when GD is not supported

It is an easy fix, all you need do is upload some thumbnails.

The layout is messed up because there is no thumbnail for the Featured Prod, and the text in the ALT tag is crowding the page.

1. Create thumbnails of each product pic in the size you want (example: 75 px wide, or 100 px wide) on your PC.

2. Name these thumbnails like so: thumb_imagename.ext, IOW the thumbnails MUST BE the exact same name and file extension as the original image, with the prefix "thumb_" attached.

> Example: Product Pic = widget.jpg / Thumbnail = thumb_widget.jpg

> Example: Product Pic = BestItem.gif / Thumbnail = thumb_BestItem.gif

> Example: Product Pic = A2Z549.png / Thumbnail = thumb_A2Z549.png

3. Upload all these thumbnails to the location store_url/images/uploads/thumbs/

If you have followed these steps correctly, your problem will be solved.

In addition, to get the Latest Products to display evenly, you can use my tutorial once you have the other problems solved. Tutorial: Latest Products and Subcategory Display Fix

Good luck with the site! Your design is coming along nicely :wacko:

P.S. - You cannot use the CubeCart uploader to upload your thumbnails. That uploader places images in images/uploads/, where you main product images reside. With GD enabled, thumbnails are created in images/uploads/thumbs. Without GD, you just need to create your own thumbnails and upload by FTP to the correct directory as given above.

>hint< It is much faster to do it in batch process on your PC and upload all at once, anyway. Even with GD enabled, many of us do it that way to save time and to have more control over the images :wacko:
