Hi,
You' issue is coming from the CSS code of your "templates/newlifestyle/css/themes/redbrown/template.css" CSS file :

.hikashop_products .hikashop_product_image img {
max-width: 100%;
background: #fff !important;
margin: 0 0 0 0px;
width: 100%;
border: 8px solid #E8E4D8;
-webkit-transition: border 200ms ease-out;
-moz-transition: border 200ms ease-out;
-o-transition: border 200ms ease-out;
}
Also, Note that you can control the size of your images by using the Image section of page : "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Main", and also by using the "Image width/height" options of your hikashop product listing content menu.

Hello Mohamed ,

Thank you for you reply. I had tried the different Hikashop->System->Configuration image options and have the correct sizes but cannot stop the blurring.

I am not a css expert so I chose this template because it is recommended to work with Hikashop out of the box.

Could you tell me the issue with the css code and I will amend it.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

The issue is a width issue.
The image size is "small" but correct. Your template "enlarge" it by saying that it should use the all width of the cell.
Because the image is smaller than the cell, you have a "blurred" image.

So you can change the CSS or increase the thumbnail size in your HikaShop configuration (which is currently 100x100)
At this moment the thumbnails will be bigger so the CSS won't try to enlarge them.

Hello Jerome,

Thanks for the very rapid response.

Do you mean change the "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Main", aor the "Image width/height" options of your hikashop product listing content menu?

I tried adjusting both but the images are still blurred as you can see.

Also how do I get the price, description and add to cart to appear with the thumbnail - I can see these items when I set Thumbnail to 'No' but they disappear when the Thumbnail is set to Ýes'?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

After changing the settings in the configuration > Main, you have to delete the thumbnails so after that they will be re-generated.
The images are hiding the other informations probably because they are too large.
You should reduce the size of the image in the hikashop listing menu options.

Or that's maybe the previous css properties which are causing that issue.
When editing css properties or changing images, you will maybe have to press Ctrl + F5 to reset the page design.

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for clarifying the steps:

I have now set the thumb size to 100 x100 in bother the config/options and the module display. The height in module display is 300.

For the first product, I then deleted the image and uploaded it again but with the same result

I then tried again withe the fourth product but did not add an image as I wanted to see the effect with the default image - in this case Add to cart is visible but not the description and price.

We are slowly getting there but there still is a problem in the configuration that is stopping the module from working correctly.

Regards,

Mike

Hi,

As Mohamed said, the issue comes from the CSS of the template which enlarges the size of the thumbnails in order to fit in the space of each item of your listing.
So even though the size of the thumbnails is 100*100, the template enlarge them up to twice that size and that's why they are blurred.
So instead of 100*100, if you set 200*200, HikaShop will generate bigger thumbnails and instead of enlarging them, your template CSS will slightly reduce them and that will avoid the blur that you see.
Otherwise, you can also remove/change the custom CSS of your template in order to avoid that, but I would recommend to contact your template provider for that.

I have tried setting the images to 200 x 200 before with the same effect.

I selected this template to work with HikaShop as this template/Hikashop combination has been recommended by both companies and I hoped that it would work out of the box.

I have not attempted anything dramatic here so was not expecting any issues of the kind with a basic install.

It would be helpful I you could quickly log into my admin and see what the problem is to stop all this going back and forth.

I have two more projects for the customer but I cannot start them until I have this basic issue resolved.

Regards,

Mike

I still see that you have your thumbnails set to 100*100.
Maybe you're not editing the correct settings ?
It should be the width/height settings of your module that you can edit via the menu display>content modules.

We already provided two valid solutions (increase the size of the thumbnails or remove the CSS of the template creating the issue), even though the issue comes from the template, not HikaShop.
I'm sorry but we can't do more than that.

Hello Nicolas,

The settings are now 200 x 200 but even the product with the default image does not show the title and price.

I am sure that Hikashop will work out of the box with this template unless you would have bot recommended it.

There is something simple missing here as we have been working on this issue for a week without resolution.

Regards,

Mike

I still see your thumbnails as 100*100 on your website. So you're definitely not editing the correct size settings.

Where should the settings go?

Thanks

Hi,

I think that you have to change the settings in Configuration > Main > Images.

Configuration > Main > Images. are now also set to 200 x 200 but the default product image is still overwriting the title and the price.

What else could be causing this issue with a template that is designed to work with Hikashop?

Thanks,

Mike

Correct me if I'm wrong but the images are still 100*100px.
Did you changed the Thumbnail width and Thumbnail height?

Hi Eliot,

I attach 2 screenshots both showing 200 x 220

I just need to find out how to adjust the appropriate config that is making you see 100 x 100

Regards,

Mike

Are you sure you are editing the right module/menu?
Also, do you have a caching system enabled on your site? If yes, you should try to disable it.
Could you also check that you have the right thumbnails in media/com_hikashop/upload (there should be a 200x200 folder)

Hello Eliot,

Sorry that I have taken so long to get back to you.

I only have one module published - and I edit via Display / Content modules - is this correct?

Caching is disabled

I attach a screen shot of the file manager folder with the 200 x 200 images

I am sure that you can see the 100 x 100 set up somewhere but I just cannot.

I can send you my login details for you to have a quick look so that we can move on and set up the project - please let me know how to send them to you.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

We can see that 100x100 thumbnails are used in frontend thanks to the browser console.
Editing via Display / Content modules is indeed correct.

Thanks to update your version with the newest one, the 2.3.0, if the issue is still not fixed, thanks to give us the login details via private message with the link of this topic.
