Struggling to understand the product image sizes

Hi everybody,

I'm simply trying to re-create the product image sizes I am using on my current website. Here is an example of the listing
www.mybuff.com.au/index.php?page=shop.br..._virtuemart&Itemid=5
and here is the example of the product page
www.mybuff.com.au/index.php?page=shop.pr..._virtuemart&Itemid=5

It's very simple. Thumbnails for product listings have a width of 100 px and main images for product pages have a width of 230 px.
The height varies as the products are not uniform but it is also a few pixel up and down.

On my new (test) website I have gone a slightly different way. 243 px image height for thumbnails so the product listing looks uniform in grid view. 230 px in width for the main product image so that I don't get some weird responsive behaviour.
The settings are in Attachement 1.

I do not get this on my test site and I suspect it to be the template. The zoom effect on the template seems to stuff up things badly.
Before I bother the template designers I would like to have clarified that I am doing the right thing on the Hikashop side of things. I am worried that the funny thumbnail directories indicate me doing something wrong. (Attachment 2).

Are my settings okay or am I misunderstanding things?
Are all those thumbnail/thumbnails directories okay?

In regards to the template css. What is the best way to define the image size correctly so that the template remains responsive

? 100%, height and width specified,...

Hi,

Your settings are correct regarding what you need.
The thumbnails directories are okay but the 250x250, 50x50 and 100x100, I think they was created based on the default settings before you set it up this way. So correct.

You can add css properties to set a width of 100% on your thumbnails this way it will fill the container div.
