Just wanted a little feedback before I offer this to a client. Is everyone that is using this mod happy with the results?

Thanks

Is there anyway to make a category into a gallery only using this mod?

Is there a way to do that at all which wouldn't involve creating a static page for each item?

Thanks for any input.

you can create categories with the mod.

This is an exceptional mod. Works perfectly for basic needs of a gallery.

Support is good but slow, and receiving download link or attached zip file in email is also slow after purchase.

Thanks for the feedback scraps, I'll let my client know
that the mod itself will suit their needs perfectly.

They don't need to know the other stuff

I have automated the delivery process. now you will receive the download link after the order is process.

thank your for your feedback.

Because I'd only ever installed version 1 of this mod, I need some help with the install on version 3.

I wrote you via your sites contact us page today and still haven't heard anything. I realize I should wait longer to hear from you, but I'm kind of in a hurry to finish this site since I'll personally be in moving mode next week.

My questions via the install were.. Which var directory do I delete? Surely this isn't the one x-cart stores cache stuff in?

And the other is to the home.tpl part of the install on the

block of code at:

<title>{strip}
{if $config.SEO.page_title_format eq "A"}
{section name=position loop=$location}
{$location[position].0|strip_tags|escape}
{if not %position.last%} :: {/if}
{/section}
{else}
{section name=position loop=$location step=-1}
{$location[position].0|strip_tags|escape}
{if not %position.last%} :: {/if}
{/section}
{/if}
{/strip}</title>

You say to change it, but you don't say what to change it to. Mine also doesn't quite look exactly like the code here, but reads well enough for me to think it's the right code your talking about.

This code apparently seems to affect the part of admin that allows for the gallery line to show up, because everything else is properly installed with the cart and the only thing I'm not seeing is the line in the admin for the menu that should say Gallery. (I have it in the menu part for the admin, but it isn't showing up there and when I go directly to images.php, I get the your not allowed to access this resource page)

Please advise.

Just bought this mod but cannot find where to set the link photos in gallery to product in store part. Anyone using this mod? Advise?
Thank you

Kona,

You don't mention the line your trying to add, so I'm going to assume you are talking about the link on the customer side.

You can add it in various .tpl files for the customer page.. all are under skin1/

such as:

skin1/customer/special.tpl
skin1/help.tpl
skin1/customer/categories.tpl

Once added, save, then look at your customer side, you should see the word "Gallery" as the menu item (you can change the word in the linkage for the link line itself, but for this purpose, I'll just say Gallery) and depending on where you like it, you can then either leave it or try the other various tpl files till you find a solution you are happy with. This is a great way to learn how the other tpl files are of benefit to you. I for instance don't let my static pages show on help.tpl, I instead place links in my special.tpl in order to have static pages show up there instead.

thanks scraps for the reply. sorry that i'm not clear with my question. actually what i mean is the link from the photos or pictures in the gallery to actual products in the store not link to the gallery itself. for link to the gallery i have use the speed bar.
thyank you

I have recently installed this mod on one of my sites as well Kona, and I to am having the same problem.

The link is suppose to go in with the description of the image when your adding it to admin. This is how it works in version 1 of the mod anyway. I had that added when I first added this mod to another of my sites last October, and the link simply went in with the description box, and links from inside when the window pops up when clicking on the thumbnail.

However, my link is showing up on the actual gallery page at the moment and not in the popup window. The link is the one opening the popup window, and the thumbnail image doesn't open anything.

Not how it's suppose to work

I have written the author tho to have this fixed and I recommend you try the same thing.
