Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_25877066Answer:As every theme is different there is not one concrete answer to this question... The pictograms takes the unused "other" layout child at default theme to be printed in catalog/product/view template. For instance, if your theme uses or removes this child then pictograms won't be printed
A workaround to this could be the following...
Locate your catalog.xml custom theme layout file & find the following code...
<block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml">
...
</block>
Then add the pictograms block wherever you want inside that tags with the following code
<block type="pictograms/pictograms" as="pictograms_product_view" template="pictograms/catalog/product/view/pictograms.phtml" />
After that, locate your catalog/product/view.phtml custom theme template file, and print the pictograms wherever you want with the following code
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('pictograms_product_view'); ?>
Hope this helpsbyraulsanchez-1 month, 1 week agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26415342hello
that extension is a nice idea. I have two issues though:
1. The thumbnails have to be uploaded? No autothumb (small image as you call it)? Images folder is writable.
2. Can I change the size of the appearance of the small image or larger image? They look so small to my websitebymailon-1 month agoAnswers

The module supports 2 different images for pictograms. That's because some people could want to have different images for each case. However, if you want you can upload the same image, as image & thumbnail (small image). It'll be automatically resized as thumbnail in the product list pages
If you want to adjust the image sizes you can edit manually the module related CSS file. You'll find it at <your Magento folder>skin/frontend/default/default/pictograms/css/skin.css

Instead of using MagentoConnect Uninstall method (which won't delete the 'pictograms' attribute, causing the error you're reporting), please use our Secure Uninstall button at System > Configurationbyraulsanchez-3 months ago1 of 11 of 1 - Get Help
