Would someone mind taking a look at this page for exmaple: http://www.blueluxe.com/french-pancake-book-p-2570.html and seeing if they can figure out why the 'other imgaes' don't show (the pop-ups do work though). Here's a working example for comparison: http://www.blueluxe.com/french-pancake-book-p-2570.html I am doing everything correctly as far as the naming sequence but for some reason the image-resize contrib that I am using isn't inserting the thumbnail of the other images. When I installed the contrib my existing items with other pics were fine, but new items don't work. This is why I would like to use the Bigger Product Images contrib. but only have it change the product page image, and NOT do any resizing. Thanks for any help!

Moved from: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=198164 Hi. I have a question regarding these contributions: Automatic Thumbail - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1484 Dynamic MoPics - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Bigger Product Image v_1.1 - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3986 Am I able to install Bigger Product Image v_1.1 so that it only changes the product image size, but not install the image resizing feature? I'm simply trying to have a bigger product image on the product_info.php page. The Bigger Product contribution does this quite well, but it also affects thumbnailing and conflicts with my other contributions. For quite a while now I've been successfully using Dynamic MoPics and Automatic Thumbnail. Dynamic MoPics worked great in that I would just add subsequent images to /images/thumbs/ and /images_big/ and everything (regular product image and MoPics images) would be successfully thumbnailed and placed in /images/imagecache/. But here's where my problem occurred: I just installed Bigger Product Images (easy install) and it's great at letting me set a different size for my product image than the image shown on the category pages, but it ended up 'breaking' my dynamic MoPics contribution (the MoPics thumbs were not showing, it just showed 'Click here to enlarge' where each image should have been, which when clicked would indeed show the correct pop-up, so it was simply not finding the thumbnail). As I said I had previously installed Automatic Thumbail and I think by installing Bigger Product Image there was too much resizing code that conflicted (Bigger Product Images had it's own thumbnail as part of the contribution). So, I undid my original install of Automatic Thumbail and that did almost fix the MoPics problem. It started showing the images again, but wasn't thumbnailing them (so I had all these huge images showing on the product_info page). As a temporary fix I copied all the files from /images/imagecache/ into /images/thumbs/ and now the MoPics shows the corect size image. So everything looks great but now when i have new instances of multiple pics for mopics, i have to manually resize them before I add to /images/thumbs/. So i'm just wondering if you have any experience with any of these contributions, and/or have any interest in figuring out how to fix my problem. And if you do, what would your fee be? Ideally I would like to keep everything how I used to have it, using Automatic Thumbnails, b/c I like how it created them in /images/imagecache/, and I don't really like how Bigger Product Images puts thumbnails in /images/ by resizing and renaming image1.jpg to image1-150x150.jpg or image1-200x200.jpg for example. In my attempts at fixing this I was able to fix everything so that the old Automatic Thumbnails would work on the MoPics, and the Bigger Image size for the product was working, but it wasn't thumbnailing the bigger product image, it was just warping it (taking a 150x150 image from /images/imagecache/ and then increasing size to 150x150). I know this is a mouthful but it's hard to write down what's happening, but hopefully you can see what i'm trying to say. Thanks! -- Josh

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Quick update: the fix of moving the coupon box above the cc box worked the first time, but now when trying again it wants me to enter cc info when i hit the Redeem button....

Thanks Nate! I was actually about to type another response when I saw your message. I did what you said and moved the coupon box and that did work! However, i also found another solution: I just noticed that v5.13a (compared to v5.13 which I have) is where the change occured making checkout_payment.php refresh instead of redirecting to checkout_confirmation. So I downloaded v5.13 and uploaded the following two files to see what happens, and it worked!(checkout_payment goes directly to checkout_confirmation after hitting redeem, which I like better than the refresh) catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_gv.php catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_coupon.php My question though is does anyone know if any of the other fixes done in 5.13a are very important? Or, can someone figure out how to backout only the refresh/redirect change from the v5.13 files so that the other fixes are still intact? I did a file compare on the ot_coupon.php between 5.13 and 5.13a and could'nt figure out exactly where the refresh/redirect change occured. that's why i just uploated the whole 5.13 file. But i don't want to miss out on the other fixes that were done in 5.13a.

