AJAX IMAGE Swapper support thread

Thanks for Jay and the others in this thread. :clap:
All your comments help me pass through tons of problems and finally get the mod run.
I am a total newbie on site building and know zero about html css php sql things..... (thanks for ZC, I learn a bit more now!)

After over 20 times 1.38a fresh install and reinstall on 6 different public host. I finally get the AJAX mod run.
On this stage I just need ONE function by AJAX is, when I change an attribute, a related image replace the main image.
Here is my success test site:
http://cocteau.xtreemhost.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=193

Then I made a full back from this server and database and hv a formal transfer to my live server. AJAX refuse to work again:frusty:

I use the Firefox Web Developer plugin try to view what's wrong. I got 2 error when load the page. (thanks for this great plugin too it really help me a lot a lot a lot...) :clap:

When I try to access the admin>AIS manager (V3.14), I get the well-know "please select a category first" problem. Error Console show this error:
(elements not find)
/admin/AJAX servers/AJAX image swapper server.php?action=loadProducts&category id=68&id=1236952311532

When I try to load my test page on the live server, another well-known "Spinning Pie" on there.

Console show this error:
(elements not find)
/admin/AJAX servers/AJAX image swapper server.php?action=loadImages&products id=193&options id=1&options values id=29&id=1236952381618

I am quite sure this was caused by my server spec. or wrong settings. And AJAX is quite a server sensitive mod maybe.
Please see the brief of my Server info:

Any suggestions or direct helping may pull me out of this two week long nightmare...

Jay,
Looks like you got a little competition. :smile:

heh :smile: and yes there is always room for better coding, as you mentioned on that thread...

Thanks for looking Jay. I think the IE problem is related to my computer at work because it seems to be working on other machines.

But the images are out of order. The image that shows up in the main image container when the page is first loaded should be the 2nd image. They are named properly and don't seem to respond to changes in the sort order.

Any ideas?

No prob, email me your site details to j a y - at - webe xtre mecu stom iser.com I can probably take a look.

Thank you for your comments, but I have to humbly add that this module is still far away from perfection. Hopefully I can find time through the weeks to improve this module further...

looks like the file templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_product_info_page.php hasn't been edited.

Thanks for your quick reply Jay.
Yes I did edit those 2 lines of the tpl_product_info_page.php. But because I hv to keep on build my site so I roll back the file to original at yesterday night. (Sorry about that) :blush:

I just built another test site on the same live server same database, just for you to view the problem.
This test page show the same message by the Error Console. Both the Product info page and the AIS manager admin page hv the same old problem.

Thank you very much for the kindly follow up. :hug:

Hi all,

I installed the ajax mod to my zen cart. It's amazing how it works.
But now I've got 3 questions:
1.Before I already installed Zen Lightbox and it worked perferctly.
But now, the Zen Lightbox doesn't work anymore.
Do you know how I can fix this?

2. I used the swapper for every attribute. But what if my attribute has no special picture, is it possible, that he automatically uses the standard ones?

3. Normally he should show these arrows, when you have more than 3 pics, but these arrows don't appear!
   Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks for your answers!
Jan

I've got 3 questions:
I know little about AJAX image swapper. But I spent over 2 weeks try to install this mod well, I read alot info here so I hope may help others.

1. You may try to upload the "Zen Lightbox patch" which is in the Documents_and_extra_files folder. (but honestly I hv no luck to let Zen Lightbox work again by this patch. Fual Slimbox is working fine)

2. You are better to add attribute images use the admin>catalog>AJAX image swapper manager. (or try to use the "setup image" function inside the manager)

3. Because you are now using the Fual Slimbox which is a AJAX image swapper built-in lightbox. It's function is not exactly same as Zen Lightbox. You may visit the Fual Slimbox supportting thread to know more.

Hope this can help! :wink:

Thank you for your help. I deactivated the Zen Lightbox and it works!!!

Question number 3.
I meant these arrows for the additional images. Wenn you have more than 3 images it should show an arrow to scroll to the next ones, but this doesn't word!
Do you know the fix?

Sorry,

here the question again with an image where it works.

