Product image only showing in product page

[hollowgram]

Ok, I've been reading and Googling my butt off before posting, so please hear me out.

I bought the rgb-store template from TemplateSquare that features products on the front page and Specials in a slider at the top of the page.

My problem is that creating a product and uploading an image via the standard page results in the front page/specials slider/product listing thumbnail to be broken (tries finding the image in /images/picture.jpg) rather than /images/thumbs/picture.jpg.

So, my question is: what code do I need to modify for the thumbnail to display elsewhere than just the product page.

Thanks in advance!

C'mon, no help? There's got to be a solution I'm missing!

Firstly, this is a free forum, supported by people in their own free time - not your dedicated technical support helpline!

Your 1st port of call should surely be the place where you got the template from - given that you paid for it. Get the supplier to fix it - it is not an inherent flaw in 'Max but a template that has not been updated to reflect important changes in the software.

If you care to look in the fallback template, you will find corresponding files that you can compare to those of your purchased template (probably). Use those to slot in the missing code - there are a number of places that Dynamic Mopics is used.

Good Luck.

Thanks riderx,

I don't mean to be a dick, I'm merely stressed out because things aren't working the way they're supposed to.

I have emailed TemplateSquare and they've been ****e in their customer support unfortunately and they provided no documentation with their theme, aside from installation.

Thank you graciously for the 'fallback' theme comparison tip, didn't cross my mind but the infoboxes that I'm trying to implement show up in there AND the images load fine, so thanks a million, this will help me leaps and bounds!

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get some advice building a custom shipping module (four options with conditionals (e.g. available only after a certain total, free after € 100 value, etc.) to save me posting a new thread, would you?

osCMax is really awesome but everything's so spread out in relation to the tutorials/advice.

The documentation is all in one place: http://wiki.oscdox.com.

Use the search box at the bottom of the wiki to find what you need without having to click through all the links. If its not in the wiki, then you should search the forum.

Next, documentation doesn't really cover custom templates, so there is not much you will find to help. Depending on how they built the template will affect a lot of things, but the easiest way to get everything working is to compare your custom main_page.tpl.php and stlyesheet.css to those in the fallback template and merge elements that are missing from yours. This will require some understanding of php and html, its not difficult.

Once you have merged in that stuff, then look in the /content folder in your template. Any tpl.php files in your content folder, compare to those in the fallback template/content folder. Merge in any differences (especially those relating to image handling as that is where your problem lies).

Hopefully that gives you a good starting point.

The main problem with most template stores is that they show you a whizzy example of what your store "could" look like ... then once you have purchased it you find out that all the bespoke code that makes it "whizzy" doesn't work on the latest version of the software.

This is not just an issue for osCmax but all the platforms ... zen, cre, etc.

Switch your site back to default to make sure it is still working ... then compare (as Michael says) the contents of the files within your template folder to the fallback folder ... Merge any missing code across to your purchased template ...

Regards,

Thank you all for your tips, comparing to the fallback is genius, I can't believe that didn't occur to me!

And yes, I've contacted TemplateSquare support but they're replying with generalities (product image is not the same on all areas) or outright not answering.

osCMax is awesome, just takes some time to swivel into it. Thanks again for your fantastic support!

Regarding Shipping modules:
A modified Table Rate may suffice. Have a look at the Multi-zone version to see how it can be extended. Also have a look at the one on my website, which does discounted shipping rates. There are a few others in the Projects section of this website.

Oh by the way, don't listen to Michael_S. He may be "The Boss" (actually, he's The Man ) but only has a Rep of 10, even after 16,500 posts!

Ok, now you've done it. I was holding my rep power at 10 artificially to keep things fair.

I just applied the same rules to me as everyone else... How ya like me now?
