X3Photo Gallery Forums

Hello,

I'm currently attempting to add the image buttons as instructed in previous forum postings: (Please see the following for reference)

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=7070

However, when I follow those instructions, I get the following interaction on my screen.

My ultimate goal is to add a custom menu button that will allow for selections to be made and then email my client.

I understand that Fotomoto is the mail supplier for printing and purchasing needs. However, until they get the "self-fullfillment" feature completed, I have to make due with alternatives.

To get started I would just like to get this purchase button completed. *smiles*

Thank you in advance for your help and time.

Warmest Regards,

Jenny Wood

Thank you so much for responding.

The most ideal scenario would be to add the additional button either through the image/controls buttons. Do you have a guide that can show me how to add that additional button? As far as making my own PHP, that is no issue. I just need to understand how to include it within the ImageVue package.

If I cannot get the button set up, do you also have a guide as to how to add the "Buy Now" button to each image? I would have no issue doing that either. I'm just a little stuck at the moment.

Thank you so much for your help and look forward to your response.

Karl,

Thank you so much for your response. I have followed all the steps you have suggested.

The only variation I noticed is:

# Go to admin -> settings -> settings.attributes.image ... Add the purchase item.

The path that is the closest is:

Settings -> Settings -> Attributes.Purchase

There does not appear to be an "image" section for me to click within the attributes. (Please see the screenshot attached.) I am just wondering if that variation matters

Going further into your instructions, I have not figured a way to get the "Buy Now" button to show (or link for that matter). When looking at it in the selected gallery mode. Meaning when someone is looking at a specific image and decides they wish to purchase. I see when it is in a smaller thumbnail. (It then requests a URL which I have to figure out how to link too! I'm such a mess!) I get the standard one in the main controls, but it does not link to anywhere. How do I go about adding the link(s)?

I am very grateful for your help Karl. This is a great product and looking forward to learning as much about it as possible. And yes it IS a pity my client will not take advantage of FOTOMOTO. I know I will be for my own galleries.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Warmest Regards,

Jenny

P.S. On a side note, was I supposed to re-install IV once I got my commercial licence? I'm still functioning off the trial version (after I authenticated it of course). Cheers to you!

Edit:

I have figured out how to link a "buy now" to each image (It's a happy day!!!) Now to create the nice pop-up and form and then sticking the PHP into the mix of ImageVue and not messing up you good folks mojo and breaking the site!

Greatly looking forward to any responses
