AJAX IMAGE Swapper support thread

[john4]

That's just a css thing at this point. You can edit the styles_AJAX_image_file.css to fix that. Specifically if you change #image_viewer to a width of around 390px and give #image_nav_container some padding-top of around 145px.

The thumb nails are a different story... I've actually been struggling with that one myself. Those go in the .back class which is controlled by stylesheet.css and the image_small class of the AJAX style sheet. For some reason they always get assigned a width and height of 75px which is why I thought there was a database bug a while ago. Turns out the database does get the correct configuration values but it always gets 75 by 75. I'm looking into it and will let you know when I figure it out

Thank you man.It is OK.

I've been playing with the module and I think that the problem is than when I upload images with ajax, as they have the same file name as the ones previously uploaded, the product listing image is overwritten by a small one.

If I then upload the same image with IH2 the product listing miniaturization is fixed, and the quality of the ajax images improve (images are overwritten).

The trouble is that this process of uploading an re-uploading images for each product is slow and tedious.

I though about two different image filenames for AIS and IH2, but then the quality of AIS images is not good and I still have to upload images two times.
Is there any way to improve th quality of AIS images? I don't know why the compression is so low in my page.

I don't know a lot about php or sql, so I don't know if there is some error with the scripting. I've send you a PM with all my data so that you can take a look at my site.

Thank you Jay.

Got it! Just read your PM, will do something over the weekend, as I implied on my reply

Hmmm, we aren't redeclaring anything here, although the file I edited came from 3.1.2 but I believe they are the same between versions. I dropped the new file in my install with 3.1.1 and had no issues. Where are you getting that error; admin, frontend, after trying to add an image?

All I did was change how the ratio was calculated. Originally it was this:

$zoom = $width / $currheight; 

and I changed it to this:

$zoom = $height / $currheight; 

You might open you original file and replace line 38 with the second line above and try it that way. It does work (at least for me )

Look at your images though... Your large size is 440 x 514 for a (w:h) ratio of .85, however your medium is 308 x 420 for a ratio of .73.

So what we have is 420/514 = .81 and .81 * 440 for 359. 359/420 = .85 just like 440/514. Maybe I'm missing something, (I think this does assume that your AIS config has 359 and 420 as your medium image dimensions). Especially since landscape images are calculated by taking $width / $currwidth and that's working, which is what I believe Jay meant to do for portrait images.

Give it a shot and let us know what happens...

Thanks for this Greydawgjr! Could you amend the change and upload the updated module to contribution under our name please!

It can't be helped can it? Okay then I think now is the time to work on this module again...

By the way, I have uploaded the new version, if you have any problem with images not appearing, try the new one!

To uninstall, revert back everything you do during installation, and run the DROP query in the sql_installer.sql. It doesn't change any of the core files so uninstallation shouldn't be that hard.

I haven't thought of anything for zoom in...

Hi - Can you be a little more clear about how to uninstall the sql - I can see the UNINSTALLATION text in the SQL but do not know exactly how to implement and from what point.

Thanks!

Just copy paste the lines started with DROP on sql file to your sql installer page. Remove the files you copied during installation. Well you don't actually have to remove everything you can just remove everything under modules/pages/product_info/ and revert back the lines you changed in tpl_product_info_page.php everything should go back to normal.

Hmmm... The SQL install failed. Should I just be running this?

-- DROP TABLE products_attributes_images;

-- SET @t4=0;
-- SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
-- FROM configuration_group
-- WHERE configuration_group_title= 'AJAX Image Swapper';
-- DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
-- DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

Thanks

I think you need all of this:

UNINSTALLATION
SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Fual Slimbox';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

DROP TABLE products_attributes_images;

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'AJAX Image Swapper';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4; 

Those double dashes are commented out lines, I uncommented them in the code above...

OK, here we go, everything works great, I'm just trying to make some changes so it fits my template a little more.

1. I tried changing the size of AIS from the admin. It didn't seem to work, so I am assuming I have to alter the code, correct? I can change the image size but not the whole frame.

2. Same with the frames around the small images.

3. Is there a way to completly not use the large image? What I'm getting at is I dont even want the customer to be able to click on my image. Is there a way to disable this feature?

Thanks and thanks for the mod as well.

[Oakwood]

OK, #1 & 2 were not that hard, a couple of changes to the Ajax Image Swapper css code, but most importantly, the images had to be re-uploaded, which I was overlooking.

Thanks - That looks to have done the trick
