2.3.4 fails to generate thumbnails

[Christiane N]

Hello Forum,

 

After installing osCommerce 2.3.4 everything worked fine until I deleted the sample products that were listed.

 

Now the product pages don't create/generate thumbnails anymore. Is there a solution? I couldn't find anything in the forum or by googling.

 

May I ask if someone kindly takes a look?

Hi,

 

if you want smaller preview images, change the value here:

 

$('#piGal').photosetGrid({

    layout: '<?php echo $photoset_layout; ?>',

    width: '250px',

    highresLinks: true,

   ............

... and if you want to configure the images size from the admin as used from earlier osc versions you may replace the above mentioned code in product_info by:

 

  $('#piGal').photosetGrid({
    layout: '<?php echo $photoset_layout; ?>',
    width: '<?php echo SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH . 'px';?>',
    highresLinks: true,

Try adding another large image to the product.

Gentlemen,

 

Thank you very much for the helpful replies.

 

Now I understand that there will be one larger and several smaller preview images a soon as I add more than two photos.

But as long as I add only 1 to 2 photos, there will be one or two preview images of the size I defined in product_info.php.

 

You all have a good evening.

 

Best regards,

Christiane

Gentlemen,

 

Sorry to bother you again, but the pictures still don't look good to me.

The small pics below the larger top one look like they were glued to it. Nonetheless, they don't look like they did in the sample products.

Do you have any ideas?

 

Please refer to attached file as to how what they should look like (in my opinion) o:)

.css

 

What they -should- look like is a matter of personal taste, so style the layout in the way you desire using .css.  There are 1000s of such tutorials available to you.

Hi,

 

it looks different because the sample pictures have white borders - yours have not. :rolleyes:

You may enforce a gap between your pictures by adding this to the code:

 

  $('#piGal').photosetGrid({
    layout: '<?php echo $photoset_layout; ?>',
    width: '250px',
    gutter: '5px',  ///or any other appropriate value
    ......

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Please allow me to apologize for my ignorance. Obviously I wasn't capable to even find the first 1000 of the tutorials that are available.

 

Best regards,
