John and Connor,
Thank you very much for all of the hard work you've put into this forum. I think I've read all of it (over a few days, hopefully I didn't miss anything crucial to solving my problem). Warning: I'm fairly new to PHP and MySQL (but excited about learning it).

Firstly, I'm running:
PHP 5.2.17
I'm not sure how to find the MySQL version
working in Firefox
Zen 1.3.9h
fresh install, no mods or add-ons

But, I'd love to install this mod! I first tried to install the version for zen 1.3.8 on my 1.3.9h and had no luck (I quadruple checked everything and edited tpl_product_info_display.php). When I ran into trouble, I started working my way through the forum and found the more recent version of ais that you posted, John (thanks!).

As I'm starting a new shop anyhow, I figured it made sense to start the install of the updated version after a fresh zen install. So, starting with the fresh install, no other mods added, I installed ais for 1.3.9h. But, it didn't work. I get the endless spinning wheel:

I've gone through everything at least three times. I've checked the code changes in tpl_product_info_display.php ,and didn't see anything weird (not that I would recognize weird). The bits I had previously had to change by hand, were already changed (thanks again John!).

I wonder, maybe I'm doing something wrong on the admin side? How does ais work with the image config menu? Does it override it, or do they need to agree, do either the width or height need to be left blank? Do I upload a medium sized main product image and then do the attribute or additional images in the image stacker manager? Or do I not upload an image on the product creation page at all?

I'm actually not using different attributes. I'm a metalsmith; I fabricate silver jewelry. I need to show multiple detailed shots of the each item (front details, back, full-view, clasp operation, sometimes close-ups of stone settings). From the manager options, it appears that you can turn off attributes and just use additional images, which is what I'm counting on. But, I did go ahead and try it setup with each image as an attribute, just to see if that would work. I've been trying every setting permutation I can think of. I know Zen is talking to my database. Just not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong in admin or in the code, or if I just need to install a different version of zen. If that is the case I guess I have to step back to 1.3.8? I want my shop to go live soon, and from the sounds of it 1.5 isn't stable yet, right?

Other things I've tried:
-putting AJAX_servers folders (and it's file) in includes and in my template
-changing what folders I told ais manager to upload my images to. (/images , /images/large , /images/medium , /images/attributes)
-clearing my cache after each thing I tried, before reloading my product info page.

Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can provide. I realize any help I receive here come from donated time and energy, and I appreciate it!

Alex
