dreamscape Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 What does it do? I absolutely loved the idea of the MoPics contribution, but adding 16 images in the admin section for each product grew rather tedious. I noticed that all of my images followed a pattern, so I wrote this code. Now only ONE image is needed to be defined in the admin. The rest of the images will appear on the product_info.php page if they exsist. Please not you do not have to follow my naming scheme. You can come up with your own variations, as the script is flexible in that way. Mine is just an example to follow. More on the naming scheme later. For now let's install it. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Quote The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamscape Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 version 1.21 is up now. there were some problems discovered with v1 for some users... main thing being that most users probably have their main thumb in images/ and not images/thumbs. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Quote The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 after working with several people on different problems they were having, Dynamic MoPics v2.0 is here! Why jump to version 2.0? The code has been very much optimized for much much faster parsing time. v2.0 also conatins all previous bug fixes in versions 1.0 - 1.21 MAX_DISPLAY_THUMBS is now obsolete. you are only limited by how many extra thumbs u think you can handle making ;) The display code will only be run based on how many extra thumbs it finds rather than MAX_DISPLAY_THUMBS. *Note* if upgrading, just overwrite the popup_image and dynamic_mopics files http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Quote The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karcher Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi I'm installing v2.01 on MS1 and I am having problems displaying the images, my popup window comes back empty. I've checked through all the steps and can't find the problem. Did anyone else have similar problems? Quote K .....................................................................

karcher Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 All sorted now, thanks. Silly mistake :oops: (of course), had the big image as the main product images in the database.

barf Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I installed the Mopoics 2.1 version on the the 2/17/03 snapshot and am not getting it to work. It does display "coming soon!" in the product info page. Cant get it to display images though. Is there a SQL database that was suppose to come with this or what? Im at the end of my rope with this contribution and after reading many posts that go unanswered it seems many others as well. If u have the time to help me out i would greatly appreciate it, and so would others installing the new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karcher Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I followed the instructions and it worked. Just check that your images are where they should be, with the extension specified in the configure.php file (jpg is the default). The thumbs images are the ones displayed initially, when you click on the thumb then the images_big files are used. Make sure that the products table in the database has the url of the image correctly set as well. When I read the instructions properly it all worked like a dream. I think it's a great contribution, nice and simple! Quote K ..................................................................... When the going get's tough, the tough get going.

mars Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 my link is http://www.valvetech.com/sams/product_info...?products_id=30 The configure.php mo_pics is define('IN_IMAGE_BIGIMAGES','images_big/'); //directory inside catalog/images where your big images are stored define('IN_IMAGE_THUMBS', 'thumbs/'); //directory inside catalog/images where you mopic thumbs are stored.. define('MAIN_THUMB_IN_SUBDIR', [b]false[/b]); //if you store your main thumb in the above directory set this true. if its in the main image dir, set it false define('THUMBS_PER_ROW', '4'); define('MORE_PICS_EXT', '_screen'); define('BIG_PIC_EXT', ''); // this is if you name your big thumb like IMAGE_big.jpg, you would put '_big' here. otherwise leave it blank define('THUMB_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for the extra thumbnail images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) define('BIG_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for your big images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) I placed RMC1_scree1.jpg in both images and big_images and the results are same. When mouse are one the image is 1st image --- popup_image.php?pID=30' 2nd image --- popup_image.php?pID=30&pic=1' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 ok for starters in: define('MAIN_THUMB_IN_SUBDIR', [b]false[/b]); why are there 's around false?? that should just read: define('MAIN_THUMB_IN_SUBDIR', false); secondly http://www.valvetech.com/sams/images/image...mc1_screen1.jpg does not even exsist, so how can the module find it to show it if its not there?

dreamscape Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 did you replace popup_image.php with the one included in the contribution?? it does not look like it.

mars Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Thanks for quick response. 1. I try to highlited "false". It didn't work.. 2. I put the images back to big_images directory and uploaded popup_image.php again. It works.... :lol: I must be missed something... It's the contribution that I really needed as you see at the page. Thanks. again.. don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 don, very cool... I noticed almost right away when I went to your site and the 2nd popup showed the 1st thumbnail, it could not be the popup_image for the mopics, because the popup_image for the mopics will show the thumb for the extra pic clicked on if it cannot find the big image. and also the popup_image for my mopics is so that you can click on the image to close the popup, and at the time yours was not like that, so again, it had to be the wrong the popup_image... glad it works for ya now!

