Use thumbnail as detailed if detailed image is not available
 

How can I use thumbnail as detailed image if detailed image is not available?
I have some detailed images.

You mean you want to just repeat the thumbnail below the product description again?

not exactly, what i mean is this

on the detailed product page,
if there is a detailed image show it, if not show thumbnail

Any help?

check custom mods forum for stuff like this, done plenty of times

Hi Shan,
Do you have a link to any of those topics, I have searched all over but still can't find any ?

a quick search of custome mods forum gives this in the first few results

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=21397&highlight=detailed+image

search for detailed AND images in custom mods forum

Hi Shan,
Thanks a lot, i read the topic but I think this is what the mod is for


This is to use the thumbnail on the detailed product page. and then use the detailed image as a first detailed image.

What i am looking for is this

I have some deatiled images for some products and only the thumbnails for others

on my detailed page, I want an if clause like this

If detailed image is available show the detailed image
else show the thumbnail for this product.

just find the code that shows the thumbnail in product.tpl and wrap this round it


see skin1/modules/detailed_images folder for files that control showing detailed images

Hi Shan,
I used this code and I am getting the no image available image instead of the thumbnail where there is no detailed image



{if $images}
{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$products[product].productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$products[product].product tmbn_url=$products[product].tmbn_url}
{/if}

try this.

this checks for a detailed image and if it finds one shows the first . if it dont it shows the thumbnail instead.

Oops got this

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in customer/main/product.tpl line 23]: syntax error: mismatched tag {/if}. expected {/section} (opened line 18). (Smarty_Compiler.class in /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxxxxx/httpdocs/Smarty-2.6.3/Smarty.class.php on line 1082


actually this one was okay but shows the no image available instead of the thumbnail, how do I correct that

{if $images}
{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$products[product].productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$products[product].product tmbn_url=$products[product].tmbn_url}
{/if}

Any help please,
I have the no image available image showing, where there is no detailed image, what I want to show if there is no detailed image is the thumbnail

I tried this

{if $active_modules.Detailed_Product_Images ne ""}
{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl" }
{else}
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}
{/if}


but it is not showing any thumbnail if no detail is available

I need it to show

if detailed image is available
show detailed image
else thumbnail
end if
