Frontpage change image size

[robin466]

Hi Guys,

i have a question about the frontpage. right now i have two categories which have thier own sub categories. But i want those two top categories displayed big at the front page  with large images.
i know that if i change the thumpnail size at configuration -> Templates -> width height  the images size change but this also changes the size of the other categories witch i don't want to change.

so my question is how can i change the size of only those two category images?

VM version i am  using is : 3.0.16
Website i am talking about : http://www.rn-motoren.nl/index.php/webshop-1 but it's offline right now so if you want to take a look i will message you a account to log in to
PHP: 5.6
VM Template : Horme_3

Use a css override for those images.  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=116620.0

hi Jenkinhill,

i use firebug and i see the code  but with override you mean  rewrite  the code with the change i made.
Or just change code in the original file.


img{
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}


i changed it to

img{
  max-width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
}

didn't get the effect i wished for haha.  i propably do something wrong.
i am not a expert on thisbut have some experience so if someone could give me a lead i will be able to finish it

changing the image file did the trick in firebug but where to edit this  in VM.  do you guys have any suggestions ?

You template will use overrides for layout which you will find in templates/[your Horme template]/html/com_virtuemart/

As it is a commercial template you should ask Spyros on https://www.olympianthemes.com/forum.html  for specific help.

yeah but isn't the image size defined by Virtue mart ?

[GJC Web Design]

yes- but it is over-rideable at the template level
