Image Titles Support Thread

[gjh42]

Image Titles and Categories Dressing will not interfere with each other and can be used at the same time.

For v1.3.7 you need to use Image Titles v1.1 - some of the base files are different in v1.2 for v1.3.8 and will cause errors in v1.3.7.

In general, you can make a text replacement image the same size as the heading it is going in. Sometimes you may want to make it a bit smaller.

The code that makes Image Titles work is quite simple, and can be adapted to many situations.

$title = (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif') ? zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif') : $title); 

Change $title, '/boxhead-' and $box_id to fit the conditions.

There may be situations where the output is controlled directly by a zen function and this code cannot be inserted neatly.

Excellent MOD! Worked like a charm, if you remember to name your graphic with 'boxhead-' in the first place =)

Thank you for this...

With the release schedule announcement for Zen Cart v2.0, I want to confirm that I will be keeping Image Titles up to date with core code. I don't expect any change in mod functionality. The required adaptation should be minimal, so that the new version can be released soon after the final ZC v2.0 release.

The image filename for each sidebox needs to include the name (id) of the sidebox.

The categories box has an id of categories, so its image file will be named boxhead-categories.gif.

ok I've tried and goes in english language.
The question is where do I find the name (id) of the sidebox?

[gjh42]

You can use a different image for each language; the code automatically uses the image that matches the current language in the shop. When the customer has selected Italian, the code will look for a file in /includes/templates/your_template/buttons/italian/.

To find the name of any sidebox, you can do a view source and look at the HTML that is being output. For Categories, look for the set of category links in the code, and note at the top of that list:
<div id="categories">

The id stays the same no matter the language in use, so you would use the same filename for images in any language. They should be saved in the appropriate language folder in /buttons/.

sorry but also for the image that goes I don't understand.

If i view the code of page it looks
<div class="leftBoxContainer" id="categories" style="width: 150px">
<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="categoriesHeading"><img src="includes/templates/sugar/buttons/english/boxhead-categories.gif" alt="" width="100" height="20" /></h3>
<div id="categoriesContent" class="sideBoxContent">
<hr id="catBoxDivider" />
i have insert copying by you
boxhead-categories.gif but where I saw that I have to insert boxhead before image.gif?

thank you for patience

[gjh42]

You have boxhead-categories.gif saved in
includes/templates/sugar/buttons/english/boxhead-categories.gif, but not in includes/templates/sugar/buttons/italian/boxhead-categories.gif.

If you want the same image for both languages, just copy the file into the other language's /buttons/language/ folder.

If you want different images for each language, save each one with the same name, but in the correct language folder.

sorry, i didn't understand before.
So it is alwaysthe word BOXHEAD and the id of box?

It was if is always word boxhead.

Thank you very much