Hi. I recently had v5.13a of CCGV installed on my store and it works quite well! My only question is this: On checkout_payment.php when I enter CC info, and then a coupon code and hit 'Redeem', it refreshes the checkout_payment.php page and correctly applies the coupon, but the cc info is gone. The customer then has to enter it again and Continue to go checkout_confirmation.php Not a great customer experience and it feels like an 'error' occurred. What I want to happen is either: 1. customer goes directly to checkout_confirmation.php when they hit 'Redeem' 2. if checkout_payment.php has to refresh when they hit 'Redeem' they should NOT have to enter a cc # before hitting 'Redeem'. Can the 'Redeem' button be pressed w/o checking for cc info but properly applying the coupon? Then, once it refreshes and applies the coupon they can enter cc info and continue. I have what I think is version 5.10b on another site of mine (this came preinstalled via a template that I bought), and when I enter a coupon code and cc info and hit redeem it goes directly to checkout_confirmation which I like better. Thank you for any help! Regards, -- Josh

Hi. Is there anyway (i'm sure there is but I couldn't figure it out) to only show the dynamic mopics module if there are actually other images for an item? It would be much 'cleaner' to not show the 'Other images for this product', 'no other images currently available' if there are no other images. I recently installed a related products contribution and it only shows that module if there are actually related products. It uses an if statement so 'if there are other images' show the module, else do not. Can this be done with mopics? Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I should have mentioned in my original post that I only want to use the coupon portion of the contribution, not gift vouchers. All I want to do is setup 'simple' 10% off, 20% off, et. coupon codes. Any thoughts as to whether or not a particular version of CCGV is more stable for just Discount Coupons? Or does the same answer apply regardless of what I need the contribution for? Thanks again! -- Josh

Hi. I'm very sorry to interrupt the discussions, but I wanted to ask really quickly what the 'best' version of this contribution is to install. I noticed that the CRE Loaded version uses Credit Class/Gift Voucher/Discount Coupons 5.10b, but I see here (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,282) that there are many updates since then. I'm just trying to figure out what the best version is to try and install. Thanks! -- Josh

I thought I once saw a contribution which would allow me to add my cost of an item in admin (or maybe using Easy Populate). But I can't figure out where I saw this. It would be great if I could see the cost of an item when in /admin/ so I could figure out what sales price I wanted to set. Any thoughts as to where I saw this? Thanks!

Hi. I first want to say that this is a great contribution. I was having the hardest time setting up shipping for US vs. Other countries...but now it's easy! My question is regarding this contribution and its compatibilty with the ShipInCart contribution (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1781 ) On my test site, www.isplendor.com, I have 2 zones setup (UK and US). When a non-logged in customers views their cart they see the US shipping options (as part of ShipInCart). But when a US customer logs in they now see no shipping options in the cart. When they proceed to checkout everything is fine. When a UK customer logs in they DO see their shipping option in the cart, and in checkout. I cannot figure out everything works for everyone, except logged-in US customers can't see the shipping estimates in their cart. I also tried using just 1 MultiGeoZone for UK, and then using a table rate for US customers, but I get the same outcome. If the table rate is set to only show for US customers, then logged-in US customers don't see it in their cart, but it's ok in checkout. If I tell the table rate to show for all zones then it does show in logged-in US customer carts, but of course it also shows for UK customers... Thanks for any help! -- Josh

I also think this is a great contribution but I have one question: I had everything working great when I was just using the table rate shipping method. But I recently installed the MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2571) contribution, and now the shipping options are not showing in my cart for logged-in US customers (I only have the multigeozone active). My cart shows the shipping estimates just fine if you are not logged in, but once logged in as a US customer it shows nothing (just sub-total and total). If you are logged in as UK it shows the UK option. Checkout works fine under all circumstances and all options are there (including logged-in US), it's just the shipping estimate in the cart that isn't working for logged-in US customers. my test site is www.isplendor.com Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks! -- Josh

Can someone explain to me how to setup different shipping zones using the table rate shipping method? When I edit the table rate in admin I can only select one shipping zone. I'm trying to set it up similar to the previous posts where i have one table rate for US customers and a different table rate for Rest of World. Thanks!

