You'll need to add a new product or edit the photo on an existing one.

This version of admincp/productforums.php will let you edit images even if there was already an upload.

Adding a new product works perfectly, editing an existing product image is also working. :)

So I will need to edit the images of all existing products to make the images work properly, bit of a pain but I can live with that, thank you for some seriously excellent and first rate support Ted, you're a heck of a fine chap. :up:

We can fix this with a simple query...

Code:
update pf_product set mainphoto = replace(mainphoto, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
update pf_product set mainphoto_thumb = replace(mainphoto_thumb, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
update pf_product set mainphoto_small = replace(mainphoto_small, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
Or something along those lines depending on your current image paths.

[Note: to replace \ you must escape it with another \ thus \\]

What a star, I used this:

Code:
update pf_product set mainphoto = replace(mainphoto, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
update pf_product set mainphoto_thumb = replace(mainphoto_thumb, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
update pf_product set mainphoto_small = replace(mainphoto_small, '\\productphotos\\', 'productphotos/');
and everything is fine, just had to re-upload an image for the one I changed earlier and it's working properly now. :)

Thank you Ted. :)

Images aside, how's the rest of the addon working for you?

Images aside, the addon works without flaw or error, the improvements in 1.3 are absolutely breath-taking, very very excited about the coming stable release. :)

Ted S 07-21-2012 09:49 PM
With the release of 1.3.1 stable we wanted to provide a quick recap on how to upgrade. While the process is straight forward and quick, the new image uploading and other features do make it important to go through a few extra steps so please read on and ask if you have any questions:

1. Start with a backup of your forum for this or any other mod you install.

2. Download the latest version of PRF and upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum directory

3. From your AdminCP update the Product Forums plugin package to the included file

4. Review the main addon settings paying special attention to the new upload and image paths if you wish to use the image uploading features

5. Run the image sync script to convert existing images from external links to local images [requires cURL and GD]

6. Post your comments / suggestions whether they're good, bad or indifferent back here for us, and everyone else in the community

This is a major update and as such you'll see changes throughout the templates and phrases. As always we encourage you to make the mod your starting place and customize beyond it with the options and your own adjustments.

For those who wish to use the image uploader & sync script you will need to have cURL and GD installed on your server and be able to create a writeable folder for images to be saved in. Images can be processed either one at a time by editing an existing product or in bulk by using the sync images link which will fetch all external images and resize, localize and update them [credit too Simon Jarvis].


The complete install & customization guide can be found @ http://www.giftery.me/productforums/howto/

Ted S 07-21-2012 10:31 PM
Wondering what's new? Here's the main changes [yes, there's a lot of them]
  • Customizable rating options... yes/no, 5-star and text freeform
  • Product images. You upload, we resize [gd required]
  • Bulk image importing from external links [curl & gd required]
  • Thumbnails all over... the product index, even forum display
  • Activity Stream updates when a review is posted
  • Support for user-selected thread prefixes
  • Automatic add product links for the user
  • Improvements to product management for speedier changes
  • Cleaned up product adding interfaces for admin use
  • Lots of small tweaks, bug fixes and other changes
See the full change log @ http://www.giftery.me/productforums/changelog

Hi Ted, great product and you saved me lots of money with this. I've got the beta working good but the only thing is I can't find where users can upload the pictures.

Thanks.

They don't. For a variety of reasons we opted not to build this into 1.3, or at least not uploads. Of course end users can specify a link for an image which, if you run the sync script, will get converted in.

Hey Ted,

importing bulk xml's isn't working on my site, is there something I am missing here, I import a bulk xml, the script runs and says done but there are no products showing at all!

Is your product feed in the right format? If so you'll see an update on each product if finds and whether it's new, existing or incomplete.

Perfect, thanks Ted

Hey Ted,
what happened to the images on the forum/productforums.php page, the product listings no longer have images, has this feature been removed since the Beta?

Nothing was changed in this between beta 2 and the final... In our test site images show up just fine.

Have you checked your template to be sure it's not using an older, customized version?

Okay, had to revert some templates, huge changes in some templates then, the files don't even compare in winmerge, they are too different now, will have to figure out my changes again, no biggie I guess, just annoying.

Thanks for your help Ted, much appreciated. ):

Kirk Fitzgerald 07-22-2012 01:56 PM
Little addition for anyone wanting it in the forumdisplay for your products, to add the +add new product button to be at the top of the thread listing as well as the bottom, do the following:

Open FORUMDISPLAY

FIND:
Code:
<div id="above_threadlist" class="above_threadlist">
BELOW ADD:
Code:
<vb:if condition="$show['newproduct']">
        <a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}productforums.php?do=addproduct" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_newproduct}</a>
</vb:if>
Perhaps something you could add in future release Ted, not essential as easy enough to hack. :)

There's no hook to add it there or we would have :(

Do the products become threads that are automatically Added to the SEO sitemap each night?

Will these threads also be included in the RSS feed for the site?

Products are regular threads and will show up in any regular syndication although since the details are saved separately aside from the title you may want to commit them from your RSS process.

Ted,
just updated to the latest version and all seem to work great but I have an issue with the images.
I added the URL from an external image by using the option "add new product" on the site itself.
When I sync then the pics in my admin CP I get the following message:
Code:
couldnt understand the image for - skipping
All Done!
When I look in the created thread the pic is there however looking into the general overview page the thumbnail is not there. Just a question mark.
I looked into my server and the thumbnail was created in the correct folder. Also when I looked into the link where the question mark is it points to the correct image and folder on my server.

What could be wrong?
Thanks for any help
Michael

RPSmedia 07-22-2012 08:14 PM
Which version gives you image uploading then?

"Product images. You upload, we resize [gd required]"

Also, how do you add different fields (sorry if I missed how to, I searched)

Hey Ted, I downloaded and installed version 1.2.3 and have really not used it yet. Would it be better for me to uninstall that version, and then install the newest version? Or just upgrade the older version I mentioned?

1.3+ gives admin photo uploading and resyncing user submitted images.

You add fields through your AdminCP. Expand the first PRF option group on the navbar.

When you install a vBulletin mod it adds version 1, 2, 3, etc... to account for upgrades so it really makes no difference.

Michael -

I'm not sure I'm following... you get the error but see a local copy of the main image for the same product but not a thumbnail? When you view the thumbnail created directly does the image file work [render]?

Sorry if my explanation was a little complicated to follow.
I went through all the steps again and I found the issue. I had something wrong in my URL settings for the image folder.

Really sorry I have wasted your time to follow up on this while it was my mistake. Feel so stupid right now.

Now it works, really nice component ...

you can upload images to the users?

In my forum is on the box for quick response.
Is there a way to disable it in the forum to display the reviews?

Sorry for being a pain. I'm running 1.3.0 beta 2.

I'm guessing you're talking about adding fields in the Custom Ratings Field? When I do that, nothing shows up.

** edit - I just upgraded to 1.3.1 but still can't get the extra options to show up. Thanks.

Kirk Fitzgerald 07-23-2012 02:24 PM
Hi Ted,
found a bug, when searching for products in the admincp, when I select a specific category (Pipes) I get a page saying 151 results and the first 10 results, when i click next page the search result returns 'all' 366 products not just the remainder of the 151 from Pipes that I searched for.

End users can not upload images. They can however add a url for an image which the admin can either upload or import via the image sync script.

Have you upgraded from a past version? If so, check that your templates are all reverted.

If not, what are the settings on your custom groups?
