Is there a way to show proportional image rather than square thumb in fancies

[Jane]

I sell books and I’d really like the fancy displays to show the actual image, which is the whole cover, rather than a thumbnail. Is there a way to stop the resizing process and just have it display the image I put in on the product data screen?

I mean I can “panel” the image with the BG color, but that still “seams” on the edges.

Thanks!

Hi,

One easy alternative which doesn’t require messing with any code is to create a page with your desired image and information and then simply use the Add to Cart or Buy Now button shortcode.

Thanks, Peter. That’s actually what I’ve done just today. I’m becoming great friends with a plugin called wp-table reloaded which lets you set up a table format and insert it into a post very much like estore’s fancies. Problem was, I’m using Atahualpa which plays hob with tables. Fortunately, we’ve got that sorted out now (see below).

I have done some modification of eStore’s CSS for this remount of the store, and if there’s a wish list somewhere, I’d sure love to see something built in to save CSS modifications.(such as wp-table has, not to mention Constructor and Atahualpa)

I don’t know how they do it…perhaps a user CSS file that overrides the defaults that come in with an upgrade? I mean, I’m keeping note of all the changes and will just input them with the next upgrade, but if eStore had something built into the setup that is a user CSS input option that didn’t get lost with an upgrade…that w/b seriously cool.

Anyway…thanks again!

eStore comes with a custom CSS file called “wp_eStore_custom_style.css”. You can put all your custom CSS there so during the upgrade you can only take a backup of that file and then put it back in after the update. We never add any content to that file so that file will always contain only your custom CSS changes.

Gee…I never spotted that. Duh. I’ll go check it out. Thanks!
