Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

I've tried downloading and installing this, the first thing is that the thickbox_install.sql requires a ; at the end of the last SQL statement.

I have the configuration menu, everything is turned on, I have the catalog > products gallery. Nothing works. Since there are no examples as to what effect is being attempted, I don't know if anything is supposed to happen. There are no obvious javascript errors and jquery is loaded as a the $().ready function does not fail. I wouldn't mind a link to a working example, or even a screenshot in the sip or attached here.

Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

I'm going to make a suggestion. I think you're talented but are re-inventing the wheel. Attached are screenshots from the http://zencart-jquery.com/ team who have some templates in add-ins here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1033

As you can see from the screen shots, there is already a pop up window with a darkened background and also if the shop item has additional images then there is a carousel at the bottom of the page that also links to pop ups.

What I'd suggest is a new project (I already manage 30 odd shipping modules and the worldpay one, so I'm a little busy). Each Shop has a "New Items" and "Featured Products" se of images and links at the bottom of the home page. I think that a 3d carousel would be better to replace one of those. This is possible with jquery and there is a plugin listed here

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/carousel3d

the demonstration web page does not work because fo a DNS problem, but before the ui.jquery project got going there was a really talented Romanian developer who did this

http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/carousel.html

and the documentation is here http://interface.eyecon.ro/ . Unfortunately the developer stopped work when the ui.jquery group got going, but in some aspects they have not been able to reproduce the simplicity and usability of what he/ they created. I think it would be better to be able to drop in a replacement for the "Featured Products" as a 3d carousel as it would be more interesting that the normal layout and yet would not be a hindrance. I have no personal interest in this since I no longer run a shop of my own, although I do look at a lot of shops working as a module developer and so I often think "what would make this better and more interesting?"

The final image is from a demo using mootools and script.alicio.us which although on a black background does show the reflections of the images better but on a white or any lighter background a shadow may be more appropriate.

Thank you.

Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

Before testing this mod can I just ask if it will allow for a simple roll over on search result thumbnails to activate the jquery with maybe a piece of text such as the product model and title, etc.

_thanks

Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

Hi guy.

I've installed this mod but it doesn't seem to work fine.
On the front-end nothing happens. I can see the image of the product loaded in the thick box, but it doesn't load the gallery images.

On the back end, in the gallery_lisp.php page there aren't buttons to update or delete images. I can only add images. When i click on it it send me to the home page of the admin area.

My english isn't so good, but i hope i wos clear enough.

Waiting for help.....:(

Thank you all,

Bye,

Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

Tried to install this tonight....

the product gallery.sql seemed okay but the install.sql had an error and now when I click on my products I get this :

1146 Table 'db78088_littlebear.products_gallery' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT * FROM products_gallery WHERE products_id=2]

It's knackered my store now and I don't know how to fix it...:(:(
Help! An uninstall.sql would have been nice...

Re: Thick box Gallery for Products

I'm using the newest version of ZenCart and I installed exactly as directions say and I get this error when I click on a product

1146 Table 'nor1030009422678.products_gallery' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT * FROM products_gallery WHERE products_id=1]

What needs to be done to fix this?

I have managed to fix this.. It just needs minor code changes

First to change the action called to update something..
onclick="window.location='gallery_list.php?category_id=<?php echo $category_id?>&products_id=<?php echo $products_gallery->fields['products_id']?>&gallery_id=<?php echo $products_gallery->fields['gallery_id']?>&action=toupdate'">

and in the second switch statement do the same..
case "toupdate":

This allows it to generate the form required to call update portion of the script...
