AJAX Image Swapper Basic Support

[jaycode]

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

Whoa you actually tested that?
Thanks a lot mate!

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!

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)

Hi, following that message, here I post how to make your product info page able to switch between AIS and normal Zen-Cart view. I don't include this as an update since this method would make installation steps a bit harder, which I really don't want to do.

Here it goes:

1. Go to your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_ajax_image_viewer.php file, cut this line of code from there:

   <?php
   include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'AJAX_image_swapper.php');
   ?>

2. Then go to tpl_product_info_display.php file, and paste that code block on top of the page
3. find:

   require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_ajax_image_viewer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_ajax_image_viewer.php');?>

   replace it with:

   if ($opt_id_used == null) 
      require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php');
   else    
      require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_ajax_image_viewer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_ajax_image_viewer.php');?>

4. find:

     require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_ajax_image_swapper_attr.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_ajax_image_swapper_attr.php'); ?>

   replace it with:

   if ($opt_id_used == null) 
     require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_attributes.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_attributes.php');
   else    
     require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_ajax_image_swapper_attr.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_ajax_image_swapper_attr.php'); ?>

Cheers,

Works beautifully, but that's no surprise.

To make it all the pages look the same, whether that page is using AIS or IM2

go to OUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php and change the div ID to the one you're using for AIS,

Change the div to that of the AIS div. Then in Admin>Images, change the Product Info - Image Width to 300 and change the Info Product Info - Image Height to 380

Viola!

All your product images in AIS or regular look great!



I'm still trying to get AIS to take images from IM2, but I've gotten nowhere so far, if I get something working, I'll let you know

[jaycode]

And I haven't even tried IM2 heheh

(btw shouldn't it be abbreviated IH ->Image Handler?o.O)

[osdude]

yes, I think so - doh!

I'm new to Zen, and I kept calling it image manipulator.

not enough coffee or sleep

[jaycode]

Both for me heheh this few days been sleeping over 2am lol.

Great Script!!!! If only I could use it.. hehe

On the admin panel, when I go to Catalogo >> Image Swapper Manager i don't have the category option...

Is there a reason for that?

Cheers,
