Dynamic Mo Pics :: Allows more than one image per product

[peter]

I have installed the MS2 Max. I don't see anywhere I can add more than one pic per item. Please let me know. thanks

Read the mo-pics instructions in the zip file. It tells you how to use it.

All you do is setup the naming/dir scheme you are going to use, and upload the images to the correct directories. The mod automatically picks up the images and puts them in the product pages.

Thank you for your help.

Acutally, I did read the intall.txt file. On the last step it said "installation is now complete. Naming scheme configuration is defined
in "Admin -> Configure -> Dynamic MoPics""

But I don't see there is Dynamic Mopics under Configure in the admin page.

Do you think this is something wrong for the installation or it is just like this on the current version?

Thank you for your time

I am having the same problem. It does not appear to be funtioning. When I click on the larger image link it send me to the thumbs directory.
I have looked at the install instructions and maybe there was a step missed...This step

Step 3:

open catalog product_info.php

Place this where you would like the MoPics to show up:

<tr>
<td>
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DYNAMIC_MOPICS); ?>
</td>
</tr>

is not there.

@mike: Nope, no step missed. MS2-MAX uses BTS template sytem, so the code you refer to is in a template in the templates/content directory, not in the product_info.php file.

@peter: If you are not seeing the dynamic mopics link in the admin, there is a problem with your installaton or your admin permissions, because it is installed and active by default. Under 'Configuration' in the admin, the very last link should be Dynamic MoPics.

Good Morning -
We must all be working on the same thing this morning -- I came over to see if there was additional info here. If anyone finds the answer, please post. THANKX.

1) I have the mopix option in the admin
2) I set up the naming scheme
3) added product and am not finding that I can add additional PIX.

Am going back to look further.

Anne

P.S. I am assuming that the following two steps have been completed? Is this a correct assumption?

Step 4:

copy catalog popup_image.php and includes/modules/dynamic_mopics.php to their
appropirate locations.

====================================
Step 5:

Import dynamic_mopics.sql into the database

I added a few new products and the images are not being uploaded into the images_big directory. They are going to the "images" directory. I think that somehow I've turned something off and don't know how to turn it "on".

[michael_s]

annea03, you manuallly upload the big pictures to the images_big directory. And yes you are missing something. If you are using the default mopics setup inclued in MS2-MAX, when you create your product, the image path needs to be thumbs/image.jpg in the Products Image field.

Then after you set up your product, you need to upload the thumbnail image manually to the thumbs dir.

Then, if you have more pics that you want on your product page, you manually upload the images to the thumbs dir and the images_big dir, and you name them according to the naming scheme you have set up in the admin.

And mo pics is 100% setup and configured. All you have to do is upload your images and set the correct thumbnail path. and it will automatically work. In fact, EVERY mod included in MS2-MAX is installed and working, ready for immediate use. No additional coding is needed. That is the whole purpose of MS2-MAX. Out of the box usability.

Msasek-
Thanks for the in depth reply. I'm getting ready to give it a try.

THANKS AGAIN
Anne

Msasek, I tried this and it does not work. I like to think of myself as a somewhat knowledgable person, but when I put in thumbs/imagename.gif in the products image field nothing happens...I get a Warning: Image not uploaded error and no picture. When I have the image already sitting in the thumbs directory I would expext the image to show up in the product image box, but it does not. I am using the defaults for mopics that came with Max

Please help me understand where I am confused.
