4.0.11 - it works like a charm, thanks boomer

Hi Boomer,


Well i tried whole sunday to get it working in my version 4.0.11 but too bad i could not get it to work, may be it is because i am running also fashion mosaic skin in version 4.0.11. (maybe you know more about it.

what you need to watch is the different location of the file below.

Step 1) - 4.xx version xcart/product_detailed_images.php
Step 1) - 3.xx version xcart/customer/product_detailed_images.php

I put everything together and it worked from the very first time on a few 4.xx carts, Andy

i know i saw it too, have tried it but it did'nt work for me. i have put th files even in all dirs. still didn't work.
Maybe it is because of fashion mosaic.

detailed image popup
 

I installed this today on my site, and as far as I know it should be working. I did have the smarty error and got the file changed to the right directory, but the popup window is not appearing or even clickable from the image.

Any thoughts?

just a thought here, I do keep my images in the file system, would this have any effect?

I will not change that either, so if that would be the problem, I'll have to do without this mod :(

hi i managed to get it to work so far in 4.0.12 but now i got this error in the popup window.


Anyone know how to solve this problem...

See it at http://www.weckonline.nl

here it is..

language in product_images.tpl
 

Hi boomer,

well, i finally got it work in my site V4.0.12

Q: I have changed the words Previous and Next to {$lng.lbl_previous} and {$lng.lbl_next}.

I created the labels in each language. BUT. nothing appears.
maybe i did something wrong. Could you help me a bit.

Regards.

I did not give up :)
 

I did not give up and finally got this working for me in 4.04. I had been not commenting out the part where you take out the detailed images from bottom of page. I am not all that familiar with how to do this stuff, so that doesn't help, but I am learning. :) I had commented out the part I was suppose to, but I didn't realize you have to also comment the "if" statements under the scripting lines as well.

I do have a question, is it possible when the window pops up to have the window open slightly larger so you can see the "next" and "previous" buttons. My images are small enough that I'm not seeing these on the pages that popup. (Possibly a note could be added to "resize" there windows to see more images before the first image pops up)

Thank you so much, left a donation for you today, as I really love this option.

Any 30,40 or 85 values, you find in the script you can simply increase these values to get a larger viewing area (padding/margin).

Thanks for the donation ;)

I managed to get that window a bit larger and am happy with how it works now Boomer, one last question on this mod, is there a way to have it "close" when it comes to the last detailed image and they click on the next button for next image, but if no image is there it would close window automatically, or have it say how many images such as a 1 of 3 at image 2 might say 2 of 5, image 3 in the window or just some way of the customer knowing how many images are there? For new people to carts especially, they will wonder why no "next" image is coming up.

Thank you,

The script is setup to simply loopback to the 1st image, the customer should realize they are back at the begining or you can auto close if they reach the end by editing the function forward() in product_images.tpl:


to:

language
 

have you read my message BOOMER. on page six last message....

Re: language in product_images.tpl
 

Try removing the entries you added and add this to SQL patch area:

Will it be possible to have the detailed image appearing in the default location set by xcart, but only one image at a time. If there are more than one image, have a <previous> and <next> button to navigate through the imges. It all happens in the product page not in a pop-up window ... pop-ups are a nusiance sometimes .. hope someone can help.

Code to automatically close the pop-up window.
 

I found that if the user doesn't close the pop-up window, and then selects another detailed image from another product, it will display in the same pop-up window, but it doesn't get focus, so it can stay hidden if it is behind another window.

I have added code to automatically close the pop-up window if the user clicks on another window.

Add the following code to product_images.tpl before the end of the java script which ends with:

Existing code:


Insert code:

Then change the body tag from:

to:


I made this change on a version 4.0.12 cart, but it should work on any version.

Thanks for the great mod, Boomer. You saved me lots of time.

works only with one detailed image....
 

hi eric

The automatic kill is great, BUT.... if you have more than one detailed image you can not use previous or next function. if you click on NEXT the window will close instead of showing the next image.

May be you can solve this problem somehow...

Hey Boomer. I sell books online and I have an image that I call on the product_thumbnail.tpl file that displays above the picture if it is an audio book. It's just a way to let the customer know whether or not it's an audio book. I also need it to show above the image on the product.tpl, but I don't know the proper way to write it to work with your javascript in the detailed_popup.tpl file. Here is the code:

I was hoping you might be able to help me figure this out. Here is an example of the what I'm talking about:

http://www.thecrackedbook.com/xcart/customer/home.php?cat=294

Disregard my last post. I was able to call the pic in another part of the page that actually looks better than right above the detailed image. Thanks anyway.

Thanks alot boomer, this MOD works great!!!

