Yes, but if you are looking at the Dynamic Image Generator, it doesn't work with the 4.1.x version of x-cart.

Any idea when this mod will be compatible with 4.1.x??

Thanks

OK, another question.

If I'm trying to generate feeds (e.g. Froogle) or use the product export, the image path referenced is to the big one I uploaded, from which the cached images are derived.

I'm looking for it to reference the smaller cached image but I'm having problems working out how a product is linked to it's cached image? Anyone know how or how I might get a table of product ID's to they're corresponding cache images?

Thanks

Dan

I don't really know how you would do it, and don't really see a need to. I believe that google base (formerly froogle) makes its own thumbnails from your full size image. I'm not sure what it would do with a thumbnail instead.

Stephen at Telafirma told me that he was not going to work on a version for 4.1.x xcart until it was stable as one of the issues has to do with thumbnail generation. There is a thread at http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=22308 that deals with this subject for version 4.1.x, you might check there.

Thanks, it might be OK for Froogle but for other feeds that I'm offering, say on the affiliate programs, the largest image is far too big.

Thanks to Stephen for this mod and his help getting past an issue I had.

Two questions for the gallery:

1. The pop-up window generated by clicking the product picture on the product page has the following HTML title: <TITLE>X-CART. Powerful PHP shopping cart software</TITLE>

How can I change that?

2. I'd like to place a variable in the products page code that will display the image name under the images. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Scott,

I don't have the code with me to give you exact details but this is how you can do what you are looking for.

#1 the text "X-CART. Powerful PHP shopping cart software" is generally inserted into the code via a language variable. The fastest way to change this is to do a find and replace within all of your files for that string. Most likely it is in the main language file. Change it there and you will change it everywhere.

#2. You say you want to display the image name, did you by chance mean the item name or product name? If you want to display the product name simply copy whatever variable displays the product name and insert it where you want it to appear. The best way to find this is the go into webmaster mode and click to edit the file that has the information you are looking to duplicate. Look at the html and find where the variable is. If you are looking to create a new variable called $ImageName or something like that you will need to declare that variable and tell the script what it is and how to interpret it. Hope this helps.

#1 The site title language variable was under Text txt_site_title. Thanks.

#2 I'm trying to get the actual image file name, but I don't know how to create a new variable called $ImageName. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I found a quirk. With X-SpecialOffers mod installed, there is a special thumbnail that isn't being resized. See this page for an example: http://www.hellyhansenusa.com/store/special-c-311.html
