Levels Readytheme Storefront Slider is Broken

[birdwaves]

Hi Folks,
I upgraded our development site to version 10 the other day. It has broken our Storefront Slider. It only displays the first image now. The rest do not appear. I contacted support, and they suggested this:
With the Miva 10 update, some users with slider images on their site have needed to update their template code. The 'Image_Load_ID" function was replaced by 'Image_Load_File, which has caused some broken sliders. It is most likely that this is the issue you are experiencing and your template code must be updated in order for your slider images to appear again.

I did as I was directed. I found only one instance of Image_Load_ID and replaced it with Image_Load_File. This had no effect. The slider is still broken.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

When updating the function, you will need to update what it is looking for. In the old version, you would enter the image id:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="Image_Load_ID(image_id, image var)" />

In the new version, you have to use the file path:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="Image_Load_File(image_filepath, image var)" />

Does the Image_Load_ID function no longer work?

ids Correct, when ReadyTheme Images were converted to ManagedProperties in v10, the image_id field was removed.

Ouch. I wish I could remember which clients I've used this function. I suppose I'll find out eventually aye.

so is theImage_Load_File(l.settings:packaging_imagetype: image_id, l.settings:packaging_imagedata)" />
changed also to
Image_Load_File(l.settings:packaging_imagetype:ima ge_filepath, l.settings:packaging_imagedata)" />

this is from a custom template where I am getting the image that is assigned to the type packaging

<itemGraphic>

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="ImageType_Load_Code('packaging', l.settings:packaging_imagetype)"/>

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="ImageType_Load_Code('main', l.settings:main_imagetype)"/>

<mvt:do name="l.success" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="ProductImage_Load_Type(l.settings:record:id , l.settings:packaging_imagetype:id, l.settings:packaging_imagetype)" />

<mvt:do name="l.psuccess" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Image_Load_File(l.settings:packaging_imagetype:image_id, l.settings:packaging_imagedata)" />

<mvt:do name="l.success" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="ProductImage_Load_Type(l.settings:record:id , l.settings:main_imagetype:id, l.settings:main_imagetype)" />

<mvt:do name="l.msuccess" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Image_Load_File(l.settings:main_imagetype:i mage_id, l.settings:main_imagedata)" />


<mvt:comment>prefer packaging image if it is noted else show main image</mvt:comment>

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:packaging_imagedata:image">

     <mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:image" value="'https://www.sextoydistributing.com/Merchant2/' $ l.settings:packaging_imagedata:image"/>&mvte:record:image;

<mvt:else>

     <mvt:assign name="l.settings:record:image" value="'https://www.sextoydistributing.com/Merchant2/' $ l.settings:main_imagedata:image"/>&mvte:record:image;

Hi Matt,
My current code looks like this:

 <mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.settings:readytheme:image_slider2" value="Image_Load_ID( l.settings:readytheme:loaded_slider:image_id, l.settings:readytheme:loaded_slider_source )" />

What exactly should it look like?

Thanks!

[Matt Zimmermann]

You're code would look something like this:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.settings:readytheme:image_slider2" value="Image_Load_File('graphics/00000001/FILE_NAME.jpg', l.settings:readytheme:loaded_slider_source )" />

Hi Matt,
It would appear that there is something else at play here. I swapped in your code, and I still only get the first image. If I inspect element, it appears to be trying to swap in the next images, but nothing appears. There are 9 images total.

I don't know where the documentation for the new sliders is, and it seems like you are giving me general suggestions and I am to fill in the blanks. If you can help me with this more specifically, that'd be great.

Thanks

[Matt Zimmermann]

I would recommend contacting either support or professional services so they can take a look at the code to advise further.

As I noted in my original post, I contacted support first. I was given inadequate information to resolve my issue. I came here hoping to find some help.

Would it be possible to use an a conditional within slider that uses Image Theme Component? It would sure simplify things for store owners.

Ideally, I would like to see a UI wherein store owner uploads the image via Theme Component with a schedule option like Price Groups, and "put an end the coding"!

I am with you on the conditional William, this is the one thing that broke with my v10 dev upgrade. I might just hard code things for now but it isn't ideal.

If you have a solution for hard coding, that would be a great help. We were completely blindsided by this update. My client had someone else up to our current, but now deprecated theme only 2 years ago...

birdwaves Can you post the HTML code you are using for the slider either here or in a Gist?
