Ivy told me that she did some testing and this is what she found:
I can see the HTML code in the page with the images being there with the proper rel code but the lightbox plugin is not picking up the additional images. The following could be the reason:
– It could be that you are missing a PHP library from your server (The GD PHP library is required)
– Maybe the lightbox plugin is having an issue with the images you are using. Try downloading some sample images from the web and use them (just to test)
Your other option is to not use eStore’s product display (using eStore’s product display is optional). Simply create your product display on the post or page however you want it. This post has more explanation:
April 12, 2011 at 10:21 am #30982inesrodriguesMemberI have diggin’ a bit about that library.
http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php
There is an option on the site control panel that allows me to use “PHP 6 dev” (under development). I have found that in the official php page, it says that gd libaries are supported since version 5 or 4…
However, your last option gave me an idea I can use the product listing as a sort of template with all options and variations And on the product image, i will upload the main image (the one that loads greatly) with a preview of all options/ product sizes shown in that very same image.
Thanks
April 12, 2011 at 10:57 am #30983inesrodriguesMemberBy the way: i see i have installed a different lightbox (the one that works better) I think i may uninstall the previous one as it caused troubles
By the way: may i still using the wp eStore extra shortcodes…? Or is there any other way to show the categories list on a widget without the extra short codes?
Thanks again
April 12, 2011 at 3:05 pm #30984inesrodriguesMembercorrection: you have installed a different lightbox
April 13, 2011 at 12:41 am #30985amin007ParticipantYeah you can use eStore extra shortcode plugin (nothing wrong with using that one)
April 13, 2011 at 8:07 am #30986inesrodriguesMemberok thanks a lot.
April 13, 2011 at 3:05 pm #30987inesrodriguesMemberOk. I have istalled and activated the extra short codes. Also found out what the issue is now. My theme is not “lightbox friendly”. But i will take care of it from now on.
Thanks again
May 1, 2012 at 4:57 pm #30988linsfortMemberI am presently working on a site selling medical products karunaflame.com.karunaflame/products I have installed the e-cart and everything seems fine but one simple issue that I cannot seem to solve, None of my product images are showing (thumbnail) I am not sure where they are stored but when I click on one it shows the pop up version OK but alas not the thumbnail. I had a look at the source code and when I copied into my browser e.g. http://karunaflame.com/karunaflame/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-products/lib/timthumb.php?src=http://karunaflame.com/karunaflame/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/aroma.jpg&h=125&w=125&zc=1&q=100″ and click on the link from the source code I get this message:
A TimThumb error has occured
The following error(s) occured:
Could not find the internal image you specified.
Query String : src=http://karunaflame.com/karunaflame/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/aroma.jpg&h=125&w=125&zc=1&q=100
TimThumb version : 2.8.5
Not sure what the probem is but it does not seem to be saving thumbnail versions of products. Such a simple thing to get caught out in after everything else works fine.
Thanks!!!
May 1, 2012 at 5:00 pm #30989linsfortMemberSorry wrong URL in previous post.
Should be: http://karunaflame.com/karunaflame/shop/products/
May 1, 2012 at 5:21 pm #30990linsfortMemberFound out some kind of solution to no product images showing I unchecked the:
Enable Smart Thumbnail Option in the Settings page and this showed the images but a little squashed. Will have to do better images and hopefully solve it at some time.
May 2, 2012 at 12:15 am #30991adminKeymasterYeah it means the library that is used to do smart thumbnailing is not working on this server (it can happen if the PHP graphics library (GD library) is not installed on this server). Unchecking the “Enable Smart Thumbnail Option” is the correct course of action.
