I'll get 4.3 up sometime later. Very busy currently.

Highslide for 4.3 is now available! With new features... Well, not new since it's not be released before like this.

You can now get Highslide 4.3 from simplexcart.com. The 4.3 version includes the following:

• Now made as a module! Enable/disable from the X-cart interface
• Only need to edit 2 files to get this working
• No charges by me. Highslide still has a $29 license fee though
• Supports single, mini-gallery and gallery mode
• 14 pre-made templates!
• Settings are edittable via the X-cart admin interface! 52 settings as well.

What do you have to lose except those ugly massive detailed photos?

If you have any issues with getting it to install then let me know. Same if some settings don't play nice, but in that case I will need to know what settings you have changed from the default value.



Modules for X-cart 4.2 and 4.1 will be available in the future.

HI Tal,

I am building my XC 4.3.1 and I was wondering if you had a sample of someone using Highslide with this version of XC. I love the idea of not have the detailed product!!

Unfortunately not.
Installing it on your own site is quick and painless so you could give it a shot to see if you like it. If you have a dev server, you could install on that as well, no need for paying for a license and then using... The single-site license seems to be a trust-basis thing and isn't verified like X-cart and other PHP applications.

Thanks Tal! Quick and pain huh?

What is a dev server?

If you could send me a link to your site so I can take a peak, I might be able to tell you.
Also, be sure to check that it is enabled in both the modules area (can be found on the left) and also is enabled in the settings area.

Thanks Tal! Quick and pain huh?

A dev server is a development server. Instead of testing changes and such on a live site, you can just make a copy of it and test on the copy. If anything goes wrong, delete the copy or remove the edit and try again without having any potential problems on the live site.

I love highslide! I purchased the commercial license and have installed it on my site so that I can have a gallery for my artwork (just on a static page) and it works great!

I wanted to try this module, so I have followed all the instructions very carefully - there aren't that many instructions, so it seems fairly simple. I've backed up my database and applied the sql patch, uploaded the highslide folder into skin1/modules, then updated the bottom.tpl file and the product.tpl file.

I can see the module in my admin section, so that seems to be working properly. But, now when I look at one of my products, the highslide doesn't seem to be working.

It shows my thumbnail and the thumb to the detailed image below, but clicking on either of them just opens the image itself in the whole window, not any popup like before or like the highslide popup.

Any ideas to fix this? I really want to get this working!

You can see here:

Oh, and by the way, in step 5 of the instructions you reference:

{include file="modules/highslide/product_highslide.tpl" productid=$product.image_id image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product|escape tmbn_url=$product.image_url id="product_thumbnail" type=$product.image_type}
 {include file=modules/highslide/single_detailed.tpl}

but you have the highslide folder in your uploads called Highslide (capitalized). At first I didn't catch this and it caused a smarty error and couldn't read the module, but once I made the capitalizations on those 2 lines I got to this point. And it looks like the " " are missing on that 2nd line too, unless I was mistaken in that.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi,

Can you double check to see if everything is properly placed? I looked at your site and its trying to get the highslide files from http://skin1/modules/Highslide/
Yes, skin1 would be the domain xD

I think I might have found the instructions where I goofed.

Step 4: xcartDir/skin1/customer/bottom.tpl
Find the lines that reference /{$SkinDir}/modules/highslide/ and replace with {$SkinDir}/modules/highslide/
I just checked my local install and noticed that the variable already had a / infront. Removing that should work

Hi Tal!

Thanks so much for your quick response! Yes, you're right, there's an extra "/" in there that I didn't notice either! lol I removed those in the bottom.tpl file and now it's better, but not quite there yet.

Now, when I click on the thumbnail, I see the loading image, but the detailed image doesn't pop up. I'm going to check the product.tpl file to see if there are any extra "/" in those lines too just in case.

I hate to bother you with this, but I really appreciate your help! Any tips on what may be wrong? I hope it's nothing I did!
