I do not know. I do not do development work for Lite Commerce.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the detailed photos to load quicker from the thumbs? It seems to take 4-5 seconds for the detailed shots to load after clicking on the thumbs.

This should only happen the first time that you click on the thumb. The initial time that it takes the image to appear is due to a few factors. First, it is reducing the size of the image, then it is applying the unsharp mask. These two things combined with the current server load (assuming you are on a shared server) account for the load time initially.

However, once the image is created, it is stored in the cache directory and it should display almost immediately the second time that it is requested.

How can I get it to respect the transparent bit?

(and yes, I tried going PNG, as I wanted to, anyway, but Photoshop spits out horrible PNG files and great GIFs. I can't get it to look good like I can a GIF, and a search of the net and graphics forums revealed that Photoshop and many other otherwise top shelf image editors are dogs when it comes to spitting out PNG format )

Please give me the link to the site where this "was" installed.

I can't seem to get this to work properly with the DSEFU mod installed. Both mods use some of the same templates. I end up with 3 thumbnail images on my product page and still have the detail photo in its original location below the product details.

Also, the included instructions weren't very clear about how to add the photos. I am using different folders for my detail images and my thumbnails, both inside the 'files' folder. Is this a problem? I have about 200 products entered. Am I going to have to modify them? If so, how?

I sent an email to Telefirma but figured I would post here in case anyone else has a similar problem, or knows the solution.

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

OK.. I fiddled around with my images and now it looks like what I need to do is remove my product detail images and then reload them through xcart as the thumbnail image. This gets rid of the thumbnail replication at least. Now I have another problem.. it looks like it is saving the image, but when I go to the product page there is no thumnail (just a text link that opens a popup with nothing in it). I think the problem is in the admin section where you specify the path to where the detail images and thumbnails are stored. How should this be set up?

I got this thing working, somewhat. If I enter a detail photo as a thumbnail, it seems to work ok, except...

I had to modify the thumb_popup.tpl as the height of the image was fixed at "480" and was cutting off the lower half of the detail photo so I just removed this and left the height not attributed.

When I add a 2nd detail photo (in the detailed images section) it shows up as a thumbnail on the products page and again full size right below it in the detail images box. The original detail photo/thumbnail is also replicated as a detail photo thumbnail (making it appear twice) whenever a 2nd detail photo is added

The full size (1st) detail photo shows up instead of a thumbnail in the shopping cart pushing everything else off the page to the right.

I'm just adding my praises. I installed this mod in a site that I did for an out-of-control customer, who uploads images of completely illogical sizes no matter what I say. Often the main thumbnail was pushing the text to the right into a thin vertical box that was almost unreadable. Her detailed images were sometimes enormous, but sometimes a normal size; it was impossible to get a decent layout with the inconsistent image sizes, not to mention that some of the pages took an age to download because of too many large images. With this mod, no matter what she does there is some control! It's great.

Telafirma was also very quick to respond when I had a problem installing the mod (I didn't have GD enabled in PHP), even though it was holiday time.

I wish I could say the same, but I haven't heard a word.

I had to make some modifications to the cart in order to not show a full size detail image there and still can only have one image per product.

Did you comment out the detailed images code in product.tpl? This will stop the image from showing up as a duplicate. Here's what you should comment out:

{*{if $active_modules.Detailed_Product_Images ne ""}



{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl" }
{/if}*}
