Attribute images are not showing.

[rweeks]

This seems really basic, but for the life of my I can't get them to display.
On the product, the radio buttons are showing, but not the images.

Here is my set up:
In Admin-> Enable Attribute images is set to TRUE
Option name: moulding
Option values: float1, float2, float3, float4,
Images names: Images are in Attribute folder
moulding_float1.jpg
moulding_float2.jpg
moulding_float3.jpg
moulding_float4.jpg

What am I missing to connect the images to the options????
Thanks

If you switch to Classic Template do the images appear?

[rweeks]

Don't know. I do not have the classic template uploaded. I removed it from the file structure.

[rweeks]

Added Classic back to offline/localhost site. Images still do not appear.
Here is screen captue of Attribute Controller (offline site).




Anything here look incorrect?

Thanks

Nope ... just the one icon ... if an image is on the Attribute you see the gold dot ... if no image then you see nothing ...

If your template has been altered and removed the attribute images then they will not show ...

[rweeks]

If I may start from the basics... How do I attach and image to an attribute?
Were should I check the template for the attribute image?

[Ajeh]

In the Attributes Controller ... when you Add or Edit an Attribute you will see it listed:

Attributes Image Swatch:
Attributes Image Directory:

If you do not see these, then look in the Configuration ... Attribute Settings ... and see what you have enabled or disabled and check:

Enable Attribute Images
Enable the Attributes Images.

true
false

Bug in Attribute Controller?
I added the image names manually to the database
table: products_attributes
field: attributes_image

This worked and the attribute images displayed (worked on both local and hosted sites).
However, when I then go to Attribute Controller and try to edit the image name, it does not change. When I delete the attribute and use insert to add attribute with image. The image does not save, but the rest of the information does (do doesn't appear to be a database permission issue).

Could there be a bug in the Attribute Controller?
I checked that attributes_controller.php has not been changed. File still has Date Modified as 4/8/2007.

Problem is same on local and hosted site. Happens with both IE and Firefox.

Once again, thanks for the great support

Do you have the images directory set to the right permissions of 777? The default directory is:
/images/attributes

[rweeks]

I think it is much more basic than directory names and permissions.

From the Attributes controller, when using the Insert to add a new attribute, all the information writes to the database expect the attribute image name.

When I modify attributes_controller.php (in Admin) to remove the IF statements and get down to just the 2 lines that set the variable.
And then remove the attributes_image input and hardcode some text for the image file name.
Then the attributes_image field is written to in the database - and is what I would expect "attributes/filename.jpg".

Around line 227

//          if (isset($_POST['attributes_image']) && zen_not_null($_POST['attributes_image']) && ($_POST['attributes_image'] != 'none')) {
            $attributes_image = "filename.jpg"; //zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['attributes_image']);
 //         } else {
 //           $attributes_image = '';
 //         }

 //         $attributes_image = new upload('attributes_image');
 //         $attributes_image->set_destination(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $_POST['img_dir']);
 //         if ($attributes_image->parse() && $attributes_image->save($_POST['overwrite'])) {
           $attributes_image_name = $_POST['img_dir'] . $attributes_image ->filename;
  //        } else {
   //         $attributes_image_name = (isset($_POST['attributes_previous_image']) ? $_POST['attributes_previous_image'] : '');
    //      }

I change one line from

$attributes_image = "filename.jpg"; //zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['attributes_image']);

TO:

$attributes_image zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['attributes_image']);

And the Attributes Image Swatch input in Admin Attribute Control no longer is inserted into the attributes_image filed.
What is in the field: "attributes/"
What is expected: "attributes/filename.jpg"

By the way, tried "Updating" versus "Inserting". The attributes_image field still does not change.

Working down through the commented sections of code. Nothing changes until I uncomment the last if statement:

        if ($attributes_image->parse() && $attributes_image->save($_POST['overwrite'])) {
           $attributes_image_name = $_POST['img_dir'] . $attributes_image->filename;
          } else {
            $attributes_image_name = (isset($_POST['attributes_previous_image']) ? $_POST['attributes_previous_image'] : '');
          }

With this code uncommented, nothing is written to the attributes_image field of the database. I had "overwrite" = NO

I think I am at my limit of figuring out the code. Any other ideas?
