attribute pop up images

[quillowmania]

Hello,

I have searched long and hard for attribute image pop up, but the only links I have found don't seem to be working. I have read and re-read the instructions, but have come to the conclusion that they don't work with 1.3.7.
I have also read many threads where users wanted such a feature.

So I have decided to reprogam it myself. I am not a programmer, so the code is not really pretty, but here is how it works.

If you added attribute images the program will now look for larger attribute images in the /images/medium/attributes folder. The image filename has to be in this format: imageName_MED.ext. imageName is whatever the attribute images name is. ext is whatever the attribute image file extension is.
If the MED image is found it will automatically create a link that when clicked opens a window displaying the larger image in a window that is automatically sized to the picture size. It also adds "Click to Enlarge" above the picture.

If it doesn't find a MED picture, no link is generated.

if you'd like to check it out, please go to my website, www.quillowmania.com.
The link will take you to the correct location to demo the attributes. Look towards the bottom of the page where it says "Select Bib Design"

The attachment only contains two files. Copy them to your webserver to the appropriate spots. I don't know if it works with any version other than zen-cart 1.3.7.

My hero! Hey, where do these two files go? I get that the javascript file goes here...

- YOUR_CATALOG > includes > templates > YOUR_TEMPLATE > jscript

...but the attributes.php looks like you have it going into...

- YOUR_CATALOG > modules > YOUR_TEMPLATE

...which doesn't seem right. Any ideas?

This is the most promising thread I have found thus far... attribute pop up images

[quillowmania]

You are correct.
I forgot to stick the modules folder into the includes folder.
The correct patch is
YOUR_CATALOG > includes > modules > YOUR_TEMPLATE > attributes.php

I re-created the zip file and the paths should be correct now.

Sorry for the delayed response.

BTW, I don't currently have this enabled at my store, so you won't see an example right now. Not because it wasn't working, I just didn't have time to create attribute pictures yet.

Hurray! It's works. At first I thought it wasn't, but I just had to change the layout of my attributes. Apparently it only works when the image style is set to "0= Images Below Option Names"

As of now, I have it up and working at the below link. I took out the text "click to enlarge" simply because I am going to have many options and I wanted to save space.

I'm not following you on this one. Where do I set that option?

[cheezylu]

In your administration under...

Catalog > Option Name Manager

Then click "Edit" on any of the attributes and type "0" in the text box titled "Attribute Style for Radio Buttons/Checkbox".

So, I'm making progress!

Here is what I have now: http://xmxbx.com/cart/index.php?main...roducts_id=211

Things I'm concerned about:

1: includes/modules/my_template/attributes.php

                                        //find med size attribute images. location must be in /images/medium/attributes and image name must be image_MED.ext


                                        $array_filename = split("[/\\.]", $products_options->fields['attributes_image']) ;
                                        $filename = $array_filename[count($array_filename)-2];
                                        $extension = '.'.$array_filename[count($array_filename)-1];
                                        $filename = $filename.'_MED';
                                        $path = DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'medium/attributes/';
                                        $attribute_image_med = $path . $filename. $extension;

I had to remove the / before "medium/attributes" because it was changing the javascript to:

javascript:popImage('images//medium/attributes/crownheartskull-ts-grey_MED.jpg', 'Large View')

(note the double //'s)

So, the links are created on the images, but when you click them, nothing happens. You can load the images if you type in the path manually, so file permissions are good.

I was looking over your code, and I see that you use popWindow, as opposed to popImage. Yours also seems to use a full image path, where mine uses relative paths... No idea if that relevant, though.


Any ideas?

[krullkar]

Oops - I got confused. I was looking at the baby clothing, not the puppy stuff

Cheez - your stuff uses the double //'s and works, so I put mine back to the default.

I have to be missing something simple here.
