Multi Product Images

[sally01]

Just wondering if anybody else has had a similar problem with Normans Multi Product Images addon. I've attached a copy of the screenshot that shows the error.

Norman suggested over writing the dpimagesupport.php but this has not worked.

Many thanks

You need to restart SellerDeck if you make any changes to dpimagesupport.php.

yes I've tried restarting SellerDeck Norman but still get the same result.

Is that the right file path?

file:///C: looks like there might be too many ///s in it to me. (Not that I know what I’m talking about on this).

[NormanRouxel]

Could this be OneDrive related?

Others have reported problems (not with my add-ons) when they have their SellerDeck site in an OneDrive folder.

I will do a search for OneDrive issues to see if it might be that. Thanks Norman.

I had the same problem with a client using their new 'Swift' on a PC with 'One Drive' ('OneDrive').

'One Drive' dictates the default location to be 'One Drive' in the cloud with your local PC as a sort of outpost. So that if you specify a local file it will not find it as it will be looking in 'One Drive' in the cloud. The file will not be found even if the actual file is present in both locations as Sellerdeck is specifying a local file.

The issue is this line in the Magic Zoom Image List Layout in product image, fragment image and extended info image:

// load useful functions
include_once 'dpimagesupport.php';

The software thinks it is looking in the local machine but One Drive routes to the cloud so everything gets in a pickle.

The solution is to go to the Sites folder on the local machine and open Site1 or whatever the site folder is.

Right click on dpimagesupport.php and click properties

Copy the long path at 'Location'

:

Paste the long path in front of the dpimagesupport.php thus:

// Magic Zoom Plus - Multi Images V3.15R

// load useful functions

include_once 'C:\Users\xxxxxxx\OneDrive\Documents\Sellerdeck v18\Sites\Site1\dpimagesupport.php';

This makes it work!

Well the above post of mine is not working now so this is what I tried next. I reasoned that locally the software would find the file and on the server it needs to be told where to look so I tried this with success so far:

Magic Zoom Image List Swift - the top bit:

// load useful functions
//include_once 'dpimagesupport.php';

// attempt to include dpimagesupport.php when using OneDrive

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsNotPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e">
set_include_path(get_include_path() . ":/home/webabcde/public_html/abcde/acatalog/");
</actinic:block>
include_once 'dpimagesupport.php';

//end

// main code here

Repeat for Fragment Image and Extended Info Image Zoom files.

You can find the path to your files by uploading a pathinfo.php file to your acatalog folder.

Open a plain text editor, and paste in the following:

<?php echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]; ?>

Save the text file as pathinfo.php. Upload the file to your acatalog folder by FTP, or add it to your site folder and then add the file name to Design, Additional Files. The file wll then be uploaded next time you publish to web.
Type the URL to the file you just uploaded into your browser to view the full server path to that file. https://www.yoursite.uk/acatalog/pathinfo.php for example

File dpimagesupport.php is not needed on the server. It is only used when SellerDeck is building pages (both for Upload and Preview) so it's best not to make loading it conditional.

A simpler solution may be to try this: The error message in post #1 indicates that SellerDeck will also look in C:\php\pear for include files. So create such a folder structure on your C drive and copy dpimagesupport.php into it. Close and restart SellerDeck to see if it has helped.

Thank you Norman - very good to see you here. I sort of knew that but the error was visible on the live site as if the site was still looking for the file on the server.

I will try that and post back.

Applied to a live site using One Drive and Norman's "C:\php\pear\dpimagesupport.php" fix in #9 works - Thank you!
