I figure the easiest way to do this is to just switch out the images in the /media/com_hikashop/upload/ folder. The trouble is, I want to just swap out one image. Not that one image and all its thumbnail sizes. I've figured out I'll need to change the show_block_img view to pull the non-thumbnail version of the photo and set the image height and width in the inline styles. I just can't figure out which piece of code I need to change.

The trouble is, I...")* All these variants have the same image: image missing http://www.masseffectmedia.com/Images/Variants.png Instead of going into each one in the system, I'd like to just swap out the image file in the folder. The problem is, the thumbnail is pulled from **/media/com\_hikashop/upload/thumbnail\_200x200/** and the squeeze box image is pulled from **/media/com\_hikashop/upload/**. image missing http://www.masseffectmedia.com/Images/thumbnail.jpgimage missing http://www.masseffectmedia.com/Images/product.jpg I don't want to have to change out the image file in two locations. So instead I thought I would code the system to pull both images from **/media/com\_hikashop/upload/** and just style the thumbnail to the correct height and width. I think I need to change the code in the **show\_block\_img** view to do this but I don't know how. I think it might be something in this line though: Code: <?php echo $this->image->display(@$image->file_path,true,@$image->file_name,'id="hikashop_main_image'.$variant_name.'" style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle"','id="hikashop_main_image_link"', $width, $height); if(!empty($this->element->badges)) $this->classbadge->placeBadges($this->image, $this->element->badges, '0', '0'); ?> Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84Njc4OTktY2hhbmdlLWltYWdlcy10aHJvdWdoLWZpbGUtbWFuYWdlcj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86358 - Thank you received: 14293 - - 12 years 6 months ago [\#154619](#154619) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Change images through file manager](/forum/26-product-category-display/867899-change-images-through-file-manager#154619 "I have numerous variables that need a related pictured swapped out.

So that in that image.php file that you would need to change the code in order to not use the thumbnails but directly the main page.

There is controllers, fields, params, and views and the files are hikashop.php, index.html, router.php, self_ext.php. **Edit**: Never mind, I don't know where I was looking but I found it. Maybe I needed to refresh my view. Last edit: 12 years 6 months ago by [Lutya](/forum/user/23439-lutya "View Lutya's Profile").
