Main Image Replacer (MIR) Contrib - Official Thread

[qhome]

Main Image Replacer is a simple override that will check your product description for an override command and will use the specified data/image to replace the main image. If there is no override, it will appear as normal.

It's easy to use:
- Simply upload the file path to your server
- Edit the product description (text-mode)
- Add these tags <!--| |-->
- Any data in between those tags will be used in place of the main image.

Supports HTML, Text, Flash, etc.

This is interesting...

If I put a URL to call an image from an external site, will it do that? EG:

<!--|http://www.anywebsite.com/images/product-image.jpg|-->

Is it possible to add additional images as well?
It would be nice if yes)
P.S. It a great thing to make zencart more look "Web 2.0-friendly"! Thank you!

That is exactly correct. Image, flash, iframe, anything.

Currently only works with the main image. Its not really Web2.0.. doesn't use Ajax or anything. It's really just php replacing the variable value with your custom value if it exists.

It is a fundamental of my TPP contrib and the concept could pretty much be used to replace anything via user defined tags from within the product description.

This is a very simple mod, but may be a LIFESAVER for me if it works!

I have thousands of preview GIF images, and all my Large images are .JPEG...

I will probably be forced to use dummy .jpg main images, so I can link the correct JPEG large images...

Then I can just override the dummy jpg main image with the correct GIF... and VIOLA... I have a gif preview with a jpeg large image

I'll follow up here after I install this!

Has anyone gotten this to work? Is there a similar module available somewhere? My goal is to offer 360 views of certain products in my store. They are available via a link from my supplier's web site. Please help!

Ok, I was able to get this mod to work, but am having a couple of issues. Hopefully they can be worked out. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. :)

What I wanna do: I'm attempting to pull in images from an external site via specific links/URLs.

What's happening:

1. When I add the text and tags to the description, it seems to only work for certain types of images. For instance, it doesn't work for the flash 360 images (ex link: http://www.website.com/img/products/...Z-120&cid=DVSS). But it works for the standard/static images (ex link: http://www.website.com/img/products/...KEZ-120&id=591). I really need to link to the flash images for these products.

2. When it works for the standard/static images, it pulls them in, but I lose the functionality that allows a larger image to be displayed. The "view larger image" link is gone and the picture is just there. How can this be fixed?

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
