Title: Size of images Virtuemart 2.0.8.
Post by: Slixis on July 26, 2012, 18:36:34 PM
Hi,
The size of my images are small.
See here: http://www.afrikstore.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=12&virtuemart_category_id=4&Itemid=440
I want to have a size equivalent to that of the virtuemart demo.
See here: http://demo.virtuemart.net/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=11&flypage=flypage_default.tpl&product_id=34&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=12

How can I do this.

Thank's for your help.

Hi Slixis,

Using Firebug to inspect the images I've noticed that the demo site uses the original image on the product display page, where as you are using the product thumbnail for yours.

It might be a case to turning off the automatic image resizing or simply changing the dimensions of the thumbnails.

I hope this helps.

Slixis asked for a larger image, not a zoom feature.  Zoomed (enlarged) thumbnails usually look pretty ugly)  :)
The problem might be a misconfigured path in 'Configuration' - 'Templates' as the the image shown is loaded from the 'resized' image folder instead of the product image folder.
Also, like Ivus recomended, use Firebug to locate the line (probably in vmsite-ltr.css) which scales down the category images.
