MarD Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 if you used other contributions or either it's just another version of what additional images has build on then you will have different code. It's not a problem, just add from // BOF to // EOF In 2.2 rc2 works like a charm in that way! I just had some problems with sql in phpmyadmin (products_image_med, products_image_pop, products_image_description). SQL commands and SQL import system gave me errors. What I did was to go under products table, check products_image and move on drop-down menus and option manually. This worked for me and I don't know why, after all looks the same command. Great distribution! Best one I've used yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaverp Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks for all your assistance... Installation went pretty smoothly - appears however I may have broken the SEO-G contribution with the mod. Will tackle that later... For now I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with... 1) Is there a site somewhere that has incorporated this mod that is using multiple thumbnail images that I can see for reference? 2) If I already have some product / images on the site - what's the best way to "fix" them so they take advantage of the mod? Should I delete those products and start over again with fresh images / and product descriptions? 3) What are the "normal" sizes used for small; medium and large images for a manual upload, and what sizes will the contribution "automatically" resize a large image down to for the small and medium sizes when uploaded? Thanks again... Quote Gaver diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" - while you look for a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Product descriptions aren't touched at all. 3) I'm using "restrict image sizes" option for additional images contribution and takes the values from admin -> configuration -> images hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have the correct mid sized image (lower file byte count) and it's correctly scaled (100px X 150px), but when I click on the details (or image) it takes me to the details page, and when I click on the image there I get a popup window that appears to contain 3 very large images and some wording "VIEW" (?) Two of the images are out of the view port of the popup window.... You can see it first hand by going here: http://www.authenticendlesssummer.com and clicking on the Blue Denim Hoodie in the first row, second column. Then on the resulting product info page click on the image again to see the pop-up problem. So... anyone know what I managed to break?

Should I delete those products and start over again with fresh images / and product descriptions? If you mean by "fix" to generate the thumbs, there is a utility included. You should find it in the Admin > Catalog menu. Use the upper utility to locate pre-existing products that have not had thumbs generated. The lower utility is for regenerating images after you FTP new ones to the site or if you change image sizes 3) What are the "normal" sizes used for small; medium and large images for a manual upload, and what sizes will the contribution "automatically" resize a large image down to for the small and medium sizes when uploaded? you can specify any size.

Thanks Todd, I wish I had that tip regarding resizing about an hour ago... I used the "utility" to generate images for all the products in one of my categorys and then noticed a very pixelated thumbnail was being used on the product_list and new_product pages... So - I removed all the images and created new thumbs and mids from the large image and uploaded them again. The problem I noted with the popup displaying multiple images went away after tweaking the admin panel some. Thanks for the references - I'll go check them out next... Another question for you - when I use one of the automated image generator routines - is it actually creating a smaller image and storing it somewhere or it is just generating them on the fly with each new http request?

surfalot Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 it's creating the images and storing them in the same location as the original. thumbs get and "s" tacked to the end of the name, meds get "m", large get "l'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it's a public forum. The files are not based on the latest version. Step C. of the install doc lists the version it is based on and we discussed it on the last page of the topic. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primitive_man Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hello, this is only my second post - the forum is so helpful on this site. I only wish to have 2 pics per product - 1 side and 1 front View. I have: 1 sm (Small Pic) & 1XL pic for the side view - both are exactly the same file. How do I upload only the sm pic and make Additional Images think that I've uploaded the XL pic too? I also wish to do the same for the front view - except, in that case, I currently have to upload the same file 3 times. Any assistance deeply appreciated. ================== PS.

michaelwl Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I've been running this contrib for a while in my store, and it's worked very well! How could we change it so that it copies the additional images when duplicating a product. The main image is field is copied in the db but the additional images aren't copied over. I have a lot of products which have additional attributes like extra hard drive or what ever. With 7+ additional images to redo for every variation is quite cumbersome. Anyone got any ideas? I went through the changes made in the latest version but that isn't one of the added functionalities. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaverp Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Todd, I tried to upload a new set of image files to one of the directories created by AI and I"m getting errors stating permission denied. So.. I tried to chmod the values of the files and that was denied also... Is there a way for me to delete files and upload replacements for them wihout having to utilize the admin panel and delete each one idividually for each product? Sure hope so..

wayofjungle Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi, i have used the contribution in the past. The new version 2.1.0 has given me quite a few issues, dont know if im getting old or what. I am using OSC ver 2.2-MS2. My current problem here is that when i click the 'save' button to after browsing additional images nothing happens. No redirect no error, its like the button is stuck. I this is an issue in categories.php but could it be in the file im supposed to be redirected to? I fixed a similar problem with the product info page, the 'preview' button at the bottom of the listing did the same thing until i removed the new 'added: onSubmit="return check_form(new_product);" ?>' portion on line 645. These two problems are probably related so if someone can help i really appreciate otherwise i might just figure this out sooner. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for a fine Contribution. If you set the contribution to automatically generate thumbs, then you only need to upload 1 image size per image. If you want the small and medium images the same size, set them as the same size in the Admin > Configuration > Images. Then you would upload the largest sized image for each. If you want one of the images to always be small, everything is the same, just upload the small image size and all sizes will be small.

