How to use a different image between the category and thumbnails.

[Hasked]

Hello everyone, I have the same problem you can see in this topic . 

 

I'm not able to use different images between the category banners and the thumbnails. If I upload an image for the category banner a smaller image is automatically uploaded as thumbnail and the result is awful.

 

In the case I wasn't able to explain myself in a correct  way, you can see an example on this page looking at the subcategory LEGNI ROCCE SABBIE PER.. The image you see there is the one I uploaded as banner category (i removed the oter banner category images so in the other sub-category there is the default image "image not avialable").  

 

I tried to fix the problem doing this suggestion in the topic :

 

I don't know if it's the right way but, as a workaround, I add the full banner sized image to the category as you would normally.  I then have a 125 x 125 px image with the "nice" square thumbnail.  I save it in jpg format with the following filename:

 

xx-medium_default.jpg

 

where xx is the ID number of your category.  For instance, one of the images I was doing was for category ID 154.  The file was saved as 154-medium_default.jpg.

 

This is then copied into the "img/c" folder of your prestashop site.  I now have a nice square thumbnail and full banner image for my categories 

 

As I said - not sure it's the right way - I'm a complete prestashop newbie... just a workaround until I find an "official" way to do it.

 

 

It sounds a logical solution. But everytime I try do change the image in this way automatically it's uploaded again the banner category image on the file i'm trying to change.

 

 Any solution?
