Regenerate Thumbs in Virtuemart 2
Most common question amongst developer lobby and clients who are using Virtuemart as an ecommerce platform in their Joomla CMS website is "How to regenerate thumbnails in VM?". This situation occurs when there is a change in thumb size during redesign. We already faced this situation when client wants to change the thumb sizes.
We've found out a very good solution for this so you will not have to manually update all the products which is a big pain and tiring process. So just follow the below steps:
- Login to FTP OR File Manager whatever you are using.
- Go to images/stories/virtuemart/products/resized folder and delete all the images.
- Now go to the images/stories/virtuemart/categories/resized folder and delete all images from here as well.
- Login to Joomla admin panel and go to Virtuemart.
- Go to Configuration and Select Templates Tab.
- Under "Media File Settings", Just enable "Enable Dynamic Thumbnail Resizing" option and make sure, proper height/weight values are entered in below boxes.
- Just save it and you're done!
Now you can just go to front end and reload the site, all the thumbnails will be recreated with the new sizes that you've set for both products and category images.
