Why Configure Every Product Separately When Used with NextGen Gallery

[darkmatter]

Got it. The biggest part of the problem, for me at least, was actually understanding how to code it in the first place, but ok!

Hi darkmatter,

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work for the past few days.

I have tried to follow this thread as best I can but I can’t for the life of me get anything to display in the custom field.

I have the following:

In template file:

<?php echo get_button_code_for_product(1,$image); ?>

eStore_misc_functions.php:

function get_button_code_for_product($id,$image)

function get_button_code_for_element($ret_product,$line_break=true,$ngg2Image=”)

$var_output = get_variation_and_input_code($ret_product,$line_break,$ngg2Image);

eStore_button_display_helper.php:

function get_variation_and_input_code($ret_product,$line_break=true,$ngg2Image,$button_type=1)

$var_output .= $ret_product->custom_input_label.’: <input type=”text” name=”custom_input” value=”‘.$ngg2Image->alttext.'” class=”eStore_text_input” />’;

Is there any reason why you are using ngg2Image, instead of nggImage? Neither work for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@jonnylaris

All seems correct but what are you using $button_type=1 for? No reason for ngg2Image that I can recall. I may have seen nggImage somewhere already or I might have been toying with it, not sure. I’d use ngg2Image just to be safe.

Did you create your own NGG template file in the view directory copied from gallery-wp-eStore.php? If so make sure the name of it is the same as you call it on the gallery page you’re making. I named the file gallery-wp-eStore-addtocart.php and then used shortcode [nggallery id=x template=wp-eStore-addtocart] in my page.

$button_type=1 was there before i touched it. It read:

function get_variation_and_input_code($ret_product,$line_break=true,$button_type=1)

And yea i created my own template file in the nextgen view folder and called it on the gallery page.

[darkmatter]

I don’t have $button_type=1 in that function. Mine only reads function get_variation_and_input_code($ret_product,$line_break=true,$ngg2Image)

[jonnylaris]

I tried removing $button_type=1 but all that does is take away the drop down box and lists the varitions as text and still nothing in the custom field.

hmmmmm!

[darkmatter]

Try adding the variable at the end and not before $button_type=1

[jonnylaris]

Tried that too, it has the same effect. i.e. displays variations as text and nothing in custom field.

I have tried removing variations all together but still nothing.

[darkmatter]

what’s the url of your gallery

[jonnylaris]

Im working on localhost at the moment as the website is actually live minus the shop right now.

You can view the site here: http://www.lawrencemckenzie.com

Gallery in question: http://www.lawrencemckenzie.com/equestrian/28th-august-2010

I have placed the shop/buttons under each image alt title.

[darkmatter]

In gallery-wp-eStore-addtocart.php:

‘<div id=”ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>” class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box” <?php echo $gallery->imagewidth ?> >

<div class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail” >

imageURL ?>” title=”” <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >

<img title=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” alt=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” src=”<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>” <?php echo $image->size ?> />

<span style=”text-align:center;”><?php echo $image->alttext ?>
</span>

<span style=”text-align:center;”><?php echo get_button_code_for_product(1,$image); ?></span>

</div>

</div>’

Correct?

[jonnylaris]

<div id=”ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>” class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box” <?php echo $gallery->imagewidth ?> >

<div class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail” >

imageURL ?>” title=”” <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >

<img title=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” alt=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” src=”<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>” <?php echo $image->size ?> />

<span class=”prod_detail”>

<?php echo $image->alttext ?>

<?php echo get_button_code_for_product(1,$image); ?>

</span>

</div>

</div>

[darkmatter]

All seems right, dunno what to tell you…

btw $nggImage is already used in eStore_misc_functions.php

What version wp-eStore are you running? mine is 3.4.8

[jonnylaris]

Version v4.1.8, I got it today.

Just to show, I took a screen from the version im working on:

That could be an issue. I’m afraid to upgrade for that reason. The new variables could be interfering somehow. I’d try to install the earlier version with the mod to see if that works. If it still doesn’t then there’s something not configured properly. If it does work then the newer version(s) need more looking into as far as modding.
