Image Titles Support Thread

[giuly]

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

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

That is correct: boxhead-boxid.gif.

boxhead-categories.gif,boxhead-search.gif, boxhead-manufacturers.gif...

Let me see if I understand this correctly...

This is the code in the tpl_box_default_left.php
$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') : $title);
if ($title_link) {
if (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $box_id . '.gif')) {
$title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . '</a>';
} else {
$title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';
}


I viewed my source and this is what I found.
<td id="navColumnOne" class="columnLeft" style="width: 150px">
<div id="navColumnOneWrapper" style="width: 150px"><!--// bof: categories //-->
<table width="150px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="leftbox" id="categories-table">
<tr class="leftboxheading" id="categories-heading-tr">
<!-- Sidebox Header -->
<td colspan="3" width="100%" class="leftboxheading" id="categories-heading-td">Products</td>
</tr>
<tr>

In a previous post I read
Change $title, '/boxhead-' and $box_id to fit the conditions. But that’s where I get confused. Is this even close to being right? I'm not sure what '/boxhead-' refers to.

$categories = (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $categories-heading-tr. 'boxhead-categories.gif') ? zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $categories-heading-tr. 'boxhead-categories.gif') : $categories);
if ($categories_link) {
if (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $ categories-heading-tr. ' boxhead-categories.gif ')) {
$categories = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($categories_link) . '">' . $categories . '</a>';
} else {
$categories = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($categories_link) . '">' . $categories . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';
}

Or am I so far off that you are chuckling at my attempt to make these edits. :)

$categories = (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $categories-heading-tr. 'boxhead-categories.gif') ? zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $categories-heading-tr. 'boxhead-categories.gif') : $categories);
if ($categories_link) {
if (file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'buttons/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/boxhead-' . $ categories-heading-tr. ' boxhead-categories.gif ')) {
$categories = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($categories_link) . '">' . $categories . '</a>';
} else {
$categories = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($categories_link) . '">' . $categories . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';
}

Is this code even close to being correct? If not, can someone assist me with the correct edits? Thanks!

You shouldn't need to edit tpl_categories.php to get Image Titles to work on the categories sidebox. Have you installed the mod files and created and named the image?

<table width="150px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="leftbox" id="categories-table">

This indicates that you are using a very old version of Zen Cart (v1.2.x?), as v1.3.x doesn't use tables for most layout. It might also be a very old categories sidebox mod.
I haven't tested Image Titles on v1.2 and don't know if it will work correctly. You really should upgrade if this is the case.

Hi Glenn

Really sorry and I know I am having a major senior moment here but I just can't work out how to code this, even following the good instructions.

I am using the cherry_zen template. I am running v1.3.8a os zen-cart.

If I wish to replace the Search heading with an image, I have created an image named headbox-search.gif and I have uploaded that into the /includes/templates/cherry_zen/buttons/english directory:

Next I have looked at the page source and can see that the correct ID is 'search' - I think!!

Now I am unsure how to alter the code you have suppllied for my tpl_box_default_left.php. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing is showing on the site.

Can you please post what my code should look like - I know it's a lot to ask but I am stuck.
