A4G! Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hello there! I'm very very new in oscommerce and I never installed any contribution. Can anyone tell me how to install "Simple Multi Image Add-on (Un-Limited) with FancyBox Popups" STEP BY STEP, please? I read the Simple Multi Image Addon.doc file but I understand nothing :'( Thanks!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Patricia, BACK UP ALL YOUR FILES ! Follow the step by step instructions for the contribution. If you make an error, you will get an error message. Post that message (if any) and we can help you fix it. If you are not comfortable installing it, then perhaps you should find someone to install it for you. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4G! Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Hello Thanks for your reply. :thumbsup: I try to follow the install instructions of the contribution, but I don't understand what I have to do: To install you can follow the manual edit method detailed below, or use a file compare tool with your existing files (all additions for this mod are commented within the included files), or use the included files as is, but remember the included files are from the 2.2rc2a distribution, these include updates that do not exist on earlier versions of osC, so may not work for you if that is your case. Instructions Settings are added to admin, they are all within admin->images: Tiny Image Width default 30 Tiny Image Height default 30 Additional images per row/column default 3 Additional Image Format default horizontal Dim background on popup default false Background luminosity default 2 Popup images dragable default false Popup 'swing' effect default true Show popup navigation default false Popup navigation position default middle Additional images per row/column: means if you have more images than the setting they will appear on new rows/columns (depending on layout). Additional Image Format: means your extra product pictures will appear either in rows below the main product picture or in columns to the right of the main product picture. Dim background on popup: Dim the background when popup images are shown. If enabled, this option can make the zoom action less smooth. Background luminosity: How much to dim background on popup, if enabled. Show popup navigation: Always show popup navigation icons, or hide till mouse over. Popup navigation position: Position the popup navigation icons at the top, middle or bottom of images. Images Folder: Some folders within the images directory can be excluded from the drop down selection list through an exclude list. Edit the lines at the start of categories.php. $exclude_folders = array("banners","default","icons","mail","infobox","js"); The line $add_images = 3; is added to categories.php it sets default number of additional image input boxes to show, there will always be at least one empty one (for a new image), regardless of how many images already exist for the product. Notes: Some have trouble due to use of incorrect filenames, you must ensure you don't use any reserved characters when saving your pictures, for best practice do not put any of: $&+,/:;=?@<>#%{}|^~[]` or any spaces or any quotes. If u have Photoshop, it's save for web option will ensure a valid filename. If you run the Uninstall SQL file it will delete all of your additional images from the dBASE, as well as the settings. It will have no effect on your store files. Titles: The original FancyBox titles get squashed with small images, and if the title has to extend over more than one line the titles get mixed with the box borders as they do not expand to suit. This issue is addressed with V1.3, the height of the text-box is now checked & then the height of the borders are dynamically adjusted to suit, this does mean the title may extend over the bottom of the popup image, this cannot be avoided as it cannot move down further. However, border expansion only works in IE, so in other browsers the border is removed for multi-line titles. There is now a setting at the start of product_info, $max_title_length = 40; Sets the maximum length of titles before they are broken into multiple lines. Note: Titles can never by any wider than the image they are displayed with. And furthermore, I have a doubt: Do I have to install fancybox too? Thanks Edited March 3, 2010 by A4G!

gruntstyle Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I cannot install this add-on to save my life. I have made multiple attempts and many rechecks to get it right and always come up with the same error. Would anybody be interested in doing it for me if I paid them? I just need it installed so I put up the pictures my self. Please respond to [email protected] if you're interested. Name your price. I can pay you through paypal right away.

gruntstyle Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I believe the problem is that I ordered a template from templatemonster.com and then I customized it. This may have some conflict with the code from this specific add-on. I am not that comfortable or familiar with php programing. Quote This is my signature.
