AJAX Image Swapper Basic Support

[credible]

What happened to the demo-sites, Jay?

Oh, and by the way, I can't quite get the hold of this. Not used to configuring attributes, groups, values etc. And btw, could the fact that I use Norwegian language on the zencart have anything to say?

Ahg, I upgraded my site, and the demosites were deleted accidentally, thanks for letting me know.

I am quite happy to announce v.1.0.3, with this it is even easier to upgrade. If you only have AJAX Image Swapper (basic or premium) and / or AJAX Banner Swapper installed in your Zen-Cart.

Now prior to upgrading you can just overwrite all your Zen-Cart files with the upgraded version, without worrying they would overwrite the module(s)

I have just uploaded it so it will take some time for them to review and confirm the update.

Ok I guess I'll explain a bit about attributes.

Look at my attachment file diagram.jpg.

One product may have several option names & option values, the connection between option names & values is what we call "an attribute".

Say for example, a product "Cool T-Shirt" has 2 option names: Size & Model.

The "XL Size" or "B Model" are the attributes of "Cool T-Shirt". AJAX Image Swapper basically set up different sets of images for the attributes of your choice. In the diagram I use the "model" attribute (since it doesn't make sense to have different images on different sizes, isn't it?)

You can set your product attributes by:
1. go to Catalog - Option Name Manager to set up option names.
2. go to Catalog - Option Value Manager to set up option values.
3. go to Catalog - Attributes Controller to set up product attributes.

Then after you got the attributes ready, you can then set up the images for each attribute.

Good Luck

Tried to download the new script, but it's not on Zen Cart's site.

I went to your site and tried to checkout, but there was an error. I sent you an email with the details.

And I may be doing something wrong, but I only see a maximum of three images. I see in the CSS< there's an 'arrow' but it doesn't seem to show for me

Yes the new script hasn't been confirmed yet.

Fixed the error, looks like there are some problems with Core FTP. Time to buy a real FTP client I guess...

The right and left arrows are available only in commercial mode. Image Swapper Basic was the early version of the mod that doesn't have all the fancy functions (image titles and navigational arrows, for example).

However you can edit the code so it can show more than 3 images. Try this
1. Open the file includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_imageViewer.js
2. Find this line:

for (i=0; i<item_node.length && i < 3; i++) {

3. Replace "3" with the number of images you want to show
4. OR it is way easier to just purchase the commercial version :)

The update has been activated.

I'll wait until I get approval and then we'll buy it.

I'm new to Zen and this was the key to choosing this cart, the least I can do is buy the premium version.

Again, thanks so much for the contribution!

I have noticed an undocumented feature, which may be unique to me.

Regular images don't show in the product info display. If I don't add pictures with the Swapper, then no images display in the product. I add a single image to swapper and the image displays on the product info page. I tried playing around with else and if statements, but I'm not that talented.


And I have this mod working with:
SEO URLs
Image Handler
Column Grid
Stock by Attributes
FEC
Improved Attributes Controller


I had to tweak around some settings, but other than the image no showing on product info display without loading image into swapper, everything works great!

Whoa you actually tested that?
Thanks a lot mate!

It was done like that on purpose, I'm afraid. With my websites, I only uploaded small, thumbnail pics for the product info, and the three picture sizes for each image on the swapper.

But that should be an easy fix. I will fix it by adding an if statement on product_info page, if there are no image for the shown product, then show the default zen-cart image screen. Stay tuned for the next update (maybe sometimes tomorrow)
