Define Thumbnail Height, Not Width
 

Hello,
Is anyone aware of how to define the Thumbnail by Height and not width ?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Just edit product_thumbnail.tpl and hard-code the height in there.

I have had a look at product_thumbnail.tpl and I made the following changes:

Original File:

{* $Id: product_thumbnail.tpl,v 1.14 2004/06/24 09:53:29 max Exp $ *}
{if $config.Appearance.show_thumbnails eq "Y"}<IMG id="{$id}" src="{if $tmbn_url}{$tmbn_url}{else}{if $full_url}{$http_location}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}{/if}/image.php?productid={$productid}{if $file_upload_data.file_path}&tmp=y{/if}{/if}"{if $image_x ne 0} width="{$image_x}"{/if}{if $image_y ne 0} height="{$image_y}"{/if} alt="{$product|escape}" border="0">{/if}

Modified File:

{* $Id: product_thumbnail.tpl,v 1.14 2004/06/24 09:53:29 max Exp $ *}
{if $config.Appearance.show_thumbnails eq "Y"}<IMG id="{$id}" src="{if $tmbn_url}{$tmbn_url}{else}{if $full_url}{$http_location}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}{/if}/image.php?productid={$productid}{if $file_upload_data.file_path}&tmp=y{/if}{/if}"{if $image_x ne 0} height="{$image_x}"{/if}{if $image_y ne 0} width="{$image_y}"{/if} alt="{$product|escape}" border="0">{/if}

You will notice in the modified file I have changed width="{$image_x}" to height="{$image_x}" and height="{$image_y}" to width="{$image_y}"

This did change the thumbnail height based on the width setting in the 'Appearance Options' however this resizes the thumb image in the product description which was not the case before.

Does anyone know how to modify the script so that only the thumb images are re sized in the directory listings etc and not in the product description ?

I find it strange that the thumb image in the product description is re sized after I make this change as it was not re sized with the original script.

Any assistance appreciated.

Anyone got an answer to James' question? I could definately use this particular fix as the thumbnails our company provides us with are varried in size and some of them are far longer than they are wide and being able to set the height instead of width would fix the issue completely.

Thanks!

Hi,

I ended up obtaining a custom image resize modification from Qualiteam which also ensures that the image does not appear jagged or degraded in quality.

The modification basically creates a new thumb nail and detailed image and resizes them to specification. I think it uses GDLib on apache.

I am sure that there will be other mods out there that do something similar.

Open file skin1/customer/main/products.tpl (products_t.tpl) and find next line:

for products.tpl

for products_t.tpl



change this line by this:

image_y=250 (fixed height for thumbnail)

for products.tpl

for products_t.tpl


ps. File " product_thumbnail.tp" does not need to change!!!!
