    Upgrading To ReadyTheme - Keep Product Images?

    I'm getting ready to upgrade my store to use a ReadyTheme but I want to be sure that it is not going to mess with my product images. Miva set up a dev site for me and all of the images that were loaded through the 'add images' tab are gone (legacy images are still there). I just want to be sure this was unique to the dev site creation and not a problem with the ReadyTheme upgrade. I don't want to have to re-link 3,000 images :(

    MMUI to CSSUI here. I had (still am) assigning top images as "main" to get them to fire in the dev store. if you didn't want to do that im sure you can change the way they are called in. I myself wanted things to work without voodoo, so im spending time assigning.

      My old store is a CSSUI. Do you think the problems that you had were due to the UI conversion?

        How was the dev store created? Was it a copy of the site first or did you import the products via csv?

        If you imported the products using image types but without the images having been in the dev site folders first the path would have been lost during import.

          Hi Mark,
          Miva started with a fresh Miva and imported the data into it so I bet that is what happened. I take it from your reply that if the images are already in place that the upgrade to a ReadyTheme should still keep the correct paths to the images?

            If you're just using the theme (exporting the framework to existing store) my guess is it would be fine.

            The problem still comes from you needing to have your images assigned the type of "main" or they will not show on ctgy pages with the way they've set it up the themes default code. Do you already use/assign image types every time you upload a picture to a product?

            It's because of this which could technically be changed &mvte:product:imagetypes:main;

            Code:
            <span class="flag &mvt:product:flag;">                    <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:imagetypes:main">
                                    <img src="&mvte:product:imagetypes:main;" alt="&mvte:product:name;" title="&mvte:product:name;" />
                                <mvt:else>
                                    <img src="../images/img_no_thumb.jpg" alt="&mvte:product:name;" title="&mvte:product:name;" />
                                </mvt:if>
                                <mvt:if expr="l.settings:seo_settings:sl_active">
                                    <span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview">Quick View</span>
                                <mvt:else>
                                    <span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;&show=quickview">Quick View</span>
                                </mvt:if>
                            </span>

              The default prod page also needs the image type main to be assigned so that images will zoom.
              Code:
              <span data-icon="&#x54;" id="js-main-image-zoom" class="main-image" data-index="0"><img src="graphics/en-US/cssui/blank.gif" alt="&mvte:product:name;" title="&mvte:product:name;" id="js-main-image" data-image="&mvt:product:customfield_values:productimagecustomfields:main;" /></span>

                Aaron, My issues stemmed from not having images assigned. Meaning we used Legacy from the early days, then used the "Images" tab to upload images and alternates, BUT we didn't assign the top one for each product as "Main", or whatever you may have called them. That was the problem as the images were not zooming, or showing up in categories, or displaying as thumbs. I could have re coded to call for the old path, but in the end it just seemed (even though it will take me quite the time) the best course for ease and functionality was to assign and as Mark said default is "Main".

                  Thank you Mark and Dan. I have been using the image tab to upload but I have never assigned any as the 'main'. I guess I never really understood the reason for 'main'. I also have several hundred products left over with legacy images so it looks like those might be broken as well.

                  If I can get my importing problem figured out then I'm just going to try the new framework tomorrow and see what it does. I will report back what happens. Fingers crossed.
