Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

I am still having trouble getting the thumbnail to show on the downloads page. And still no response from Stephen. And that's not to mention that I can't have detailed images. When I do they stuff my page up. Anyone got any good hints as to how to get detailed images to work right?

Anyone knows how to modify the language like "Previous" and "Close" in the shadowbox.js file when using the Telafirma mod? Sorry for asking, I am just a total javascript n00b here... I searched on the http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/ site and forum as well and there's an option to change the language but that shadowbox.js looks totally different than mine...

The file you see on the shadow box website is likely very close to the same thing in terms of code that you have - but the one in the TelaFirma distribution is compressed (linebreaks and unneeded space and comments are removed) - so it is a little harder to read and edit. But - you can see the same code if you search for it - and change the text to be what you want:
search for:

Code:

'Next'

change to

Code:

'Siguiente'

etc.
The span class is creting the linked item in the popup - so you should be able to set that as you wish as well.

Thank you gb2world, that solved it :D I was searching for "Next", "Previous" etc. in the file so could never find the right string:wink:

Seriously, don't waste your money on Stephen's mod. If anyone has an interest, we can demonstrate further how to update his code to work with an opensource plugin so that it works with any domain.

We'd consider writing a full module, but probably won't use X-Cart after our current projects. XXXXX looks so much better.

PM sent. I paid for this mod and expected that I might have to pay more in the future for help with updates but I can't get any response from that company now. It's like they dropped off the face of the earth (unless you want to buy something I'm sure).

You did not provide any information about what you mean by "not working". You do need to know about the patch in this thread to get rid of javascript errors in IE7 with the shadowbox.

We purchased this mod from Stephen just before he disappeared. His irritating copy protection was preventing us from putting the site live, much to our client's annoyance. After two weeks of emails and phone calls (got his phone number via whois and Google), we gave up. We then had the task of solving this problem ourselves.

Because we had his partially functional module, we kept his admin interface. This could also be rewritten from scratch or even hardcoded but because of time constraints, we just went with what we had. We also had to make some minor changes to the templates, passing in relative image paths.

Replacing function.thumb.php was the main concern. As a closed-source document, we weren't quite sure what it did or how it worked. Some searching turned up what is probably the document that Stephen modified and encrypted. It is a smarty plugin, but since X-Cart is built on smarty it integrated perfectly:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/thumb-imp/

Check out the parameters in the source document. It has a lot of features that Couch's module doesn't have, though it is missing other features, ones that we simply didn't want. The main thing, the important thing, is that it generates thumbnails on the fly and caches the images.

So, as a newbie, I downloaded the two .php files but what do I do with them? Am I replacing the function.thumb.php file I have now with the new one? I am confused! Also, Telefirma's says that it handles all needed image sizes for a product. Does this product do this too or does it just make thumbnails?

Hi rtraction,

I have been caught as well with this mod, I would be willing to donate something to get the complete list of changes I need to make to get this working again, we have two sites that are now broken due to this and I've had to remove the mod in the short term.

Please PM me if this is an option.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Hi

im sorry i have to use the forums to get my message across, but i have left a few messages with telafirma and no one has got back to me, if anyone from telafirma is reading this can you please provide some assisstance. i purchased the dynamic image generator and attempted to install it on our x cart (version 4.1.10), i got as far as applying the SQL patch and then was a SQL error. now if i go back to get the error again, it says

Quote:

SQL query:
INSERT INTO `xcart_languages`
VALUES ( 'US', 'module_name_Dynamic_Images', 'Dynamic Images', 'Modules'
)

MySQL said:

#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

i looked at the xcart_modules table and seems to contain the first line of the SQL patch has gone through, so some of the SQL patch has gone through.

can someone please help me or can some from TELAFIRMA get in touch with me.

thanks

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Change the SQL patch to:

INSERT INTO `xcart_config` VALUES ('di_product_image_width', 'Image width on Product Page', '200', 'Dynamic_Images', 10, 'numeric', '200', '', '');

Then it should work for 4.1.10

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Hi

thanks for the reply, i think as the patch has been partially applied, just changing one line will not do the trick. i can look at each statement on the patch and delete, so a working patch can be run again.

are there any other changes i need to make?

thanks for your help, telafirma seem to be useless.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

As mentioned in an earlier post, after TelaFirma disappeared, we needed to update their module to work with any domain. This involves downloading the free smarty image function and changing some of Dynamic Images code.

