Making adjustments? Cleaning up

Hi, Omega theme. I have three customization queries, please can you asssit me with these?

1) I'd like to know how I change the thumbnails on my product pages. I know you change the settings in the VM Configuration, which is currently at 170 x 90

I am happy with the product thumbnails being 170 x 90 on the category listing page, but on the actual product page, when you click onto it it has a huge white space, around the 170 x 90 thumbnail. The total box size is 350 x 350 . How do I increase the thumbnail size on that Product, and if not, how can I reduce that space around the thumbnail it as it looks odd? The main image file I am uploading is bigger than 350 x 350.

I see it is displayed like this on the Omega theme page as well? - See Attachment 1

2) I dont want product information on the product category listing, so I havent inlcuded a short description. This is fine as it works by not showing any text under the product, however, I still have a big blank space between the product and the add to cart button. - See attachment 2, this is similar to what my page looks like. How do I remove this on the homepage? What file and where do I make the changes?

3) Im using OTBOUTIQUEBOX for Joomla 1.7. I like how your's says "Product Details" instead of "add to cart" - if I change this in the language file will it affect the product page when I want it to say "add to cart"?

Thanking you in advance for your assistance

You can set the thumbnail size in configuration is nearest the size you want, for example 300 x 300.
Then, to replace the current thumbnails, in product edit page, product image tab, upload the images with Replace and/or Replace thumbnail option.

For best display, product image should have white background. You should prepare images before upload to products.

The homepage use mod_virtuemart_product, and you can edit file templates/ot_boutiquebox/html/mod_virtuemart_product/default.php, find this code and remove (or comment) it:
For the category page (but not homepage), edit file templates/ot_boutiquebox/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php, find this code and remove (or comment) it:

If you change the words in language file, it will change the words only, do not effects the product page.
It will be better if "Detail" rather than "Add to cart" because product will have attribute (as color, size, etc.) so customer can not add to cart at browser page, just do add to cart in product detail page. So we love to leave it "Detail".

Thanks for using our products!

Hi, thanks for the speedy response and advise - managed to get it all working properly

Just one question... (sorry) on the category page it's picking up small thumbnails in 170 x 170 which is good (even though I made the thumbs bigger in the settings) - any suggestions on how I can make the ones on the homepage module appear in that same size?

Thanks again for your help
You have been a great help and I will definitely use your themes in future projects!

Hi,
To set limited size for the thumbnail at module on homepage to the size as you want(eg: 170x170), just add this to css:
Thanks for interest!

Thanks for the help! Will try that now

You ROCK!
Thanks
