Separet thumbnail image uploads
 

WOW I'm surprised there is not more on this.


If I upload my detailed image for my thumbnail I get just what I want in my details page. A nice image of my product. I don't have to add that detailed image in a new box under my actual details. (thats what I don't want to do). And then my thumbnail gets scaled down and looks like it went through a pixel grinder.

If I upload my thumbnail as you should by default I get just what I want for my Thumb. A nice thumbnail image. But when you click on see details I get this small 50X50 thumbnail image next to my description. (thats what I don't want to see)


I am new to E-comers and this is my first shopping cart of any kind. I have no other experience with any other carts or code. Yet I find this to be odd. It just makes no sense to me. This mod that Deonya Has provided is perfect for what I want to achieve though I have some small discrepancies.

I would like to see my image at the top left my price and options, variants, quantity, and buy now button at the top right and my description following under that.

Is there any one that can help.
I really Feel that X-carts default on this subject is a little odd but thats coming from inexperienced new-be.

This is the mod that I'm refuring to by Deonya. It is from Custom mods and templats. They ask for no request at the top of the forum so I'm reposting this here._________________________________________

THANKS to anyone that has the time to help.

While I agree the thumbnail can look bad if scaled way down (like from 200px to 50px) it is not as bad if the sizes of the thumbnail on the products page and the product detail page are closer (say within 25 or 50px of eachother). The solution if you have a large difference is of course just as the mod shows.

To move the description under the rest of the details, simply edit product.tpl, cut and paste this chunk of code where you want it to appear:


And for future reference, you don't need to post the whole mod, a link will suffice :)

I did that but unfortunately the description is still scrunched to the right.

You will probably need to create a new row in the table so that the description will run the whole width of the table (under the image).

How do I add a new row.
I'm not to familiar with code.

I will say I've been here for only a week or two and I have accomplished every thing I wanted to accomplish thus far.
It's only because of people like you that take the time to help out.

THANKS allot.

PM me with your product.tpl code and I'll help you out with it....

Thanks :D
