Hi Guys,

This might be a minor onefor most people, but forme it proving to be a royal pain

The thumbnail is created and then used by both the showlistings.tpl and viewlisting.tpl the problem is I need a slightly smaller thumb for showlistings.tpl and have more room for a larger version in viewlistings.tpl.

I could edit the settings to manually shrink an image further on the showlistings.tpl file so width="?px" but this would be massively resource intensive.
On the same token I could increase the size for the viewlisting.tpl but this then makes the picture look fuzzy

So my question is has anyone else got a suggestion as to how I may achieve 2 slightly differnt sized thumbs, but without altering the core files or anything of 68c

Many thanks,

What are you talking about - "massively resource intensive". Just scale them in showlistings.tpl by setting a width and height which is smaller than the sizes already set. The only things which tend to be resource intensive are making unnecessary queries or silly ones on the database or running masses of javascript which manipulates extremely large images in strange ways. Scaling a few thumbnails is not resource intensive.

Oh right,

I would have though that by scaling the image down to a set size x 10 or 15 etc (depending on the setting) would increase the time required to load the page and putting an unneccesary load on the server

Setting this in the HTML would have absolutely nothing to do with the server. This is handled by the viewers computer and the browsers rendering engine. Just like javascript, it is handled by the viewers computer as neither of these items are a server process/script.

so would the following work?
<img src="http://www.68classifieds.com/forums/templates-html-css-design-help/..." style="max-width: 100px; max-height: 100px;" /> in order to keep a nice looking image instead of a squished one?
