Image Titles Support Thread

[gjh42]

Bugfix:

Symptom: New Products centerbox when in a category and not using image replacement shows only the category name, and not the "New Products for Month" text.

Solution: In /includes/modules/your_template/new_products.php, line 86, replace the . with , as shown:

title_image_exists(sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS . strftime('%B'))

title_image_exists(sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS, strftime('%B'))

This fix will be in v2.1, which I will submit as soon as I finish testing the flexible centerbox images.


I see you already found the bug:)

That new fix worked to bring back the New Products for the month text on the category pages, but it will not replace the text with the image on category page.

I have finished testing the new code for new_products.php, so I will attach a zip of the file for now. You can replace your copy with this one.

[Crunch]

ok, I uploaded the new file...

Now it's back to the text on main page (no image replacement) and on the category pages, it's still just text as well...

From the v2.1 readme:

Name your header title images centerboxhead-featured.gif, centerboxhead-new.gif, and centerboxhead-specials.gif and save in /your_template/buttons/your_language/.
If you want distinct images for the current month and category where applicable, name the images like centerboxhead-new-03.gif or centerboxhead-new-03-cat23.gif.
Replace 03 with the month number (01 = January) and 23 with the category id.


Other languages may have special characters like umlauts in month names; since I don't know if those could cause problems when used in filenames, I changed the filename code to use the month number instead of name.

Ah, didn't know you just now changed the image naming convention. I changed the image filename to reference the month in digit and it's working now. Image showing on both main page and category pages. Thanks for quick update.

I have installed this and it just isn't working for me. I can't even see the code for the image when I view the source. It is a freshly upgraded site, runnign 1.3.9h, with a custom template and all of the files loaded to the appropriate folders. Can you help?

Thanks!

The most likely cause if the files are in the correct places is image names, What titles are you trying to replace, and what are the filenames you are using?

[digidiva-kathy]

But it doesn't even show any image names at all in the source code...and, I did already change the file to reflect a .jpg instead of a .gif and the file name is boxhead-categories.jpg. I've only put one in to check and see if it worked and since I can't even see the code, I don't know for sure what to name the others, anyway...

[gjh42]

The title for the categories sidebox, then? That would be the correct filename; what folder did you save it in?

It might be helpful to post a copy of the actual define for filetype as it is now.
