Record Company image

[swortis]

Anyone know how to get record company icons to appear? While there's a field to enter an image in Admin/Extras/Record Companies, I cannot see anywhere to actually turn the image on..

Actually I'd love to have the record company logo be the link in the "product URL".

Currently that area in tpl_product_music_info_display.php reads:

<!--bof Product URL -->
<?php
  if (zen_not_null($products_record_company_url)) {
    if ($flag_show_product_music_info_record_company == 1) {
?>
    <li id="productInfoLink"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_record_company_url), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?></li>
<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_record_company
  }
?>
<!--eof Product URL -->

I've tried a number of ideas to call up products_record_company_image, but have not succeeded.

Any idea would be awesome. Thanks!

You should be able to get the name of the image with:
$record_company->fields['record_company_image']

Seems like the logical place (i.e. least desctructive to the original code) to change that might be /includes/langues/english/product_music_info.php?

And then change the definition of TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL to something like:

define('TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL', '<a href="%s">' . zen_image($record_company->fields['record_company_image']) . '</a>.');

Alas, not working. The image is not appearing. Don't I need a 'require' function in there or something?

(I apologize for being such a php and SQL spaz..)

Actually, I just noticed that the 'record artist url' (web site for the recording artist, added in the Admin control panel) also has no way of being shown either.. And.. come to think of it... neither can the artist picture.....

I do believe the the Product Music addition is in need of tweeks.

I was rather noticing that too ...

The fields are available but not in the variable format like the others ...

Look in the /pages/product_music__infp/header_php

  $products_record_company_url = $record_company_info->fields['record_company_url'];

Probably a number of (better) ways of doing this, but I went with:

Changed the Product URL area in [my template]/templates/tpl_product_music_info.php to:

<!--bof Product URL -->

<?php
  if (zen_not_null($products_record_company_url)) {
    if ($flag_show_product_music_info_record_company == 1) {
?>
<?php echo sprintf('<a href="' . TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_record_company_url), 'NONSSL', true, false) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $record_company->fields['record_company_image']) . '</a>'); ?>

<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_record_company
  }
?>

<!--eof Product URL -->

And then changing the define TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL line in /includes/languages/english/product_music-info.php, to:

define('TEXT_RECORD_COMPANY_URL', '%s');

And viola, now every music product indeed shows the record company logo which links to their web site.

Thanks for sharing the solution that works for you ...

hi
I am still looking for finding the reason of adding images for artist and recorrding company for music products if there is no place that you can show them?

anyway that we can show their images on the pages? the explanation above was not enough to get solve yhis problem.
please if somebody wants to give solution, write it complete that be understandable for everybody.

I could get the image of record company on the product music info.
I could make a line to show the product artist url and also its image which is hyperlinked to its url. the problem is that the image of artist does not been displayed?
I checked the table of record artists and fields therein, and there is an image in the fields of this table for a defined artists, but on page it displays "image not available.gif)

any idea about the reason:

this is what I put in tpl_product_music_info_display.php

<?php echo sprintf('<a href="' . TEXT_ARTIST_IMAGE_URL, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_artist_url), 'NONSSL', true, false) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $record_artists->fields['artists_image']). '</a>'); ?>

Where are you building the data for obtaining: $record_artists->fields['artists_image']
