Seperate Thumbnail Image Uploads

I have see a few people on the forum looking for a way to have a different image view from the thumbnail upload. Well I have something that might help them accomplish this.

In your <xcart_dir>/skin1/custom/main/product.tpl file, find the following part of code:

Code:

<TD valign="top" align="left" rowspan="2" width="100">

{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"}

</TD>

and replace it with this:

Code:

<TD valign="top" align="left" rowspan="2">

{if $images.0.avail eq "Y"}

{if $images.0.tmbn_url}

[img]{$images.0.tmbn_url}[/img]

{else}

[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/product_image.php?imageid={$images.0.imageid}[/img]

{/if}

{else}

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid

image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$product.product

tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}

{/if}

</TD>

This mod will make it so that on the product preview page instead of displaying the thumbnail again it will display the detailed image you upload. This will also create a small problem, your detailed image will be displayed on the page twice. To stop that from happening do this.

In your <xcart_dir>/skin1/modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl file replace the following:

Code:

{section name=image loop=$images}

with this

Code:

{section name=image loop=$images start=1}

Witch will make it skip over the first added detailed image and only display images added after the first.

If you decide not to upload a second detailed image the detailed image box will still appear with no content and you fix that by doing this.
In your <xcart_dir>/skin1/modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl file replace the following:

Code:

{if $images ne ""}

with this

Code:

{if $images ne "" and count($images) ne 1}

If done correctly when uploading a new product you can upload the thumbnail, then upload a detailed image to be displayed is the products main view, and you still have the ability to add more detailed images that will appear in the correct place.

I use this mod on my site now check it out the site is not compleat so theres only one product under logo templates.

Glad to help!

Deonya,

Thank you for providing this viable solution to the many workarounds. I have modified the tpls's with the code, but it receives a parse error when implementing:

Code:

{if $images ne ""}

with

Code:

{if $images ne "" and count($images) 1}

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/michael/public_html/store/templates_c/%%A2^A2B^A2BE44E9%%product_images.tpl.php on line 5

Ideas? Many thanks for your assistance.

Anyone know what the correct syntax of:

Code:

{if $images ne "" and count($images) 1}

I would love to be able to not have a blank detailed image box when there isn't a second one (per this post).
Thanks,

Mike.//

Very nice im going to try this , this mroning.

Bizzare, still just seems to show the thumbnail image, even though there is a detailed image uploaded (4.0.5)

Works fine in all of my 4.x installs. Although without the image count code, you'll get a blank "Detailed Image" box when there is not a 2nd detailed image.

If you don't see anything, I suspect:

1. You product image is still scaling down to the desired thumbnail size or you only have 1 detailed image. You'll need three images for Deonya's code to be effective.

K i'll try again.

Need to make it work with boomers tab mod as well

Deonya - Thanks! Works great!

One small error in the code is that last part that Mike noted above. The correct syntax of the last line should be

Code:

{if $images ne "" and count($images) ne 1}

(The last 'ne' was left out. :) )

Thanks again Deonya!
