Making pictures bigger

Making pictures bigger

Hi, is there anyway to make the pictures on the detail page bigger? Or is there a way (hopefully somewhat easy or something I can understand) to setup on the detail page that allows users to click on the picture (on the detail page) and open up a bigger version of it or enlarge it? Thank you very much.

In your product insert and update pages in the admin area there are these two lines of code:

php:
'ResizeWidth' => "400",

    'ResizeHeight' => "400",



You can make these values larger to increase the size of the image you see on the details page. If you make these adjustments though you may need to edit the css on the details page to accommodate your lareger image size.

Thank you. So as far as the pictures being uploaded they should be 400x400 to look the best on the site? What about some sort of code or something to allow users to click on the image (on the details page) to open up maybe a pop-up window for a bigger version? Like ebay or amazon.
Thanks again

To get the larger image to open when you click on the smaller one is possible but it would require some customization of the PowerStore that may not be very easy.

You first need to use Digital File Pro to alter the image upload to add another on step two, give it a name and have no resizing done.

Next you would want to update your db to add another column where you can store this image name. After you do that you would need to update the insert and update DataAssist server behaviors to record this new image value.

Once that was done you would then be able to modify your details page with either some js or adding a link around the image to go to another page with the large image. You would also need to use the recordset binding from your db for the file name in this link.

So this is possible but it would require a little bit of work and use of a couple WA tools to accomplish. If you are not comfortably with making changes like this it is probably not the best solution.
