If so any help in incororating it would be appreciated.

Yes, it will do that, the very first product_images.tpl I posted will do that. It uses the main image as well as the detailed product images. The detailed product images are displayed as thumbs and open a window with the full sized image when clicked. It needs work, though. The images pop up in a full sized window. I'll take a look at it.

When i produce my html catalog into the root, the path to the tumbnails
is incorrect " images/cache " instead of " samenstellen/images/cache "

My quick and dirty solution is to copy the " images/cache " to the root as well
but it's not a very nice solution is ther a way out of this?

Just use the smarty replace function.

|replace:"site path to remove":"samenstellen/"

*edit* Hmm, that won't work either. I'll look into it. I haven't tested this with html catalog.

That does work exept for the first loading detailed image that becomes a broken
link, as soon as you do a mouseover it finds the detailed images

I'm trying to use the {thumb} plugin to resize the thumbnail images I'm displaying in my recommends.tpl. So far, I haven't been able to figure out the correct variable for the thumbnail image path. Can anyone tell me how this should be formatted for thumbnails:

$images[image].image_path

thanks!

Hi,

How exactly do i edit the product_images.php file

Do I replace the entire file with

or do I keep certain parts of the file

I get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in /xcart/modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.php on line 54

Thanks

Tahir

You don't edit product_images.php, you edit product_images.tpl.

And yes, you replace the whole thing.

Hi Thanks.

I have done that. Now when I enter a product page it does not show the detailed image only the small thumbnails. I checked the root of the detailed image and it has the wrong path. It should be;

http://www.urbanretro.co.uk/xcart/images/detailed/d_20_01.gif

but instead it comes up as

http://www.urbanretro.co.uk/home/tahir786/public_html/urbanretro-co-uk/xcart/images/detailed/d_20_01.gif

I am not sure if this is a problem with my shared hosting (clook.net) or I need to change something in the file. I have tried everything but still not working

Thanks for any help

Read back earlier in the thread where I explained how to use replace to remove the unneeded part of the server path.

Hi I tried that but still not working do I tried to remove everything starting from http://www.urban...etc and I tried just removing the part I dont want. I think I just keep making a small mistake.

Thanks. Tahir
