Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

I have this working (kind of) in 4.1.6 and it is sweet. I do have one problem though. What I did was added your "mouseover" routine to product.tpl uisng "if" statements as to whether the boxes were checked in "Product Detail Options options" in order to move my "detail" photos into the main display next to the description and pricing, and it really works well with products that have detail photos.

By using the "add thumbnail" routine in x-cart and specifying my main photo, it generates the thumbnail and shows it where appropriate. In product.tpl it shows the full size image, which works great for me.

The problem I am having is that for products with detail photos, it also shows the main photo, so in essence it is duplicated. I know this is because of the "include product_thumbnail.tpl" but if I remove it, nothing is displayed for products not having detail photos. I'm pretty sure I need a "if/else" statement that specifies "if" there are detail photos do "mouseover" routine "else" include product_thumbnail.tpl, but don't know the field to check in sql, or the correct syntax. Can you help?

here is what I have...

{if $active_modules.Detailed_Product_Images ne "" && $config.Detailed_Product_Images.det_image_popup eq 'Y' && $images ne '' && $js_enabled eq 'Y'}
{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/popup_image.tpl"}
{/if}
{* Added Dynamic Image Mod *}
{if $active_modules.Detailed_Product_Images ne "" && ($config.Detailed_Product_Images.det_image_popup ne 'Y' || $js_enabled ne 'Y')}
{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/mod_product_images.tpl" }
{/if}
{* / Added Dynamic Image Mod *}

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" sharpen="false" overlay="files/cache/trademark.png" overlay_position="9" class="NoBorder" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail" type="P"}

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

Without digging into the templates myself, I would assume that wrapping the main product image in {if $images eq""}{/if} should do the trick.

I haven't throughly tested it but, yes it looks like that did it. Thanks.

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

Do i need something special for this plugin, like GD library or something?

It seems it does that {thumb} does not work.. I have all permissions setup to right folder and path in function.thumb.php is correct.

I would not use this mod.
You would be better of using thickbox.

Search for "thickbox" or "lightbox" from 7dana.

And why not?

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

They don't do the same thing.

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

Yes, you need GD installed.

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

Thanks, I have installed GD...

But I can't make {thumb} to work.
Smarty keeps reporting error:
[20-Apr-2007 19:48:49] Error: Smarty error: thumb: image file does not exist in /var/www/html/Smarty-2.6.12/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

It seems that something is wrong with image PATH.... i have tried everything, but it does not work!

{thumb file="images/P/t_16131.jpg" width="850" link="false" hint="false"}

I have tried many instances, full http path, with leading /, but nothing! Still same error

Re: Easy dynamic thumbnail generation
 

I managed to make it work with hardcoded path:

{thumb file="images/T/t_70.jpg" longside="850" link="false" hint="false" overlay_position="$overlay_position" overlay="$overlay" sharpen="$sharpen" html="class=\"$class\" alt=\"$product|escape\""}

but it does not work with dynamic path:

{thumb file="tfile" longside="850" link="false" hint="false" overlay_position="$overlay_position" overlay="$overlay" sharpen="$sharpen" html="class=\"$class\" alt=\"$product|escape\""}

Any clues?
