AJAX IMAGE Swapper support thread

[greydawgjr]

Is it possible to know exactly in which directory to copy the mootools files ( and wich files are they )?
Sorry, but I'm not talented to do that...
Many thanks

I think what Jay is saying is:
1. Go to your AJAX_image_swapper_v3.1.1 folder
2. Find the directory called mootools_on_admin
3. Inside that directory there is a directory called admin, inside admin there is a directory called includes, inside includes there is a directory called javascript.
4. Inside javascript there is a file called mootools-release-1.11.js

Make sure that the mootools-release-1.11.js (along with the uncompressed folder if you wish) is indeed in your admin -> includes -> javascript directory on your site.

I have php5.2 running now. Is there any other solutions?

I had that exact same problem on Friday, also on php 5.2, turns out I had missed one of the files I was supposed to copy. I wish I could tell you which file I had missed but I didn't think to write it down.

I've got 9 zen carts with 9 installations of AIS running on my local machine, every time it hasn't worked "out of the box" for me it has been a problem of a missing file or putting it in the wrong level. 99% of the difficulty I've had is simply because I'm installing from a local machine to a local machine instead of using an FTP client which wouldn't overwrite my directories, so I've had to copy and paste each file by hand, but as a result I've become intimately familiar with zen cart's and AIS's directory structure (and how easy it is to think you're inside one level when in fact you're inside another!) Zen cart has several directories called modules, two called includes, several called javascript, several called templates and so on and as it turns out AIS lives in all of these (but only works when it's in the right ones)!

(I should note that the read me says copy all the directories to the root of your zen cart installation, however in my experience you'll need to start at the files inside each parent directory. For example, don't place mootools_on_admin inside your site root, but start at the includes directory inside mootools_on_admin, and so on. Jay may correct me on this, but all the relative paths on the various includes and such do not map all the way out to the parent directories of the AIS folder.)

Many thanks... It works now !!!!!!!

I've attached a zip file with the two versions of the tpl_product_info_display.php files that Jay talks about in the read me. One has _optionalremove appended to the file name so be sure to rename it if that is the file you wish to implement.

Hopefully these will make the install process a step easier for someone!

Hey its great to have you around, thanks!

I've set up my rate for installation help, its $40 per site, fair enough right?
If you need quick help with installation just purchase another module with donating $40 or more and send me information on your ftp and admin access which you could put on comment area or drop me a message from either email, contact me page, or zen-cart private message.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PHP VERSION FIRST - if the problem lies in your server I'd get the cash back to you minus $5.

Cheers!

Does AIS support more than one attribute with images? For example, if I have an attribute #1 with a couple of choices and with several images associated with each things work fine. If I add a second attribute #2 with a couple of choices and several images associated with each, the product page will show only the images associated with the second attribute in the sort order. I can select back and forth between my choices for attribute #2 and the images will load for each, however selecting any choice in attribute #1 produces no result.

At this point I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if AIS simply doesn't support anything past one attribute.

I have three attributes dropdowns(style, color, size) and I want to display all the items for each dropdown in the AIS box, but it only shows the images for the first dropdown. How could I get this to work?

Nope that's not supported. Too many complexion in having that feature since some extra options and conditionals are needed to get that to work.

It is possible to do that with some custom work on the module.

This module doesn't currently support that, and there is no plan to make it does. However, you can pm me if you want me to do custom work to do just that.

If you want to be able to display images for each dropdown, you would need a lot of images with the combination of the three attributes (for example style a, color 1, size 12 will have different image than style a, color 2, size 12 etc.) might be better off with just style and color?

What this module can currently do though, is you can put the options in one attribute for example blue a style, green a style, etc.
