I was able to get the image in the shopping cart

with <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=img VALUE="<?php echo $upload['filename'] ?>"/>

but its the full size image

I have variables to add a thumb but not sure how

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=img VALUE="http://ssl.securesites.com/images/purse.jpg">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=img2 VALUE="http://ssl.securesites.com/images/purse_large.jpg">



thanks

Hi,

Try this for the getting the thumbnail URL:

<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>

Hi thenetgirl,

I know this may sound simplistic, but is it possible to use a foreach loop like this to display the thumbnail image somehow?

<?PHP foreach ($your_tableRecords as $record): ?>
<?php foreach ($record['uploads'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth2'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight2'] ?>" alt="" />
<?php endforeach ?><?php endforeach ?>


If not, could you be a bit more specific or attach the code you're using outside of the one line you posted?

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi,

On your form you have two hidden fields that use the name of the image, img and img2. img has the actual path (cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb/), where img2 just uses the name.

On your shopping cart page (cart.pl), which variable is being used to display the picture?

Let me know.

Hi,

If you view the source, you'll see that the path in the <a> tag is correct, but the path in the <img> tag is this:
cmsAdmin/uploads//cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb

You'll need to change this so that the only path being outputted is the path from the hidden img variable.

Give that a try.

Hi,

What's happening is probably something like this:
your <a> probably looks like this:
<a href="*IMG VARIABLE" >
Which does work correctly.

The <img> tag however, probably looks like this:
<img src="cmsAdmin/uploads/*IMG VARIABLE*" />
What it needs to look like is this:
<img src="*IMG VARIABLE*" />

This is the correct path to the picture. You can set the height and width to whatever you like.

Hope this helps. If you're still having trouble, attach a copy of you cart script and I'll take a look.

Thanks

ok this is really funny I changed the path in my cart now the little image works but not the big one

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=img VALUE="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>"/>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=img2 VALUE="<?php echo $upload['filename'] ?>"/>

I suppose i can live with that. Only having one image in the cart & i'd rather it be the little one any way
