Hello,

I want larger thumbnails in both the product article and the modules where it is displayed. I tried to achieve this in modules by specifying “230 (W) x 375 (H)” in “What’s New Here”.

I still got a very small thumbnail in the Slider Module (“What’s New Here”), as well as in the product article.

How does one resolve this?

Hi,
– You change Thumbnail Image Width and Thumbnail Image Height field of Component > VirtueMart > Adim > Configuration > Site > Layout
– replace this code from administratorcomponentscom_virtuemartclassesps_product.php file


$q = "SELECT product_id, product_name, product_parent_id, product_thumb_image FROM #__{vm}_product WHERE product_sku='$product_sku'";

with

$q = "SELECT product_id, product_name, product_parent_id, product_full_image FROM #__{vm}_product WHERE product_sku='$product_sku'";

replace

$tpl->set( 'product_thumb_image', $db->f("product_thumb_image"), "alt="".$db->f("product_name").""");

with


$tpl->set( 'product_thumb_image', $db->f("product_full_image"), "alt="".$db->f("product_name").""");

My error here khoand,

It turned out to be a cache issue. The default thumbnail WxH is 120×120. I thought, after I changed the settings for the thumbnails in the specifications, and cleared the cache, the thumbnail should change, but it did not.

After several tries with no success, and the codes you provided above, I was able to locate where the resized images were located. it turned out, the older smaller images were not cleared when the cache was cleared. I had to remove them manually and have to remove the original image also and start all over. That was the way to get the correct larger thumbnail images.

That’s correct khoand,

My first time to use the VirtueMart. Every time I changed the thumbnail sizes, new ones are produced but the old ones were not deleted, except when I did it manually.

Also, I found that the module dimensions have to be adjusted accordingly. I was using larger thumbnails, and they kept on merging. As it turned out, it was because the module dimensions were smaller than those of the thumbnail.
