Instead of displaying all the detailed images at once, it displays the first image and a side bar of thumbnails. When you mouseover the thumbnails the main image changes to display the large version of that thumbnail.

For an example, see the product pages at my live site: Alltribes.com.

It uses a different script, but the end result is essentialy the same.

Great mod, i realy like it! hope you or somebody can help me with the
following.

i'm getting the error:
Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open '../../skin1/images/cache/b1f12a28db86daf25cc16ec2fd282dac.jpg'
for writing in /Smarty-2.6.9/plugins/function.thumb.php on line 329

path is correct it shows the big image but not the thumbnail.
maybe it's in the wrong directory but it's the third one i put it
in all giving the same error message.
all directory's have chmod 777 also gave the image 777 without luck

thanks Eddie

i'm using X-cart 4.0.18

Sounds like 1 of 2 problems.

1. The skin1/images/cache directory doesn't exist
2. The skin1/images/cache directory doesn't have write permissions.

Probably #2. I forget to do that all the time.

Thanks for the quick reply.

the directory exists and they all have write permissions
i do get the big image in featured products so i know the path and
such are ok.

cheers Eddie

Have you edited the function.thumb.php to point the cache directory somewhere else? If not you need to create the images/cache under your www root. If that doesn't work try it in your store root (i.e. store/images/cache/)

Got it! i had to take your second mod because i had to
replace all the image paths like this

Quote:
{* $Id: product_images.tpl,v 1.12 2004/05/28 12:21:05 max Exp $ *}
{if $images ne ""}
{capture name=dialog}
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
{section name=image loop=$images}
{if $images[image].image_path|replace:'server path to remove':''}
<tr><td>{thumb file=`$images[image].image_path` longside="100" link="false"}</td></tr>


{/if}
{/section}
</table>
</td>
<td>
<img src={$images[0].image_path|replace:'server path to remove':''} name="main_image"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_detailed_images content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='width="100%"'}
{/if}

In your last mod with preloader i couldn,t get the mouseoverlink to work wit the
Quote:
|replace:'server path to remove':''

the images and cache directory's are placed under store

but it's working, thanks very much, i like it.

cheers eddie

Hmm, I'll have to look into the preloader on 4.0.18. I'm sure it's just something with the smarty syntax. I need a working version for 4.0.18 anyway to see how fast it is compared to my current mod.

Looks like a nice mod. Anyone has this online on their site and willing to post a link?

Really want to see the result

Ok, I think I figured out the problem /w 4.0.18. Instead of:
Quote:
|replace:'server path to remove':''

Use:
Quote:
|replace:"server path to remove":""

That got it working for me, just a simple change in syntax. You should be able to use the preloading template now.
