[Plugin: WP E-commerce] Main product page category image size (6 posts)

    Here is my problem.
    I have started an E-commerce site using the WP E-Commerce plugin. I have created categories, products, the whole she-bang and to this point I believe done well in editing the CSS/PHP coding, since I'm not really a web-coder.
    The only issue I am having is that on my main Shop page here:
    http://frenzified.com/?page_id=3

    As it currently is, the category images are coming in at 32x32.
    I would like them to be bigger, say 100x100 so I can use the images as the main links. (I have added text just so people know what the heck it is). When you click on the individual categories, it brings you to that category page, and those sizes are fine. It is ONLY the main shop page that is having issues.
    I am wondering if:
    A) if there a place to change this, since if you see the source code for the page, you can find where it is saying 32x32 size, but I have NO CLUE where to find it (and I've been searching) in the CSS or PHP pages.
    B) if it has to do with what version WP I have: 2.8.6 (I'm so paranoid I'm gonna lose the entire site if I upgrade- already lost everything when I tried to move it all to a new url.)
    C) if this is WP E-commerce trying to make it so I buy Grid View from them. (aka. if the only way to get this fixed is to purchase grid view gold cart).

    I have tried changing the size in the Products>Settings>Presentation> Thumbnail settings. Also tried changing them in Products>Categories and altering their individual size of the group image and the thumbnail size at the bottom of each Category, where is says:"Presentation Settings
    To over-ride the presentation settings for this group you can enter in your prefered settings here"
    And none of these have changed it at all (only changes things on the individual category pages) not the main Shop page.

    So if some can let me know if this can be fixed with coding, etc. or if it only can be fixed with buying Grid View, it would be very helpful to me. Thanks!

    Also, just to note, I don't need the latest products fixed in the sidebar, that one is fine. It is only what is on the main portion of the page- (within the white area). Just to clarify.
    If there is someone out there that can help me, PLEASE help me! It is the only thing I am having a major issue with!

    I am also having this same problem.

    I'm also using the same layout as you.

    I'm just getting funky sizing - 45pixels by 25 pixels

    So hopefully someone can/will respond with some much appreciated help.

    Buying grid view doesn't fix it, unfortunately.

    I've gone through files and found many instances of size settings such as:

    <?php wpsc_print_category_image(45, 45); ?>
    <?php wpsc_print_category_image(45, 25); ?>
    <?php wpsc_print_category_image(32, 32); ?>

    And I've tried changing them all to 150, 150 (my desired thumbnail size) and nothing ever changes. I also have seen many support requests on the developer's site for a fix, and have yet to find a solution.

    I finally figured it out.

    There are two sets of theme files for the plugin. One set is located in /wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/themes/ where I was editign files to no avail.

    The other is in /wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/ and when I located my selected theme folder and began editing the thumbnail settings there (as noted above, the lines look like <?php wpsc_print_category_image(45, 45); ?>), it miraculously and FINALLY changed my thumbnail sizes.

    The file you edit will depend on where you want to change the sizes, but a little poking around and it's pretty self-explanatory. Look at cart_widget.php, category_widget.php, grid_view.php, products_page.php or list_view.php, depending on what you want to change.

    You can just go into the settings ( Store -> Settings -> Presentation )Under the heading Thumbnail Settings, you can set all the default sizes...
