[Duplicate] Media Manager Assign to Products no longer working, part II

Hello everybody,
I have the exact same problem decribe by Thirdiphoto in this post:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168587&highlight=media+manager

I create my media collection using the tools provided in ZC admin panel.
I upload the .mp3 file to the specified collection (I did specify mp3 as a Media Type before)
I assign the collection to a Music Product Item.
When I click on "add", I get redirected to my ZC admin main page.
When I go back to my media manager, the collection is visible but no product linked......

My settings:
New zen cart, latest version. 1.3.9.h
No major modifications, no templates, no add-ons.
Auto installed by simple scripts on bluehost servers

php editor: Dreamweaver cs5

After reading the solution given by Dr Byte, I opened my init_sessions.php (located in mysite\public_htlm\includes\init_includes)

On line 40, I do not have the same string of code as mentionned by Dr Byte, instead, I have:

$domainPrefix = (!defined('SESSION_ADD_PERIOD_PREFIX') || SESSION_ADD_PERIOD_PREFIX == 'True') ? '.' : '';

I looked around but I was not able able to locate the following code in order to change it:

if (strpos ( $PHP_SELF, FILENAME_PRODUCTS_PRICE_MANAGER ) === FALSE

I looked all over the forums to try to find a solution but I was not successful.
If anyone has a clue to solve our problem, we would really appreciate the help as we are definitely noobs :lookaroun

I use this first post to say a big thank you to all the contributors in this forum: It was really helpful and we were able to put our website online really fast with all the good advices!!:clap:

Re: [Duplicate] Media Manager Assign to Products no longer working, part II

Hum...I'm not getting anu answers so far so I'm going to try to be more precise, maybe it will help to trigger some solutions...

A I mention before, we are unable to assign a media collection via the media manager in the admin panel.

I check the size of my demo file to make sure it was below the maximum default size (Configuration/Maximum Values/Maximum size upload file), I even changed it to 512000 to make sure it would take 2048000 mp3 demos...
I checked to make sute the media folder had the right authorizations...
I tried creating different collections and assign them to different Music product with no luck.

I always end up with the following results:
On the admin side: the media collection is created but I cannot link it to the product. As described in first post, when I assign a media collection to a music product, the media manager tells me that the collection is not linked to any product. No matter how many times I try or wich collection/product link I create.
On the User end: In the Music product where I assigned a medi collection via the admin panel/medi manager, : there is a "white rectangle" at the bottom of the page, but it's empty. When I check the property of the box , it's a media manager box... But no collection is linked to it .

I left I product with the rectangle if anyone wants to see by itself: The white rectange is located between the "Select File Type" and "write a review"
http://www.nabi-records.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=3&products_id=4

I'm really a poor noob when it comes to php. I checked as much as I can why the media manager would not link my collection to my products without any success( forums, faq...you name it). I believe the problems is because in the process of assigning a media collection to a product, there is a file somewhere that should be modify by the admin panel manager. I just can seem to find which part of the media manager is not writing/saving correctly the info :frusty:

We really are looking for a solution to this problem :frusty:. If anyone as a clue, we would really appreciate. Sorry for pushing it back on top of the list with this reply but I believed the extra info can be usefull.

Peace

Emmanuhell

PS: Looking in the forum, It seems I'm not the only one encountering this problem... So is this a bug or am I just a sad noob?

Re: [Duplicate] Media Manager Assign to Products no longer working, part II

Ok: I'm a sad noob :blush:...I did fix my problem by editing my init_sessions.php (located in mysite\public_htlm\includes\init_includes) as mentionned by Dr Byte.:clap:
Before I did not open the right file, that's why I was not able to find the exact match. And yes, it's a bug, so I'm in the right section, that's the only positive point I guess.
Anyways, after editing the code, the media manager did assign the media collection to the products I wanted but when I checked the result it was just terrible :yuck:
The media box layout is just a mess with bad alignement, weird spacings and lag... :frusty:
So, as I need to play demos, can anyone advice me on how to add a simple media player to my product page in order to play a maximum of 10 demos per article.
I'm looking for an alternative solution to a basic flash player as flash is not reccognize on Apple's devices (Another great policy from the Big Apple :lamo:)
Thanks in advance.
