Set custom size for featured ads

[breda]

HI,
I would like to have a custom size for the thumbnail images used on featured ads. I know the size of the thumbnails are set on the admin but I'd like those used on featured ads to be smaller. Is there somewhere I can edit the featured ads image template and over ride the defualt size?
Thanks,
Breda

Hi,

Do you mean on the front page or in the results file after searching?

HI Eric,
I'm using the featured ads on the home page and on the catagory.php page and the size is set at 110pixels by 83pixels which is fine. What I want to do is set the thumbnail size in the admin to a bigger size but leave the featured ads as they are. I thought if I could find the code that pulls in the image then I could put in my own size to keep them smaller than the default size.
Regards,
Breda

The problem is to generate TWO different thumbs, I guess.

If you can, nice. If you cannot, there is the way to HTML resize the thumbs in one of your templates. There will be a low quality display but it's easy.

Note that you cannot guarantee that all you thumbs will be 110x83 because all the pics does not have the same HxL ratio ... or you will modify this ratio, but the result will be ... strange My Nikon D40 make 6Mpix pics in 3008x2000. Resizing them in 110 width will never give 83 height but only 73 ...

Try this, I think it should work but I cant say 100%

In the featured listing code, where the <img src="">

add

<img src="" class="featured_image">

Then in your css sheet you should be able to write

img.featured_image{height: ##px; width:##px;

As the images could vary in size you can use %

img.featured_image{height: ##%; width:##%;

Hopefully that will work

Hi,
Yes that is what I'm trying to do but I can't find the bit where the image is brough in.
On the code that brings in the featured ad it has:
{feature_listings_vertical number=11 show_price='N' cols=1
table_attr='width="120" style="border: 1px solid #D3D1D1;" align="center"'
td_attr='valign="top" align="center"'}

I can't find where the attributes of feature_listings_vertical are set as it must be in there the img src tag is?
Thanks,
Breda
