Additional Product Images addon

dharrison:

When I look at the thumbnail images are simply reading: images/additional/Red-1.jpg and no URL.

Please help. Where can I change this setting? I get the same problem trying to view the Online Catalog link form the Admin panel.
The images shouldn't need a URL if a relative path is supplied.

Sounds like your admin configure.php file has invalid HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER, HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER, DIR_WS_CATALOG, DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG and DIR_FS_CATALOG settings.

Has anybody installed this on version 1.5.1?

Has anybody installed this on version 1.5.1?

I'd also like to know this please

I have installed this in V1.5.1 - but have some issues.

Uploading works but -

1. The additional image thumbnails are shown in a 1 column list at the end of the relevant product page - even though the config/images table is set to 3 images per row.

2. Clicking the thumbnails does nothing (ie does not show the enlarged images.)

Has anyone got this to work yet, and if so any ideas what may be causing my problems??

Thanks

Have you tried looking into this:
Add to tpl_modules_additional_images.php thanks to Brandon Walters

require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('additional_images.php'));
?>

Sorry for the delayed response - didn't see the notification email.

I have in the last few days done some more work on my site and in doing so discovered that an Additional Images facility is already built in to V1.5 - and it works well with the lightbox plugin too, so all sorted.

Thanks for the input.

Which lightbox plugin are you referring to?...

The one found here. :wink:

Hi, I am trying to install this mod on 1.3.9d follow all instructions but all it does is stop additional images from showing, I just get white space. I have installed on 1.5.1 and it works fine

Will it work on 1.3.9d or does it have to be 1.3.9h?

I know it's an old post but this called for a comment: > I have in the last few days done some more work on my site and in doing so discovered that an Additional Images facility is already built in to V1.5 Additional images have been built into Zen Cart for the last ten years... there is nothing new in v1.5 for them. This mod just makes a different way to use them, which may be easier for some to understand. Just in case anyone was confused or didn't know how to use them...

Fixed it My dreamweaver wasn't putting one of the files for some reason

Great mod

Suggestion for this mod:

1. The file

includes/modules/additional_images.php

should be in

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php

2. In step 3 (adding in the require for /tpl_modules_additional_images.php), note that this might already be in your tpl_product_info_display.php file.

Hi all
I have installed this add-on and it works great except the images are all over the place on my product page, see here;

http://thecandleandcardco.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3_53&products_id=4

I have changed the Number of Additional Images per row to 5 but still the same problem. My images are sized at 250 high x 200 wide, otherwise they are too small to see. Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to have to uninstall this and add something else, it works great apart from this layout problem.

Thanks Kim

You have the additional image block of code multiple times in your template. Just search the file

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

for "additional" (case insensitive) and you'll see what I mean.

Module is completely not working on 1.5.3

Installed according to instructions, was able to access admin area for additional images, when at the final step for uploading additional image for particular item, page throws an error.

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

Uninstalling this mod, it's incomplete and not updated.

Hello, I would really appreciate some help with this addon.

I'm using Zen Cart v1.5.1 and have installed the Additionial Images addon. I can add more images under Catalog -> Additional Images but they're not showing up on the website with the product that I have uploaded them for..

I think I might be doing something wrong with Step 3 of the installation instructions? It says to copy the code to the tpl_product_info_display.php but that exact line of code is already within the php file. Being....

<!--bof Additional Product Images -->

<?php /** * display the products additional images */ require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_additional_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_additional_images.php'); ?> <!--eof Additional Product Images -->

I have the Number of Additional Images per Row set to 3.

I have Show Product Additional Images = 1 for true.

Any help with this or as to why they're not displaying on the website would be really appreciated, I'm at a loss as to what I am doing wrong here. I have double checked the installation, file by file, everything was copied over into the correct folders. I believe it's something to do with Step 3, which I'm confused about.

Here is a link to the product that I added two additional images for, using the addon but are not showing up..

As swguy noted just a few posts back in this thread, the require for tpl_modules_additional_images.php may already be in your copy of tpl_product_info_display.php. In fact, it will be there unless you have a customized version of the file which omits it.

Did you ever try to use the stock method of displaying additional images? What results did you have, specifically? Give an example of actual filenames you used for main and additional images. (I don't know if this mod disables the stock method of recognizing additional images; if so, you would not be able to test the stock method now.)

Thank you for responding and for the code enlightenment.

My trial and errors this morning...

1. Tried the stock method and it worked in adding two more images by using the *_1.jpg, *_2.jpg method. They appeared as smaller thumbnails directly under the "main" image and nicely lined up in a row.

2. With a different product that had no images, I tried adding all of the images using the Additional Images addon - so the main image file and the others named *_1.jpg, *_2.jpg. None of these showed up for that product.

3. Then with another different product I uploaded the "main" image the stock way and then added more images using the Additional Images addon along with the file naming of *_1.jpg, *_2.jpg... That worked.

So is this how it's supposed to work?

You have to still name additional images for a product the stock way with the same name beginning, followed by _1.jpg etc.. ?

You need to first upload the 'main' image the stock way before using Additional Images to add more?

Just to further add... I found if a product already had one "main" image within another folder adding more with Additional Images didn't work, even with the *_1.jpg file naming as those would end up in the "additional" folder with the main image elsewhere.
