    Default Shopping Cart Photos

    We are currently using version 7.1.1 where we have a problem getting images to show in the shopping cart (appconfig is properly configured). The problem may stem from the fact we use a rectangular image (150x250px) larger than the cart's 125x125 px image. We are moving to version 8.0 and I hope that the problem would be solved, however, it still exists. Here are my questions:

    1. Is the automatic image resizer suppose to resize images for 125x125 icon images (the ones used in the shopping cart).?
    2. Should the cart photo be using the product icon image?


    Thanks for any answers you can provide.

    First, you'll need to set up your AppConfig parameters for image sizes accordingly, then upload those images again in order for the store to update the sizes of the presently stored images.

    The shopping cart image does not seem to use the default product pic if there is no variant pic uploaded. The code looks like it should grab the product pic, but the NO IMAGE image is showing. Do you know of any reason why its not grabbing the product pic by default?

    Are the multi-icon/medium/large images required? (the one that allows up to 10)
    Is a variant icon pic required?

    We have a few hundred images for our products, one each for icon, medium, and large, is there any y to automate or run a script to "update" the images to the AutoResize?

    Well, that would depend on the XML package you're using. If you're using product.SimpleProduct.xml.config, then the variant will use the Product image, because the variant and the product itself will be taking as one. But if you're using product.VariantsInGrid.xml.config for instance, then the product image and variant image will take their respective images. Changing the AppConfig parameters for image resizing or running a script won't do because the file itself is not being stored on a database but is created during the Image upload on Admin panel.

    Even in the ShoppingCart.aspx the product.SimpleProduct.xml.config controls what image is shown?
