I am evaluating viart for commercial use, I have just downloaded it and I am up and running after a couple of hours... great.
 
I am interested in using a java applet called zoomify so that customers will be able to zoom in on product images. Is there a way to implement this in viart?
 
Be kind, I am unfamiliar with the software and not a coder but can do a little hacking...
 
cheers

Hi Kim,
 
You can try to use <object> tag to insert Java applet in any place of template where you want. Also you can use appropriate html code with <object> tag in custom blocks, products description, custom pages and so on. So just insert a code like:
 
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="200" height="200" align="baseline"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.4/jinstall-14-win32.cab#Version=1,4,0,mn">
<PARAM NAME="java_code" VALUE="XYZApp.class">
<PARAM NAME="java_codebase" VALUE="html/">
<PARAM NAME="java_type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4">
<PARAM NAME="model" VALUE="models/HyaluronicAcid.xyz">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="true">
No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.4 support for APPLET!!
</OBJECT>

Thank you for that Eugene!
 
Another question. I have been attempting to upload stock photos. I get a message to change permissions on the /images folder, which I have done, but I still get the same message even though I have chmod to 777.
 
Additionally, I have uploaded the file using my cpanel file manager, but when I try to use it, the admin only sees the original photos that came with original download of viart, not the one that I uploaded despite the fact that I can see it in file manager... What am i doing wrong?
 
Kind regards
Kim

Welcome.
 
Another question. I have been attempting to upload stock photos. I get a message to change permissions on the /images folder, which I have done, but I still get the same message even though I have chmod to 777.
 
'images' is the common folder where all common images reside. It also contains other folders like
'big', 'small', 'super' - for products' images;
'ads' - for ads' images;
'articles' - for images in articles;
'bnrs' - for banners;
'categories' - for categories' images;
'forum' - for forums' images;
'user' - for users' avatars, and so on.
The full list of folders can be seen in admin_select.php
Please make sure that these folders also have writable permission for web server (for all - 777).
 
Additionally, I have uploaded the file using my cpanel file manager, but when I try to use it, the admin only sees the original photos that came with original download of viart, not the one that I uploaded despite the fact that I can see it in file manager... What am i doing wrong?
 
Please check that you have uploaded image files to the folder corresponding to the object you are editing (product, category, forum, user, banner, etc.)

Hi Eugene
 
Thank you for your help, I have changed permissions on all image folders, and I still cannot upload images from my local machine. However, if I use an image that is on my server, albeit outside the viart folder, this shows up fine if I just cut and paste the url into the images textbox on the add products admin page.
 
Do I need to set up an ftp connection between my pc and the server within the viart admin, or have I been going about this all the wrong way?
 
kind regards
Kim

Hi Eugene
 
I am puffing with frustration over this. I really hope it is not pebkac.....
 
Is there any way I can give you access to the test site so that you evaluate what I am doing wrong... I have used cpanel file manager to change permissions to 777 for /images and /images/small..... /super ...../big. I have also 777 /images/products etc.
 
One thing I do find strange is that when I went to use the CMS for changing permission, it reported that the folders I had given global to had only 0775 permission... strange. Also I tried to use the CMS to change the permissions and was given an error message:
 
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/huskyzco/public_html/bigkidsclothes/bigkidsclothesuk/admin/admin_fm.php on line 105
 
Does that have something to do with it? Why is the CMS not picking up remote changes in permissions? I had a look at the code, and there does not seem to be a problem there.
 
I am still positive I am doing something stupid...
 
Cheers
Kim

Hi Eugene
 
It was pebkac....
 
I found out the problem, I had two domains in the same folder in my public_html which caused some kind of conflict. I have now sorted it out, reinstalled viart and the pictures are uploading with no problem, sorry for the hassle, I am posting this in case others have similar blonde moments.
 
Thank you so much for all your help, I am sure I will be back...
 
Kind regards
Kim
