How to Change Image Size of SUBcategories ?

[CarriedAwayCrafts]

Greetings,

 

How do I change the image size of the subcategories from the medium (80px × 80px) to something larger and easier to view? Here is what I have tried so far, based on information that I found at other posts on this forum:

• I created a new picture type called "SubCat" under preferences>Images
  
• I Regenerated thumbnails
  
• I went to my server and changed the category.tpl file, wherever there was an entry that said 'medium' in association to 'Subcategories,' I changed the value to 'SubCat.'
  

Nothing changed. I even cleared my browser caches and tried on IE, Firefox, and Google Chrome.

 

Still- Nothing changed (so I changed everything back to the original values)

 

Here is the example of the problem: http://www.carriedaw.../5-bath-fizzies

 

Can someone please help me?

I'm thinking you didn't change Preferences/Performance to Force Compile - Yes, Cache - No, reload a page and then change it back. You have to do that every time you change a .tpl file. Your procedures are identical to what I did on my site; worked fine after the site compiled. You'll also have to change the new image size in category.css.

I think you didn't change the variables that begins with $, just after the size 'name'. Examle:

 

<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" class="product_img_link" title="{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home')}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($homeSize)} width="{$homeSize.width}" height="{$homeSize.height}"{/if} /></a>

 

Change $homeSize to $SubCatSize and would see it works.

Update: My solution was to start using the NEW default template for prestashop (available HERE). It would seem that the problem has been addressed (fixed) in the new template (which, I personally like much better than the old template) ... thanks developers

 

Hope this helps others,

Tony
