[Done v1.3.9e] Additional Product Images increases dramaticaly parse time

[franekz]

Hi. I an using 1.3.9.c. New installation on shared Red hat server.
Site is a bookstore. more than 29000 acticve products, more than 59000 in the database. 65000 pictures in images folder.

I had parse time when shop was displaying product information from 25 to 45 seconds. After I have commented tpl_modules_additional_images.php parse time is 0.7sec.

I dont need this module (have only 1 picture of a book) but I thing that i should report it.

Thanks for the update ... on how you handled this ...

I am looking at the code and this could probably utilize the switch setting in the Catalog ... Product Types ... EDIT LAYOUT ...

Show Product Additional Images
Display Additional Images on Product Info 0= off 1= on

Hi,
You are definitely right, but using correct switch doesn't change the problem (module is too slow - 20sec to parse ).

Thanks

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/additional_images.php

And change the line on 19 to:

if ($products_image != '' && $flag_show_product_info_additional_images != 0) {

Does it listen to that switch better and speed things up?

I didn't make the above change because I wouldn't know whether it sped it up or not but if you can include this change if it does speed things up into the "E" version that would be awesome.

My "perception" is that things have speed up with setting additional pictures to 0.

Thanks!
