Picture Quality

i guess, the scroller takes the pictures from the "resized" folder inside the "products" folder. these thumbs are smaller then those in the scroller, so we have actually poor image quality in the scroller because the module is larger then the thumbs.
Is there a workaround?

Open:

modules\mod_vmscroller\helper.php

around line 395:

if ($show_product_name) {
$html .= '<span class="VMTitle'.$this->slideid.'" style="color: '.$this->titlecolor.'; text-align: '.$this->titlealign.';">'.'<a href="'. $product_link .'" title="'.$pr->product_name.'"><img src="'.JURI::base(true).'/'.$image->file_url_thumb.'" class="VMImg'.$this->slideid.'" style="width: '.$this->imageSize.';" alt="'.$pr->product_name.'" /><br/>'.$pr->product_name.'</a></span>';
} else {
$html .= '<span class="VMTitle'.$this->slideid.'">'.'<a href="'. $product_link .'" title=""><img src="'.JURI::base(true).'/'.$image->file_url_thumb.'" class="VMImg'.$this->slideid.'" style="width: '.$this->imageSize.';" alt="'.$pr->product_name.'" /></a></span>';
}


you see in two places :

$image->file_url_thumb

you could change that to :

$image->file_url

Thank you.

But there is another problem i would like to have solved; the pictures must have fixed proportions or they are to long for the scroller window so text disappeares... Is there a trick how to handle this?

Maybe putting this css at bottom of template_css.css:

IMG.VMImg1{
max-width:100%;
max-height:150px; /*change this if you want*/
width:auto!important;
height:auto!important;
}
