hi david - welcome back !
And a Hairy New Year to you....
I just right now upgraded ( spread out over several days and hours and crossed fingers ), and all seems ok so far, but the thumbnail images are not displaying ( just text alternative ), though they seem to be there in the product listing in admin.
Couldn't see anything relevant in the forums - and before I go on to 2.0.4 - I thought I'd best fix this first.
Any ideas ?
Site is here :

muchos gracias if you can help

PS - ADDED AT LATER DATE ( after the next 2 posts ) : actually SOME thumbs display it seems -
1. item listing main thumb displays in item listing page, but for any other thumbs available for that listing, just the text alternative displays, though the text alternative displays the thumb when selected -
2. no thumbs for items in the item list in the category page ( hope I said that right ), just the linked text.
3. no thumbs in the left menu / column boxes, just the linked text.

hi christ2000
Uhm...you might have to explaing that to me a little slower - I didn't quite understand what you meant exactly...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I redid the template code modification relating to the thumbs - there was a single file missed when I batch processed previously. But it didn't make any difference....

I still am totally stumped here - any suggestions at all david ? It was a nightmare of an upgrade for me this one.

Paul,
Did you change the image paths? When I look at your source code, the paths have not been updated.
If you still don`t understand, contact me via email and we`ll take it from there.
Offline
I thought I had followed all the instructions - but I don't know how to answer your question here.
Where and how would I have updated the image paths, if I had ? ( I, like many, can follow most instructions without actually understanding the concepts or what's actually happening or why, you see )
I followed all the instructions in the txt file - are the image paths the code replacements mentioned at the botoom of the txt file instructions ? ( which I did - the thmbs I did twice - but it's possible I wasn't using the b4text app properly. Wasn't 100% sure it was actually working or I was using it right.
paul
PS can you tell me what you suggest I do - which actions to redo or check ?....and I'll have a crack at it

Do a search of the templates and see if you find this path in an image src tag. If you do remove it.
templates/products/

hang on - forming a question...

how much of the path do I remove ? just the words 'template/product' and leave anything else in tact ?
That's a big directory - do you mean all the files in all the folders in mycart/templates directory ?

So far, just one in the single files in that folder :
This:
<p><img src="templates/products/<?php echo $this->IMG; ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->TEXT[1]; ?>" title="<?php echo $this->TEXT[1]; ?>" /></p>
which became this :
<p><img src="<?php echo $this->IMG; ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->TEXT[1]; ?>" title="<?php echo $this->TEXT[1]; ?>" /></p>
if I followed that right.
It's uploaded.
I did this one by one with notepad++.
But don't you mean templates/html ? ( before I go further ? )

Am currently going through templates/html - real slow ...

Ok, I went through it all again, double checking as I went.
Picked up some errors where I'd removed what shouldn't have been , and not removed things that should've been removed.
It also looks like either I didn't use the b4Text app properly or it didn't work cleanly when I used it.
But it all seems ok now.
WHEW !!! ( allelujah ! )
...bugger. Now I've got to do the upgrade to 2.0.4 !!!!

Uhm....I may still have something out of sorts -
The thumbs here sometimes seem to be always loading and the hover zoom function rarely works, when you select the different thumbs for viewing.
See here :

I've still missed something then have I ??

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

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
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.

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....

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 ?

Just checking :
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

ok, started doing a redo of yesterday's work. In templates/html.
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.
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...
And, is the upgrade right now ?

Pabs, what version are you using atm ?
Offline

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

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 !!

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.

Thanks Paul.
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.

Well, that's kinda a relief to know that even you have battled....
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.
