ZJ Silver Support Thread

No need to apologise, good to see someone jump in with help & advice.
I hadn't played around with image handler much before today so was unsure of how to get it working with my jQuery themes at the start but didn't find any real issues.
I have it working on a new jQuery template here, http://zencart-jquery.com/zj-black
The only thing I don't like is the way ImageHandler names the images, I'd prefer them to be named with the product titles for SEO reasons, I might look into a solution to do this in the next week or two.
That template will be released as soon as jQuery UI comes out of beta next week.

Get Em Fast:

alray, what is your small image size set to in Admin>Configuration>Images? IH will ONLY zoom on the small image, using the product info image settings for the zoomed image.

Try setting your small images to 100 X 100, and your product info image sizes to 250 X 250. See if it will zoom in on 'em then.

Hope this helps.

Also, my apologies to Ant. I wasn't trying to change the thread topic, just resolve this issue, because I really don't think it's anything wrong with the template. I think it's just the image sizing that's the issue, as 90% of the time when IH shows the images, but won't zoom, that's the problem.

I don't use image handle to zoom and don't like the way it does it, I use it because I have a lot of products with more than one image and its the easiest way to handle them.
Resizing the images does not help with the lightbox not working.
Thanks but you misunderstood what I am trying to working.

Yep. You're absolutely right. I re-read your post, and I DID misunderstand. I could have SWORE it said you couldn't get IH to work, AND when I went to your site, your images have the "plus" icon in the corner, but wouldn't zoom. Uhhhh.........my bad. :ohmy: Forgive me???

So, whats not working? is it just the lightbox on the main product images?

Yes thats it.

alray10:

Yes thats it.
Ok, can see it now...
Can you replace the includes/modules/main_product_image.php from image handler with the original one from ZenCart and let me know if that fixes the issue?
I'm sure that is all I did and the main product image is still displayed using the ImageHandler scaled image, the lightbox should then also work.
Ant.

Anthony,

Is the Black jQuery Template available for download?

I'm new at Zen-cart; think it's wonderful. But I'm having real problems with installing a template. Haven't been able to load a template in a way that it shows up in the template list.

I'm using version 1.3.7, which, oddly, doesn't have a Template folder. I've combed the installation looking for where the Classic template file must be hiding. No luck so far.

In any case, this silver template looks great, but it doesn't have a ReadMe file for installation. My first attempt was replacing the different folders, which didn't work.

Could someone please point me to step-by-step installation instructions? The FAQ template instructions refers to includes/template, which is exactly what I don't have.

Thanks-- Andra

Clark, it will be next week.
jQuery UI is still in beta but should be out of beta early next week.
Other than that there is a few extra tweaks I'd like to add to it, I'll make a post when it's ready.
Ant.

Andra, why are you still using 1.3.7? and are you absolutely sure you don't have an includes/templates folder??? if so, I'd say your ZenCart installation is pretty messed up.
Do you have site we can have a look at?
As for installing the template, all you do is unzip it, upload everything in the includes folder to your includes folder and then activate it in admin.
Ant.

Glad it fixed it. I don't know why the includes/modules/main_product_image.php from IH causes this but I don't think it has anything to do with the theme.
Maybe IH needs to be updated for ZC 1.3.8? As the default ZenCart includes/modules/main_product_image.php works with IH, I don't know why it is overwritten by IH.

Greetings, anthonyd.

I'm using 3.7 because that was available on my server. Thought I'd start basic, try not to get in over my head.

Actually, the Zen Cart seems to be doing OK except for the theme. Here's the address: http://conflictunraveled.com/index.php?main_page=

-- Andra

well, you do have a templates folder.
Right click on the logo and choose view image in firefox, you will see it is at /includes/templates/classic/images/logo.gif

it is /includes/templates/ you need to copy any themes to.

Excellent! I hadn't thought of doing that to locate the right folder. Thanks-- Andra

Much better! I was in the wrong includes folder. Started over, and loaded fresh files.

Now the site displays the elegant silver zen cart. However, the main page is missing products and shows the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_get_generated_category_path_rev() in /home/amedea/public_html/includes/modules/zj_silver/new_products.php on line 68

Can you translate?

Thanks-- Andra

You are getting there but still have some install problems.
This error has nothing to do with the template, it is your ZenCart install.
You seem to be missing something from your includes/functions folder.
I'd suggest uploading all files from ZenCart again.

You're right, anthonyd. There does seem to be something wrong with the install. Fortunately, there isn't much built, so will start again.

Thanks-- Andra

I'll also be releasing another version of the ZJ Black template next Friday.
You can see it on http://zencart-jquery.com/zj-test
If you have a chance, please have a look & let me know what you think.
If you spot any errors, please post them so I can fix before the release,

For what it's worth, this error was fixed by uploading the 1.3.8 copy of includes/functions/functions_categories.php. The error appeared in a couple of places, and this one file seems to have patched the problem without introducing new ones (that I can find so far).

I'm not saying this is the ultimate answer, but it does make the index page usable without the major surgery of a full update.

Thanks, anthonyd. It's really an elegant template. -- Andra