Mine is the jewellery one in the post above.
What you can see:
I have 4 Images and i want to have that 3 images appear and then I need this green arrow to go to the next one. but this green arraw doesn't appar.
(in the original image, it does.)
Does anybody know, how I can fix this?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. :P

I never hv more then 3 images for a single product.
(The truth is, I hv no luck to let this mod run well on my live server, so what can I help is very less....):no:

However, the arrow stuff you mentioned maybe set at the admin>configuration>AJAX Image Swapper> (last 2 options)

Jay This is a great app. Im kind of a novice but know enough to be dangerous. my question thought is Can i display the Image title In the Image viewer Portion Of the Window. My Reason is i would like to add addition info to the description on the change of the attributes to describe what they are changing it to. im looking to sell candles and the fragrance change i would like a short blurb on what the title of the fragrance is. i noticed that when i click on the image and the slim box pops i get the info i want but i can follow where it is pulling it from to modify the code to add that info.

Hi everyone,

Jay great apps. I was wondering how I can remove the main product image with out having problem. I have tried to remove the tpl_modules_main_product_image.php but that would cause my product info page not to load. So the question is how can i remove it without having problem.

Thank you,

Dat

Hi,

Actually I have figure it out.

:clap:

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to change the #image_viewer height sizing?

I had tried adding a height value to #image_viewer but it doesn't do anything.

I have assumed that you edit: styles_AJAX_image_swapper.css

#image_viewer {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #215086;
margin:5px;
padding:5px;
}

If I change the width it edit's border no problem. Where is it getting it's height value from? Can I change this?

I don't want to just remove the border. I have slightly off square image and don't like having all that blank space below.

Thanks for any input.

Soz.. could no longer edit post after 7 mins without admin permission.

In regards to my question above thanks I think I have sorted it out
.
I have found:

I can see that I can just edit the +20 to - 20 or whatever.

I assume measured in pixels?

I do have another question.

In IE when you hover the mouse over product image it doesn't show handover it. This javascript issue with ie ? No fix?

Thanks Great app!

http://bocaratondentalgroup.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_9&products_id=3

anybody have an idea what could be causing this?

Hi,

wondering if someone can help me out. can't seem to get my Ajax Image Manager to install properly. I understand you have to add your databases prefix to the sql_installer file. I don't have one, so I've added "" as directed and still no success.

So I would like to uninstall the program, add a prefix to my database if I can and then reinstall.

The problem is that I am having problems uninstalling the program. I've removed all the files from my root directory and the file added to the my custom template but can't seem to do the uninstall with the fual slimbox.

Not sure how to do this: instructions states to run the uninstallation from the sql_installer.sql file but which coding am I selecting and where do I run it?

Is it this code?

UNINSTALLATION
-- SET @t4=0;
-- SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
-- FROM configuration_group
-- WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Fual Slimbox';
-- DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
-- DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

Thanks for your help!!

I just dropped the configuration_group from my phpAdmin....seemed to work in uninstalling the Fual Slimbox

Thought it might be worth mentioning a couple things I came accross in case others are pulling thier hair out.

1. When using Ajax image swapper manager:

The sort order box doesn't work when using option selectors.

If you have options for example for a product. Say blue, red and green.

Which ever color you want to load first when someone vists that product will need to be selected in the standard attributes section.

catalog > Attributes controller

Select your attribute on the product you wish to edit and click display.

Once you see your option selectors click on edit beside the attribute you want to load first when that product loads. Ie blue

In the edit section on the blue option click on: Default Attribute
to be Marked Selected.

2. Don't use the same images for products. You will need to have a single image for every product even if they are the same. 9You may get a way with it to a certain point but ends up buggy)

3. Don't use additional .'s in any naming of images as this causes problems with the display sizing in Zen Cart.

Over all an awsome module.

Cheers.

Fix:

Edit the following file:

SHOP_DIRECTORY/AJAX_servers/AJAX_image_swapper_server.php
and find this line (line 22):

AND products_id_no_attribute = '" . $products_id . "'";

replace it with:

AND products_id_no_attribute = '" . $products_id . "' ORDER BY
image_sort_order";
