How To Manual Override "Individual" Product Thumbnail Sizes

Post by Katella » Fri Aug 27, 2010 8:53 pm

I have recently upgraded from 5.5 to 7.0. I like the new 7.0 feature to auto adjust sizes and will use going forward. However, I have hundreds of images that were set with the "Thumbnail Params" in 5.0 which "masked the size" of the images when a size (for example) or 125 x 125 was entered for product image that was 500 x 500. In the migration to 7.0 these all came across without the mask and appear as a 500 x 500 thumbnails. Many of the older images are not named the same as the sku - so the resizing tool does not work. I am looking for a place in 7.0 like the "Thumbnail Param" from 5.0 that will allow for an override of individual product thumbnails from my legacy 5.0 site. My 5.0 website was built over many years - and images are scattered in a number of files with numerious naming methods. I know that is possible to create and upload new thumbnails - but I am trying to find a way to simply adjust the thumbnail size on the existing products in 7.0. Am I missing the location of this option on 7.0 and if it does not exist does anyone have a quick fix on how to change hundreds of images with various naming conventions in multiple files. Thanks

The best place to do it would probably be in the style sheet.

Thanks,

I will definately look at that as the option for the bulk change...

In addition, because of the nature my products, I have several items that require veritcal iamges for example 250w x 500h. The default "square size" I have set for the store distorts these vertical products. The 500 x 500 size has them out of balance. The "advanced Image Options" tab on the product page does not seem to have a place to enter the image sizes to adjust the default specific standard images, thumbnails, or icons when I want them to be different from the default.

Where do I go on the product page to override a specific size on an individual item when I want it to be different from the default sitewide size.

You can specify image sizes at Administration > Website > Logo and Images.
