Image size changes have no effect

  • After hours and hours of work, searching and testing with other very popular e-commerce plugin I finally gave up without having a single product shown on my website. Then I tried “Ready! Ecommerce Shopping Cart” plugin and found it working easily. You had even added a guide box to go to Settings > Permalinks and save settings in case when the plugin wasn’t working properly. It helped instantly. Thank you so much for everything! Impressing work.

    Now, the first problem I encountered with the plugin is with the image sizes. I am using a custom made WP theme, which I did by myself, but I think this may actually be a bug in the plugin so I figured I should write about it.

    I created a test product and uploaded a few images. Then I found out that the gallery’s big image was too wide and it dropped the Product Info div under it because it couldn’t fit along side with the image that size.

    I then had a look at the image size by editing the product, clicking “Manage Media Files” link and then “Show” next to the image. The Full image was checked (I probably checked it when I uploaded it earlier). I changed it to use “Product Big Image (400 × 301)” just for a test, clicked “Save all changes” and “Update” button on the product edit view. It didn’t change the image size on the product page. Next I went back to see if I missed something and noticed that none of the image sizes were checked.

    I don’t know how to fix this but I’ll try to work around it somehow with css until someone figures out what’s wrong with it and if it’s a common problem.

    When I look at the HTML with Firebug, I see that the big image size is printed out like this:

    .full_image_wrapper {
    border: 1px solid #E2E2E2;
    height: 300px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
}
.product_full_image {
    height: 300px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 100%;
}
.product_full_image img {
    max-height: 290px;
    max-width: 100%;
}

    If I change the max-width in “.product_full_image img” to 250px, for example, I think it will work fine (haven’t tried it out yet). But then the image size options becomes obsolete so this can be only a temporary solution.

    Another thing I would like to mention. If I change the gallery from left to right in Options Page > Product Views (on right side menu) > Single Product View > under the Product gallery settings, then the Product Info div is still float: right and not left.

    Hello.
    1. Images size options should be used before you upload your image for product image gallery. It used to re-size image by WP functionality. and there are also info box right near this option, wich says (sorry for caps, but this is really important):
    “DO NOT CHANGE THIS PARAMETER IF YOU HAVE ALREADY UPLOADED IMAGES TO PRODUCTS. ALL OLD IMAGES WILL NOT BE RESIZED. OR YOU CAN REUPLOAD OLD IMAGES. “
    2. Can you please provide me with link to example?

    Regards,
    Alexey.

    Sorry for the late answer.

    1. Nope, I think I didn’t touch the image size settings, atleast not AFTER uploading images. I know this because I read the info box warning.

    Now, I changed it and tafter changing I uploaded a few images. I set their language to english and chose the size “Product Big Image (300 × 225)”. There is still none of the size options chosen when I have a look at “Manage Media Files” popup and it puts out the following CSS:

    .product_full_image img {
    max-height: 290px;
    max-width: 100%;
}

    So it’s not because of resetting the dimensions. I can make it working by using my own CSS as I stated before until this issue is fixed.

    2. If I change it to “Right”, it still gives “.gallery_to_left” (not “.gallery_to_right”) style in HTML. This doesn’t matter to me as I’m going to use my gallery on left.

    I’m sending you an example page via the contact form on your website.

    so what’s the outcome of this situation??? I’m having a very similar problem. Thanks so much, great plugin
