Best Seller's Scrolling Images - support thread

[chaiavi]

This is the official support thread for the "Best Seller's Scrolling Images" plugin.

This plugin enables the following upgrades to the best seller's sidebox:
- Added the image
- Removed the numbering
- Display of the product name is beside the image (and not under image)
- Image display uses zen-cart image function (if you use Image Handler, it will be used here as well)
- Product price displayed using a zen-cart function (will also show currency changes and specials pricing)


In a nutshell - it scrolls the best sellers and adds needed info (price) to the sidebox.

This plugin was designed to be simple and without any special JS or AJAX technology, it uses a simple marquee tag.

I tried your nice module but no image is shown in the sidebox. Only the default : no_picture.gif !

What am i missing ?

[chaiavi]

The bestseller sidebox shows your existing products.

Do the products it shows there have pictures?

[takisd]

Yes, they do have images.

But something strange is happening.

I tried to debug the result of : tpl_best_sellers.php , by adding some echo commands :

echo 'imgLink : ' . $imgLink .'<br/>';    
echo "\n" ;
echo zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($bestsellers_list[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $bestsellers_list[$i]['id']) .'<br/>';    
echo "\n" ;
echo zen_get_products_display_price($bestsellers_list[$i]['id']) .'<br/>'.'<br/>'; 

and everything is OK, except the image file ! It only returns the default image folder ( i.e images/ )

You can seet the Results below :

imgLink : images/
http://example.com/store/index.php?m...roducts_id=191
€18,00

imgLink : images/
http://example.com/store/index.php?m...roducts_id=189
€13,60

imgLink : images/
http://example.com/store/index.php?m...roducts_id=181
€20,00

Any ideas ?

[takisd]

Adding also this line :

 echo  'bestsellers_list['.$i.'][image] : ' .  $bestsellers_list[$i]['image'] ; 

returns empty results ( ! ) :

bestsellers_list[1][image] :
bestsellers_list[2][image] :
bestsellers_list[3][image] :

Hi Takisd,

Please look at the other file you have in the bestseller package, it's in the modules directory.

Look at line #68 - that is the place where the image name is being populated.


Please debug that place and keep us posted.



BTW - good debugging work till now

I have just installed this add on to my site and it is working only, the product images are not showing. The only image showing is the default no_picture.gif. Also, my items are on sale and it is cutting off the sale price. You can see the whole thing. Here is my store: http://rockmyworldwg.com/

Just installed this mod - Working great just a little too wide for my sidebox. I will see if I can adjust! Great Mod!

@blackriver what Zen Cart version did you install to, 1.5? I am looking to install this on 1.5 and was wondering if it works.

Thanks

[chaiavi]

I don't have 1.5, please try it and tell us if it works
