Enhanced Dynamic MoPics and Images stored in directories

[cse709]

I recently installed v2.0.15. The installation was easy, even for on non-techie. I would like to clarify what one should expect for image presentation without additional modifications:

All the product thumbnails display properly with the "click to enlarge" link below. When I click on this link, the larger image displays in a separate window or tab. Is this what I should expect?

Does the included configuration of Slimbox2 offer additional functions? If so, what does one have to do to activate it?

What is the best way to add additional product image display functions beyond the out-of-the-box version of v2.0.15?

Thanks for your ongoing patience and support.

"Page Not Found" - needs attention...

Re: Enhanced Dynamic MoPics and Images stored in directories
Out of date - that's what the wiki is for.

Perhaps, but it wouldn't hurt to change the link to point to the wiki. Trust me, the wiki isn't that easy to find for newbies. This page (Enhanced Dynamic MoPics and Images stored in directories - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized) turns up in search engine results, and many of the links on that page are dead. I imagine a few people get the dead link and then wander off in frustration because there is no obvious link to the documents.

If you switch back to fallback template (the default) then Slimbox works out-of-the box.
See Wiki Docs, for further info.

Let's see...

• Did anyone give donations toward this Enh. Dyn. MoPics Project? [Even though quite a few are using this contribution, some direct from my website] One exception.
• Do I control what links work with this site?
• Does it take a lot of brain cells to click the Wiki Docs link at the top of each page?
• Do I enjoy hand-holding to the nth degree?

Answers on a postcard.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but here goes.


When I upload images through the admin page, it creates a big image and a thumbnail for me.

When I use easypopulate to fill the database, I upload the images to the images/ directory by FTP.

NOW, is there any way to get oscmax to automatically create thumbnails and big images for me, as if I had uploaded them through the admin page?

Nope: Use Irfanview - see the wiki/my website.

does the slimbox only work for the main image thumbnail and not the additional images?

[pgmarshall]

Nope - Slimbox works for all the images that you have big images for.

(osCMax Testing Team) does the slimbox only work for the main image thumbnail and not the additional images?

Jeez, that is so basic! Not only that but it groups them into Next, Previous - get testing man!