Hi. First I just want to say that this is a great contribution! I successfully installed in on my handmade designer jewelry store, but have two minor problems: 1. The main thumbnail at the top of the product_info page has moved about an inch to the right. Here's an example: http://www.blueluxe.com/bee-on-a-pear-p-417.html. You can see that the top image has moved much too close to the Name, Price, Add to cart section... It used to be centered closer to the word 'Description' in Product Description. 2. The outer box is only around the second row of thumbnails (only in IE, FireFox is ok). I checked through the mopics css file and some of the other php files but couldn't fix these issues. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Josh

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get this contribution to work on an existing store, or if it only, 100% of the time, works on a fresh site?

Hi! Even adding just one item via the old way causes my site to load in about 10 seconds. As soon as I remove it i'm down to just 1 second... I undid the contribution and loaded my backup files and i still have the problem. Perhaps it's not related to this transaction but i'm pretty certain the problem started when i added a bunch of specials via this tool. Any other thoughts would be great appreciated. Thanks again!

Hi. I successfully installed this contribution and I think it's great (very easy to use)! One problem however (big problem), and I don't know if it's the contribution causing the problem or something else related to specials, but now when I have any number of specials, even just 1, my main index page slows down to a crawl. The category pages are just slightly better, though still very slow, and the product pages and shipping/contact/etc... are just fine). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, I should have clarified: I need to capture the CVV and Credit Card Type using the default credit card module that comes with osC.

Hi. I see that there are a ton of CVV contributions (http://www.oscommerce.com/community?contributions=&search=cvv&category=all) and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on which are best/easiest... Also, do any of them (or other contributions) include a field for card type (Visa/MC/etc...) Thanks!

Thanks. I finally think I figured out the various pieces that I need... As far as osCommerce goes, once I have a merchant account and authorize.net (if I go with those, i'll read the article you mentioned shortly), do I just have to enable it in admin? Then customers will be able to checkout via CC and remain on my website... Does everything else happen automatically between the gateway and merchant account? Also, are there any other options for osC aside from merchant account + gateway to accept credit cards on my own website (unlike paypal which goes off to their site, and i'm not sure what 2checkout does). What does everyone else use for CC transactions and osC? I've having a hard time finding out what is 'standard' or at least most commong among osC merchants. Thanks again!

Ah, I now realize that innovativemerchant is a merchant, not a gateway. Does the 2checkout payment module allow a user to stay on the site, or does it got a 2checkout screen, like paypal?

Thanks! If I use authorize.net is it as simple as signing up with them and activating the module in osC? Also, does anyone know if innovativemerchant.com is compatible with osC?

I know that I can use a regular PayPal account but customers get sent to paypal to complete the transaction. I understand that there is the paypal payments pro which enables customers to checkout directly on my site, but there doesn't appear to be a way to integrate that with oscommerce? So does that just leave authorize.net as my best option? Thanks!

Thanks for the pointers!

Hi. I recently created a new OSC site and was using Dynamic Product Meta Tags version 2.5 and everything was fine. I then added a 7dana template to my site in which they use the STS template system. It's my understanding that the dynamic product meta tags that i was using will no longer work (and it doesn't), but I should be able to use the Header Tags Controller. My question is, do I have to do a full install of the Header tags controller, or, per the STS readme, it says: This contribution also allows you to use WebMakers.com's Header Tag Controller contribution without having to modify every file on the system. Just copy the Header Tag Controller's include files into place and STS will automatically add them to all pages without having to modify every PHP script in the /catalog/ directory. Thanks!
