Magento

how can i just disable the zooming image on product detail page?

Has anyone found a solution to this? This is something I need to do as well.

This is what I did:  in the “template > catalog > product > view.phtml

See the highlighted part (includes the drawer on the right) in attached screen shot. Bascially you remove the code from line 35 to 46.

Just in case you may change your mind, better keep a original copy though

Click thumbnail to see full-size image

instead of deleting.. can i just comment it out. ??

Also, If the image zoom is gone, I believe we would also need to do something about the product image size…

these are just my notes so far about what to do with the ZOOM as well as the Pop-up.. I don’t like how the pop-up box is so much bigger than the image that is shown within.

This seems to be a bit different from what ‘chinesedream’ has done though… right? I haven’t done this yet.. this is just me playing around in FireBug first.

this doesn’t seem to be the right location, anybody have an update for this?

It’s in ’app\design\frontend\default\default\template\catalog\product\view\media.phtml‘, although you should copy that file to the same path in your theme, if you don’t know that.

I removed everything from line 28 to 44.

This is what I did to remove the image zoomer in 1.0.19870 and it has worked well so far

I found another instance today: ’app\design\frontend\default\default\template\review\product\detailed.phtml‘‘.  I applied exactly the same fix on it by removing the same code as in the other file (though it starts on a different line).  It’s identical code and I am surprised at the duplication.  It should be in the same file if it’s providing the same functionality.

OK, this kind of worked for me, I commented out

<!-- <div class="image-zoom" id="track_outer">
<img id="zoom_out" src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/slider_btn_zoom_out.gif') ?>” alt="<?php echo $this->__('Zoom Out') ?>” class="btn-zoom-out" />
<div id="track">
<div id="handle"></div>
</div>
<img id="zoom_in" src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('images/slider_btn_zoom_in.gif') ?>” alt="<?php echo $this->__('Zoom In') ?>” class="btn-zoom-in" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript\">
Event.observe(window, ‘load’, function() {
product_zoom = new Product.Zoom(’image’, ‘track’, ‘handle’, ‘zoom_in’, ‘zoom_out’);
});
</script> -->

because for some odd reason, mine was not 28-44.  Anyway, There are a few more changes I would like. 

I would like to show the full image in he main menu and not just a fixed dimension.  I followed the instructions above but it blows out the template.  I need the whole image to be resized into the existing box

This is how I did it in both files.  You’ll notice that there is an if-else construct that you have to take into account:

The second line from the end is where you set the image size (notice that it’s not commented out):

I’ve made mine 150.  I don’t remember what it was originally but that’s where you set it.  It does take a height as the second parameter but it doesn’t seem to resize proportionally.  I think I saw a plugin that may help but I haven’t had time to check it out.  Maybe the best way to do this is to resize the images before you upload them to make sure that they don’t exceed the ‘resize’ value above.

This extension is called “Direct Resize” and it’s working fine. It’s available in Magento Connect

Thank you guys, that was just useful.

Works out fine! Thanks guys

This resize seems to limit the longest side to the set size. I have images that are taller than wide and would like to just set the width and have the height resize automatically. Is that possible?