WebMistress Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 hi Josh, I am having a similar problom that was mentioned in a previous post - I could swear I have check and rechecked everything 4 times and still can't get my second image to appear. this is an adult video store - still in development - http://www.nastylittlestore.com/catalog/pr...products_id/137 // define dynamic mopics define('IN_IMAGE_BIGIMAGES','images_big/'); //directory inside catalog/images where your big images are stored define('IN_IMAGE_THUMBS', ''); //directory inside catalog/images where you mopic thumbs are stored.. define('MAIN_THUMB_IN_SUBDIR', false); //if you store your main thumb in the above directory set this true. if its in the main image dir, set it false define('THUMBS_PER_ROW', '1'); define('MAX_DISPLAY_THUMBS', '4'); define('MORE_PICS_EXT', '_pic'); define('BIG_PIC_EXT', ''); // this is if you name your big thumb like IMAGE_big.jpg, you would put '_big' here. otherwise leave it blank define('THUMB_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for the extra thumbnail images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) define('BIG_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for your big images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) any suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

dreamscape Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Venus, from the info you have given me, the 2nd thumb would be: http://www.nastylittlestore.com/catalog/im...AW2DVD_pic1.jpg but that image does not exsist, so the module cannot show it. the big image is there: http://www.nastylittlestore.com/catalog/im...AW2DVD_pic1.jpg But what you have defined the thumb to be, does not exist, so how can it show it?

WebMistress Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Josh, the back cover thumbs were still in /images/thumbs (which I couldnt get to work) so I moved everything into /images but still not working... I double checked to make sure the match to this one was in there. (we discovered we missed a couple) any suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beridox Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hi! Mm, now its my turn to try and get this to work. I have installed Dynamic MoPics v2.01,but i cant seem to get it to work. This is my includes/configure.php define('IN_IMAGE_BIGIMAGES','images_big/'); //directory inside catalog/images where your big images are stored define('IN_IMAGE_THUMBS', 'thumbs/'); //directory inside catalog/images where you mopic thumbs are stored.. define('MAIN_THUMB_IN_SUBDIR', false); //if you store your main thumb in the above directory set this true. if its in the main image dir, set it false define('THUMBS_PER_ROW', '4'); define('MORE_PICS_EXT', '_screen'); define('BIG_PIC_EXT', ''); // this is if you name your big thumb like IMAGE_big.jpg, you would put '_big' here. otherwise leave it blank define('THUMB_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for the extra thumbnail images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) define('BIG_IMAGE_TYPE', 'jpg'); //the extention for your big images (jpg, gif, bmp, png, etc...) I have change all the other files of course. My folders are catalogImages catalogImagesimages_big catalogImagesthumbs Where should i place the diffrent files and how? Could someone try to sort the things out for me, i be really happy :D ? (with a simple yes or no) The main thumbnail file goes in "images",because i have put false in my configure.php? Should this file be a thumbnail size? If a named the file image.jpg should the big image be named image.jpg and be in "images_big" folder (but be a full size picture?) My second image thumbnail should be placed in "thumbs" folder and be called image_pic1.jpg (and be a thumbnail size image)? And when you click this picture is should show the big picture named image_pic1.jpg (full size images) that i have in "images_big" folder? I only see "comming soon!" when i try to add a second pic, maybe because i have no clue of what picture to put where (yes i have read the "Now A word on the naming scheme" to many times but i still cant get it to work :cry: Thanks in advance. /Anneli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted May 7, 2003 Author Share Posted May 7, 2003 The main thumbnail file goes in "images",because i have put false in my configure.php?Should this file be a thumbnail size? that is correct. it goe sin just "images" since you set that to false. And yes it is a thumbnail size If a named the file image.jpg should the big image be named image.jpg and be in "images_big" folder (but be a full size picture?) yes My second image thumbnail should be placed in "thumbs" folder and be called image_pic1.jpg (and be a thumbnail size image)?And when you click this picture is should show the big picture named image_pic1.jpg (full size images) that i have in "images_big" folder? that is correct, however your configuration says other wise. you have MORE_PICS_EXT set as "_screen". if you are naming your images image_pic1.jpg, etc... you would want to set 'MORE_PICS_EXT' to '_pic'. I only see "comming soon!" when i try to add a second pic, maybe because i have no clue of what picture to put where (yes i have read the "Now A word on the naming scheme" to many times but i still cant get it to work you have everything in an ok place and named ok. You just have not set up the configuration correctly. 'MORE_PICS_EXT' should be '_pic' if that is what you are adding to the end of your extra images.

WebMistress Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 well I still didnt get mine to work, but I found an alternate solution. I changed the configuration to show only one thumb and changed the big_Images extension to _pic1 and so now when someone clicks on the front cover thumb image - the big back cover opens. I also changed the link below to read "Click for back cover" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Rayner Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Nice contrib :) Just for people with older snapshots you'll need to change $product_info to $product_info_values in dynamic_mopics.php hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
