ZJ Silver Support Thread

No need to apologise, good to see someone jump in with help & advice.
I hadn't played around with image handler much before today so was unsure of how to get it working with my jQuery themes at the start but didn't find any real issues.
I have it working on a new jQuery template here, http://zencart-jquery.com/zj-black
The only thing I don't like is the way ImageHandler names the images, I'd prefer them to be named with the product titles for SEO reasons, I might look into a solution to do this in the next week or two.
That template will be released as soon as jQuery UI comes out of beta next week.

alray, what is your small image size set to in Admin>Configuration>Images? IH will ONLY zoom on the small image, using the product info image settings for the zoomed image.

Try setting your small images to 100 X 100, and your product info image sizes to 250 X 250. See if it will zoom in on 'em then.

Hope this helps.


Also, my apologies to Ant. I wasn't trying to change the thread topic, just resolve this issue, because I really don't think it's anything wrong with the template. I think it's just the image sizing that's the issue, as 90% of the time when IH shows the images, but won't zoom, that's the problem.

I don't use image handle to zoom and don't like the way it does it, I use it because I have a lot of products with more than one image and its the easiest way to handle them.
Resizing the images does not help with the lightbox not working.
Thanks but you misunderstood what I am trying to working.

Yep. You're absolutely right. I re-read your post, and I DID misunderstand. I could have SWORE it said you couldn't get IH to work, AND when I went to your site, your images have the "plus" icon in the corner, but wouldn't zoom. Uhhhh.........my bad. Forgive me???

So, whats not working? is it just the lightbox on the main product images?

Yes thats it.

[anthonyd]

Yes thats it.

Ok, can see it now...
Can you replace the includes/modules/main_product_image.php from image handler with the original one from ZenCart and let me know if that fixes the issue?
I'm sure that is all I did and the main product image is still displayed using the ImageHandler scaled image, the lightbox should then also work.

I'm new at Zen-cart; think it's wonderful. But I'm having real problems with installing a template. Haven't been able to load a template in a way that it shows up in the template list.

I'm using version 1.3.7, which, oddly, doesn't have a Template folder. I've combed the installation looking for where the Classic template file must be hiding. No luck so far.

In any case, this silver template looks great, but it doesn't have a ReadMe file for installation. My first attempt was replacing the different folders, which didn't work.

Could someone please point me to step-by-step installation instructions? The FAQ template instructions refers to includes/template, which is exactly what I don't have.

Thanks-- Andra

Clark, it will be next week.
jQuery UI is still in beta but should be out of beta early next week.
Other than that there is a few extra tweaks I'd like to add to it, I'll make a post when it's ready.