Download thumb_imp:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205464

This archive has two files: function.thumb.php and function.thumb_imp.php.
They go in: /include/templater/plugins/
There is an existing function.thumb.php file in this folder. Rename or replace that file. If you open function.thumb_imp.php, you can see the code.

There are a number of new parameters that you may want to take advantage of. We need to update the Dynamic_Images code to work with this module. The main problem is the file parameter.

/include/func/func.product.php

replace line 637:

Code:

$result[$key]["tmbn_url"] = func_get_image_url($value['productid'], 'T', $value['image_path']);

with:

Code:

$result[$key]["tmbn_url"] = $value['image_path'];

/skin1/modules/Dynamic_Images/product_image.tpl

replace line 41:

Code:

<a rel="{$rel}" href="{thumb file=$product.tmbn_url width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_detail_popup_width linkonly="Y"}" title="{$product.product}" class="NoBorder">

{thumb file=$product.tmbn_url width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_product_image_width alt=$product.product|escape class=NoBorder id="mainphoto"}

</a>

with:

Code:

<a rel="{$rel}" href="{$product.tmbn_url_T}" title="{$product.product}" target="_blank">

{thumb file=$product.image_path_T width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_product_image_width alt=$product.product|escape class=NoBorder id="mainphoto"}

</a>

replace line 86:

Code:

<a href="{thumb file=$v.image_url width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_detail_popup_width linkonly="Y"}" title="{$product.product}" rel="{$rel}" class="NoBorder">

{thumb file=$v.image_url width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_detail_thumb_width alt=$product.product|escape class=Thumbnail}

with:

Code:

<a href="{$v.image_url}" title="{$v.productcode}" rel="{$rel}" class="NoBorder" target="_blank">

{thumb file=$v.image_path_W width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_detail_thumb_width alt=$v.productcode|escape class=Thumbnail}

replace line 113:

Code:

<a href="{thumb file=$images[image].image_path width=$config.Dynamic_Images.di_detail_popup_width linkonly="Y"}" title="{$images[image].alt}" rel="{$rel}" class="NoBorder">

with:

Code:

<a rel="{$rel}" href="{$images[image].image_path}" target="_blank">

/skin1/modules/Dynamic_Images/product_thumbnail.tpl
This isn't necessary, but we wanted to use the longside parameter in the new function. You can pass any parameters in that are defined in thumb_imp.

replace line 20:

Code:

{thumb file=$tmbn_url width=$image_x special=$special load=$load email=$email class=$class alt=$alt id=$id name=$name}

with:

Code:

{thumb file=$tmbn_url longside=$image_x width=$image_x special=$special load=$load email=$email class=$class alt=$alt id=$id name=$name}

/skin1/customer/main/cart.tpl

replace line 27:

Code:

{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/product_offer_thumb.tpl" product=$products[product]}

with:

Code:

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$imageid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$products[product].product tmbn_url=$products[product].image_path type=$products[product].is_pimage}

There may be information missing here; let us know and we'll update this post.

Hi

thanks for the info! i am just in the process of updating my files, i wanted to ask you if there was any database modifications that need to be carried out?

also as the SQL patch was the first stage and i couldnt complete that i did not carry out the rest of the installational instructions for the dynamic mod, shall i carry out the rest of the steps for the mod? (editing all the templates)?

thanks

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

kamesh,

This code is based on a previous installation of the DynamicImages mod. Without that, it would be completely different. That said, the code would work with a bit of work.

The main edits you should be concerned with is func.product.php to get the correct file parameter and writing the call to the thumb function. The code below is passing variables in but you could also pass in hard values as well to test it out. All the parameters are defined in the func.thumb_imp.php.

Code:

{thumb file=$tmbn_url longside=$image_x width=$image_x special=$special load=$load email=$email class=$class alt=$alt id=$id name=$name}

Yo - we purchased this and have not received our mod.
furthermore they are not answering emails.

I see other posts where folks have been waiting more than a week and have still heard nothing..... Seems shady, but this is obviously a popular mod......

Anyone have any insight?

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

I have this mod working on my site, but I cannot get the variant images to change when something is selected from the dropdown. Anyone have variant images working properly with this mod?

I contacted Stephen although from what I've now read here it's highly unlikely that I'll ever get a response.

