Can I make'em smaller than 400 X 300?

Hi,

At the moment auctiva has 2 sizes for click to enlarge pictures using thier image tags.

There is the large 400 x 300 (which you are now using) and they just made another smaller thumbnail size 96pix tag.

Go to the Blue listing tab and look for the MANAGE section.

From there click on CREATE FROM EXISTING.

Scroll down the page and you will see all of auctiva templates. Choose the one you want and click "create" now it will open up and show you all the html coding for the template.

On the left you will see all the tags you can insert to custom your template.

look inside the html coding for [description] or [image] etc and replace these {} with your own selection from the left - ie [image1][image2} .....


DO NOT CLICK ON DESIGN VIEW IT SCREWS UP THE HTML CODING. REMEMBER TO SAVE THE NEW TEMPLATE. AND BEFORE YOU SAVE IT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ASIGNED THE CORRECT IMAGE SIZE. For example for smaller thumbnails pick the 96 x 96 image tag from the drop down box under "choose image type"

Hope this makes sense ? its hard to try and explain it like this.

If you have a template already made paste it into the practice link and
I will look at it for you and see if I can set it up for you.

here is the practice link page.

paste your template into it, hit "see html" your template will show up. Then copy the number below the box and paste it back into this forum.

Thank you for your answer to my post. It is awesome that people will volunteer their time to help strangers.

If I read your post correctly, the answer to my question is NO. I cannot have a 350 px wide image that is clickable through Auctiva. I guess I will try to write the code to do this myself.

Here is the mess that I posted to the practice board:

I include this link because you requested it, but it seems that pursuing this avenue will be a dead-end if custom-size clickable images aren't allowed.

Thanks again for your kindness.

You can create your own images in whatever size you want by using the [IMAGE1_URL] tags. This will give you the URL for the original sized image, then you can set its size.. for example:

<a href="[IMAGE1_URL]" target="_blank">
<img src="[IMAGE1_URL]" width="350px"></a>

The only problem with this is if you have really big images, basically the viewer of your auction has to download the entire image, then it gets resized to 350px. This would be slower than using one of Auctiva's pre-sized images, but at least you would have the look you want.
