Attribute image replaces main product image on select [Support Thread]

In response to your question, I really don't know much of anything about the mechanics of this mod. And it doesn't matter how long it has been since I posted in a thread, if it comes up again I will see it and take a look.

It's highly doubtful you'll find someone to help out with PHP for free. I thought his prices were more than fair. He actually DID do a couple of little tweaks free of charge. The point is, that it was well worth the cost. I spent close to a month sifting through this file and that one, all to no avail. I'm a novice with PHP as well. I guess it just boils down to how much is your time worth.

Willywanka, you're missing out on the fact that this addon has been supplied to the community for free. At the same time, there has to be someone who has managed to get it up and running or someone who has something similar up and running.

I see no point in paying $100 for the exact same script with one or two changes that actually make it work when all I actually need is a little bit of help from someone to get this script working.

If there wasn't something like this mod or an alternative, then yeah i'd probably do what you did and pay $100... but until such time as I have confirmed that there is no way to do it without paying someone, I'll just keep trying.

But thanks anyway, hopefully once i've come up with a solution i'll be able to help guys who were in my position for free.

Cool! Good luck. We all hope to hear from you when you find the solution.

# Zencart v1.3.9h
# Apache/2.2.14 (Fedora)
# MySQL client version: 5.0.88
# PHP extension: mysql

I have a fair understanding of zen cart and mod installation. This mod installed and I have the additional attribute styles #6 and #7 displayed in the attribute options page.

I select #6 for my item attribute (color).

From here I'm a bit stumped. Where do I associate an image with an attribute? I cannot see where (expectantly in the attributes controller page) I upload and associate an image with the attribute color.

Please advise and thanks in advance for your help.

Look for "Swatch" in Attributes Controller.

Look for "Swatch" in Attributes Controller.

I just wanted to document the fix for this, so others understood.

If found that you cannot apply an image to an existing attribute. If I attempted to add an image to an existing attribute (say color blue) it would bark and error that it cannot add image since the attribute existed (Duplicate Attribute).

I removed the attribute (blue) and re-added it and used the swatch image upload feature at the bottom of the page.

Thanks,

I just successfully added an image swatch to an existing attribute that had no image in my local test install. Did you try to select the option name and option value in the boxes to get the attribute to add the image to? That would be creating a new attribute that was the same as an existing one for the product, and would fail.

Edit the attribute in the list of attributes the product already has.

I have this working with an Image zoomer. The image zoomer works upon initially loading the page but when the attribute changes and the image switches the image zoomer no longer works. I think it may have something to do with the new image that's being loaded or the order of the scripts being called but I'm not sure. Let me know if you any ideas or need any additional information to solve this problem.

Is there any way to switch the additional images that show when the new main image is loaded? e.g. when a blue attribute is loaded, the additional images for that model comes up.
