AJAX IMAGE Swapper support thread

[Wilkesy]

Hi Jaycode,

Thanks for this module. Works really well. However is it possible for this module to be used in the large image popup window rather than on the product info display page? I have some large, detailed images that would be great to use with this module but ideally i would want to display the images at upto 500 or 600px in size, maybe even bigger if peoples browsers will take it. Doing this on the product info page will obvioulsy make the rest of the site distort and look stupid.

Just wondered if its a possibility?

Many thanks

Paul

Hmm, at this moment, one of the main goals of this module is to avoid using slow-showing popup windows, but yeah, I am actually thinking of the possibility of leaving that to zen slimbox module thus let users choose whether to display them on popup windows or slimbox.

That way, rather than trying to be one-solution-fits-all I can focus on the main reasons people use this module - to display several sets of pictures by attributes...

Am still busy with some projects though, and my exams at uni are coming, so I don't think I am able to do anything with this module until March (going to take a whole month off without computer - replace that with surfboard & diving equipments - in Bali on Feb )

Thanks for the suggestion Paul.

Hi, I was about to install this very useful plugin. But then I saw this in one of the posts on this thread:

"Do you use PHP 5.1 or higher version?"

Does that mean that if i have PHP4.x , it wont work?
I have 1.3.7 Zen Cart installed and my Host (godaddy.com) only installs it with PHP4.1..

I looked everywhere on your site, but couldnt find any kind of requirements for the installation. Please let me know if your plugin will still work with PHP 4.1

Thank you in advance

ok.. i figured it out the hard way.. installed it and it didnt work :)
upgraded to PHP5.1 and all is good - was a bit scared that my 1.3.7 zen cart will not work right - but it did just fine..
now the plugin still does not work for some reason..
what exactly do you mean, when you say:

" 1. Have you set up your image attributes?"

which ones?

thanks

Image Attributes can be set up from admin - catalog - ajax image swapper manager, these are the images you set up for your attributes, and after I read that again, it really should write attribute images

well.. i finally got these things to work looking at your demo site.
i must say, although a very good idea and i appreciate your donation to the zen community, i wish your plugin's limitations were clear. It appears that it's only useful when you have an item with attributes and you'd like to have different pictures for different attributes. In my shop, my attributes are just different sizes of the same item, so i dont need different pictures for attributes. and sometimes i dont have attributes at all.. it would be really useful to know this before i went into installing it.
"Can work multiple attributes, having multiple images." is listed as one of the features, but can it work with no attributes? or independent of attributes?

thx.
