( little details like having to use the * * for each search mask !!  I had  deleted the default installed examples a week ago remember - they didn't look relevant and I didn't realise there were no support docs or info )

From a novice's point of view, that's merciless !!

paul

But that is the point I'm making and would ask you to consider taking on board ( and I'm sure you do already to some degree ) - well constructed and accurate instructions is good and a must of course, that the instructions be written with the mind of the novice in mind. Don't be afraid to add even tiny extra detail or explanation or example, it can save a lot of heartache and time.

Just something to keep in mind. I know it's a smallish thing overall,  but novices will love you for it ( it's a big marketing factor I assure you ).

paul

PS  I'm not saying your instructions aren't communicated well, they are, but sometimes terminology and processes could benefit from a little bit extra clarification, example or explanation.

Yes, I can appreciate some of the terminology will go over the head of novices. That said, its how I learnt. I pulled my hair out on many an occasion not understanding stuff. It still happens now. I always find it a good learning curve to try and figure stuff out.

Next update will hopefully surface in Feb.

Its any path that is an image path, regardless of where it is. The zoom viewer for the images uses the image links in the a tags. Thats how most of those type of lightbox style things work.

Ok - but you can see how it's harder for folk who aren't familiar with the understood descriptions, and all the variations, so that exact specificity ( this is a word that our last prime minister became famous for, btw ! - and now I'm using it...) is what I need as I follow to script, as that's all I have to go on usually - the words in the instructions.

It's a common situation when experienced programmers / coders are communicating to groups that include people without the training. But we get through it ( but I don't know how sometimes ).

So thanks for the help......( and the server crash didn't help - I was in the middle of the upgrade mess when it happened )

And yes, all seems good now, touch wood ( the seas have calmed ) and the site is currently updated to 2.0.4, which I did this afternoon.

paul

Pabs, what version are you using atm ?

hi gwp

When I was posting these posts I was attempting to complete the upgrade from 2.0.2 to  2.0.3.

Which I finally did, with the removal of that last 'templates/products/'  from the segment of code I had intentionally left untouched yesterday because it wasn't directly connected to an img src tag.

I've since, this afternoon here, upgraded further to 2.0.4. ( which was less traumatic )

Relief is an understatement !!

paul

Is the href tag also recognised as an img src tag, btw ? though ( nothing personal !! ) you didn't specify I was to search for that tag as well...gives you an idea of the untrained headspace anyway...l

Oh and .index? I doubt you`ll need that in b4text and its not a valid file extension.

Hopefully you are ok now?

There was an instance of templates/products/ in products-pictures-img.htm that had an 'href=' with templates/products/, but I had left that alone yesterday as it was not an 'img src tag that you had specified

But I tried removing it and uploading and it seems to have done the trick.

And, is the upgrade right now ?

paul

These are my search masks in the b4Text app :  *.php* *.htm* *.html* *.index*

Am I missing something ? ( would explain why some code still left, if it is )

paul

Yes, its still loading 'templates/products'. Remove all these paths. Glad you are gradually getting there. Yes, it seems you didn`t use b4text correctly

But it's my understanding I have removed all instances of templates/products/ already....going by the txt file instructions list.

I went through all files in templates/html. Can you see where I've missed somewhere ?

So what are you suggesting here exactly ?

paul

from what i can see of your source code, its a problem with where the image files are being kept.
templates/products/templates/products/product20-1.png"
it should be
templates/products/product20-1.png

David will know the answer

Hi gwp

Thanks for the input. I've just had a look onsite and the images are actually being kept in templates/products. So they're in the right place, just the calling is out of whack I guess....

2.04 shouldn`t be so bad, I think it was just a database update. I`m going to introduce a template override option in 2.05 to fix templates getting affected on updates.

The thumbs here sometimes seem to be always loading and the hover zoom function rarely works, when you select the different thumbs for viewing.

I've still missed something then have I ??