Is there a way for me to delete files and upload replacements for them wihout having to utilize the admin panel and delete each one idividually for each product? Sure hope so.. Regards, depends on your host, not all are setup to allow file manipulation from a php script. Here is some info relating to file ownership and PHP I wrote for another, a while ago. The problem is not permissions, but file ownership. On some hosts the webserver runs under the unprivileged "nobody" user name. So files get created as being owned by that user. Some hosts also go one step further and don't allow other users access to files owned by someone else. If that is the case, the only way to access those files is through a web-based file manager that also runs as user nobody. cPanel has one that allows you to change permissinos. Maybe your host has something similar. When you FTP to your site files, you are FTPing as the user name of the FTP login (different user then "nobody"). You may be able to change the permissions of the files from 755 to 777 with a web based file manager. The other option is to ask your host to do it for you. If you can change the permissions, find out if 777 permissions allows you to access the files via FTP. If not, that host is blocking access to files owned by other users and that host will be more trouble then it's worth. May also cause trouble with header tags controller. Find one on linux with cPanel and (preferably) SuExec installed. SuExec is something that protects the host from bad people and also makes sure the webserver is running as the user the account is installed on. Just makes things more easily accessible by PHP code and FTP accounts by making the PHP web account run under the FTP account name instead of Nobody. SuExec did other things to protect the host and client from be hacked also, not sure if SuPHP does all the same. I haven't looked into it. Just to be clear, SuExec (I think) is now called SuPHP. I just had a look at one of my servers' configurations, and sure enough, they don't call it SuExec anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfalot Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Got it to work, you have to remove the onsubmit command again with regards to new_images, dont know why that programmer had those lines in there, maybe something with newer version of oscommerce but there is no mention in his install file of which version the mod is for. the javascript and the onsubmit code fixes an issue with some servers that didin't allow the upload of the image to complete. It was this issue mentioned in the fixes: + Fixed issue where new products using the same image name failed to generate the sized images leaving something like "/tmp/phptRbYPs" in the thumb image field. If you don't experience that issue, that code will be unimportant to you. When working correctly, the javascript communicates to the server and checks for an existing image with the same name. then gives you a choice to replace or cancel. Also helps if you prevent accidentally replacing an existing product image with a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bythewindow Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 This is a great contrib. I just got Additional Images Module v 2.1.0 installed on osc 2.2rc2a. It seems wroking all right, but "thumbnail menu with mouse-over display for product page and popup" did not work for me. I had the mouse-over the thumbnail menu image, but nothing happened.

On Firefox works fine! example product info(working fine): http://www.coolmodels.gr/beltcprtf-p-31.html example products info(not working): http://www.coolmodels.gr/extra330lkit-p-33.html Also IE says I have syntax errors.

surfalot Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 lets start with the mouse-overs. They are not working, I think, due to a configuration problem. Image sizes aren't showing in the javascript. The path to your images that AI is looking for is a combination of things in your /includes/configure.php and your image name. show me your defines for DIR_FS_CATALOG DIR_WS_IMAGES AND the image path saved in one of the two products you posted (Admin -> Catalog -> Edit Product). for the alignment problem, it one of those oddities of IE. try removing the following segment of the line from your product_info.php that is between <!-- // BOF: Additional Images --><!-- // EOF: Additional Images --> align="<?php echo ADDIMAGES_TABLE_ALIGNMENT; ?>" we can fix an alignment problem later if that helps.

fijiislander Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 :blink: Surfalot or Kymation I noticed that Kymation has posted "More Pics 2.01" in the "Additional Images" contribution. I believe this is an update to More Pics rather than Additional Images - correct? Question: The package "More Pics 2.01" by Kymation seems to be very similar to "Additional Images v2.1.0" by Surfalot. What are the relavent differences now? The More Pics contribution was not origionally a separate database table. Compliments to both programmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