Does anyone tried to have this detailed image popup mod working at products.tpl and cart.tpl level, I tried, but no luck, that will be nice if we can have this popup mod works at different level

Is there anyway to display the alt text that has been entered followed by "(click to close window)" instead of just having "click to close window"?
Or display that text below the image or something?

Is this hack compatible with v4.0.12 ?

I have discovered something rather interesting and I don't know if it's a bug or not. What I did was I entered the http://www.stonecomputers.com.au website (which btw is using this mod) and clicked on an image of a laptop which it then enlarged on a separate window (so far so good). I then entered the http://www.mydukkan.com website and did the same thing with a guitar. What happened was, the window that displayed the image of a laptop was replaced with a picture of a guitar. Both websites were using the same image window to display their own images and no matter how many more new sites you visit, that use this mode, all the detailed pictures are shown through this one window. And while viewing the image, you can use the 'Back' button on your browser and see all the images previously shown. Sort of cool in a way... but not really sure what to think of it actually. Just thought you guys may want to know.

Put this somewhere in skin1/customer/main/product_images.tpl

The line

Will print out the Alt text above the image in this case.

Above is an error I am getting with x-cart 4.0.13

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks!

Fix for Smarty Error Message
 

I solved this problem about the smarty error not being able to read the file (same error you are having and version).

I changed the "product.tpl" to put in a ../ before the file that was to be included so it knew where to look for it. It was at {include file="../detailed_popup_js.tpl"}.

Once this was accomplished, voila - it was fixed. Now, if we could only do something with the search function!!

:p
 

did i ever tell you i love you bomer? :oops:
it works on my shop atleast, with the php file directly under, not in customer

had initial problems with the product.tpl but got rid of the strip tags and it seemed to work but now in the pop up I get



this is the product_detailed_images.php


any ideas??

you need to get rid of all those Б─═ Б─═Б─═ Б─═Б─═ Б─═ marks infront of the code (starting at line 19)

I dont know where all those crosses came from as all Ive done is copy and paste the coding. Anyway Ive deleted them now and I get this now?!

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in d:\domains\kitinfo.co.uk\wwwroot\kitwarehouse\prod uct_detailed_images.php on line 18
No Image(s) Found!

Should I be keeping my images somewhere special or something??[/b][/code]

Ok so I've re-added all original files of Boomers and Im still getting this error message in the pop up?


Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in d:\domains\kitinfo.co.uk\wwwroot\kitwarehouse\prod uct_detailed_images.php on line 18
No Image(s) Found!


Can anyone see where the problem might be?

Ignore the crosses they just turn up when I copy and paste the code from dreamweaver??

if anyone needs to look at the site let me know

Dreamweaver, is probably the problem try editing the files with Notepad or a simple text editor and reupload the files. Dreamweaver is known for mucking up code. :wink:

Sorry still no go???

I've uploaded the files from your website also straight to my ftp etc and still getting the same problem when I click on the 'view details' bit in the product info

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in d:\domains\kitinfo.co.uk\wwwroot\kitwarehouse\prod uct_detailed_images.php on line 18
No Image(s) Found!

this is line 18


This is the full coding for the product_detailed_images.php

Is that coding in line 18 correct? has it been changed or should I be saving or loading my detailed images somewhere else??

Any help would be great or I will have to revert to an alternative way of viewing images??[/code][/b]

Are you currently passing product_detailed_images.php an productid from the product.tpl page? Also do you have a product added that has more than 2 detailed images, as well as the module is not disabled.

It seems the array is empty, which means no productid was specified or no detailed images exist, this is why you see No Image(s) Found! after the warning.

Hope this helps.
:wink:

Thank You Boomer
 

BOOMER,
WOW, somehow my reply...made into a NEW TOPIC!
So I am reposting.

Just a simple "Thank You", the mod works great using 4.0.12 ( too chicken to update to 4.0.13).
Et al,
you have to read the WHOLE post (2 parts) most questions are answered
in the first thread http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=276 for 3.XXX questions.

I have a list of ideas based off this mod, but you would have to charge.....

What a sick mod...and for free! = Donations!

BTW, I checked out http://www.cart-lab.com, WOW. Where do I start?

Thanks,


-r

Well a new day and a Fresh look at things has brought success!?

Had another gander thru the coding and saw something wrong in the product.tpl so copied your original coding and hey presto!?

Works Brilliantly Boomer thanks for your help!?

although I do have a question???

Is there anyway of incorporating the detailed image alt text inbetween the next and previous buttons???

Pleeease, pretty pleeease??? :lol:

With a little modification I got this great mod working in no time. One question, how do I make the popup window slightly larger so I can see the next & prev tags?