If variant images do not work with this mod, I would like to simply delete it. But since Stephen installed it for me I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Do not buy this mod! Do not buy anything from this company! They refuse to respond to emails. They accept payment through Paypal and you'll never get a refund from Paypal.

Moderator - you should remove the first page of this topic which talks about how great they are. It is very misleading and you are providing a venue for them to further scam the public.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

To be fair, Stephen never set out to rip anyone off or scam people - he used to provide great service. He has unfortunately disappeared and is no longer responding to e-mails. Hopefully everything is ok with him, I don't think he is intentionally scamming anyone.

I will make a note of this on the front page of this thread.

He has been gone to long to be keeping his website operational and still expect to run an ethical business.

Stephen is ripping us off. By advertising software / a service and not delivering.

My advice to everybody on this forum is NOT to purchase from TELAFIRMA until Stephen makes a public announcement that he is going to fullfill his services.

If Stephen was acting ethically he would have disabled his website.

PayPal only cares that the product was delivered period as far as a dispute is concerned.

What amazes me is the people who are willing to continue to purchase this mod. Its like kicking a dead horse. Wake up and smell the coffee!

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Just a note, the free, open-source Dynamic Images module that I recently released (available at PHP Site Solutions, is essentially thumb_imp revamped, as the thumb_imp plugin for Smarty that is available, has several flaws.

Granted, the revamped code may have flaws as well, but regardless, I've moved the code forward, made improvements, and will keep on making improvements.

The Dynamic Images module itself is not a direct replacement of Telafirma's module, but Dynamic Images could easily be extended to support all of Telafirma's functionality.

If anything, I suggest trying out my modified function.thumb.php and function.thumb_imp.php files, as I've improved some issues such as caching (previously, a cached image could be recreated several different times, depending on your usage of the {thumb} plugin functionality), I've added support for http URLs to images, and more.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Hello Guys,

In the past Stephen recommended me in a private message to buy his mods. After many emails sent these days and no replies, I am affraid to buy from Telefirma. Too bad, he did a great job.

For sure the owner will not appear in the next months. Some people ordered and paid without getting anything. This is outrageous. Also the technical support is missing.

Those who ordered and get it, but they are not satisfied by the support should offer FOR FREE all the mods they bought. In this way people like me who want to buy and cannot do that, will have the chance to use them and continue developing a better support for them. I know it sounds strange, but life goes on!

Cheers

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

One more thing:

We are talking about ethic, business and money. If Stephen was a professional he could let a message or a banner in this forum and inside his website to inform us about his missing.

Here is a template:

"Hey, stupids do not send me emails or call me. I have problems, I will let you know as soon as I can. Don't worry I will be back. For those who are trying placing orders I disabled for a while this facility. You will get a 10% discount for this inconvenience."

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

While I can understand your reasoning for everyone to share out what they purchased from Stephen, that would quite actually probably end up in a bunch of lawsuits. Additionally, his mods are code-obfuscated and locked to the purchasers domain. Please don't suggest anything like that again.

Cheers

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

@intel352 - You are right. Like many others I would like to know what happened with Stephen. I also want buying asap his mods. I am feel frustrated by this situation. ](*,)

Does anyone know if there are alternatives to his mods? If there are where shall I found for buying or downloading?

X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator 4.1
X-Cart Manufacturer Pack 4.1
X-Cart Static Pages Content Categories 4.1
X-Cart Upsell In Cart 4.1
X-Cart Advanced Reviews 4.X

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

I used the tele-firma image mod in the past, but when 4.1.x came out, and I found the mod was incompatible (besides totally "kluging" the templates pretty much everywhere) I decided to steer clear of this type of mod in the future. From now on it is either x-cart add-ons, open source mods, or ones that don't have any encrypted components.

Re: TelaFirma - X-Cart Dynamic Image Generator

Staying on the creator's part, encrypting the code is the best way to protect his business. The creator thinks a guy will spread the code to many others, maybe he is right, but in my case I can pay 100 USD to a person who did a great job. And like me there are many other who appreciate that someone solve our issues and we can go further.

Staying on the buyer's part it is the worst thing. What if the creator left without providing any support? There are a lot scenarios. Not the money is the problem, solving the problem in time it is!

If I will buy mods or anything else, I will ask if I have access to the code. If not I will not buy it.

Just received our file from Stephen today with some nice additions for our other site.

So he is still around.

Edit*You should also know it took 2 weeks to get it and his support might still be the same.*
