSMITHER helped me with many versions ago. It adds the master_image to the image tab of the Admin Product Listing.

  	  <!-- MY MASTER IMAGE -->
         <div class="master_image">
            {$LANG.catalogue.image_main}:<br><br>
            <img src="{$PRODUCT.master_image}">
	  <br><br>

	  {$PRODUCT.master_image}
	  <!-- END MY MASTER IMAGE -->

My uploaded images are 600, which is large in the skin config.xml.

But the "MASTER" image is 200px, and the image name is always in the format

xxx/images/cache/XLDalmatianDogComfy.200.JPG

Is there something I can add to config.xml, so the master_image will be the original sharp 600?

What version of CC6 did you implement this, and what version are running on now?

I ask because this "master_image" is incorporated in CC608 (I didn't check any earlier).

In /admin/sources/products.index.inc.php, near line 1180, there is:

$master_image = isset($_GET['product_id']) ? $GLOBALS['gui']->getProductImage((int)$_GET['product_id']) : '';
$result[0]['master_image'] =  !empty($master_image) ? $master_image : 'images/general/px.gif';

GUI->getProductImage() defaults to fetching the "small" size, which apparently is 200px on the longest side.

We can duplicate this to get the "large" size (600px?):

Add after:

$large_image = isset($_GET['product_id']) ? $GLOBALS['gui']->getProductImage((int)$_GET['product_id'], "large") : '';
$result[0]['large_image'] =  !empty($large_image) ? $large_image : 'images/general/px.gif';

Then, in the template, change {$PRODUCT.master_image} to {$PRODUCT.large_image}.

Now, if XLDalmatianDogComfy.600.JPG isn't crisp and sharp enough, we can try to add the URL that points to the actual source image.

And I hope you have enough screen real estate to show a 600px image.

I have copies of that Master Image code going all the way back to 6.0.2 - didn't look further back. And I really remember you helping me with it originally. CC must have picked up the code.

Anyway, the source images are 600px wide, so your new code does give a crisp image with the detail I often need to easily distinguish one plush from another similar one.

As for screen real estate, I moved the whole Master Image code section in products.index.php to ABOVE the Filemanager box. That way it fits well on my Kindle in landscape and certainly not a problem on my computer.

THANK YOU!
