Handling regular images

For the regular images there is no need to do anything.

Handling 360°/3D

To add 360° images go to 'Items' -> 'AJAX-ZOOM' panel and select a product. There you will be able to:

• Define one ore more 360° spins for the product.
• Upload 360° images right from the backend or
• Select a zip file which contains images for a 360° set to import. These zip files must be uploaded in /engine/Shopware/Plugins/Community/Frontend/AjaxZoom/zip directory and can be removed later.
• After importing or uploading the images manually you will be able to make some adjustments for this particular 360°, e.g. change rotation speed and many other options available for AJAX-ZOOM.
• Preview 360° in Fancybox before publishing.
• Activate / deactivate 360° view.
• Select combinations, e.g. color and size for which a 360° view should be shown. You can add more than one 360° view for a product.
• Create a 360° "Product Tour" with descriptions, videos... No programming knowledge is required.
• Add clickable and labeled hotspots to 360° / 3D animations. Requires some practice.

• Shopware Ver. 5.1.0 or later. testet with Shopware Ver. 5.3

Troubleshooting

AJAX-ZOOM has not been downloaded instantly

Please see installation steps above. Proceed with manual installation.

Replace images and AJAX-ZOOM cache

If Shopware is managed over external tools (not over Backend) and item images are replaced keeping the same file name, then AJAX-ZOOM does not get notice of it and AJAX-ZOOM cache is not cleared for this image. With the Ver. 1.2.3+ we have implemented several CLI commands to clear AJAX-ZOOM cache for all images of an item or specific (named) image files. Please configure your external tools accordingly (call CLI command over API) when image file is replaced or item is deleted. For more information in CLI please see http://en.community.shopware.com/_detail_1653.html

As a temporal Solution you could add following config parameters to /engine/Shopware/Plugins/Community/Frontend/AjaxZoom/zoomConfigCustomAZ.inc.php

$zoom['config']['cTimeCompare'] = 'filectime'; 
$zoom['config']['dynamicThumbsCtime'] = 'filectime';
	

DB collate

2016-07-07 - before Plugin version 1.1.3 tables were created without COLLATE. If you want to change it after plugin is installed, you can execute the following directly in the DB:

alter table ajaxzoom360 convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; 
alter table ajaxzoom360set convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; 
alter table ajaxzoomproducts convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; 
alter table ajaxzoomproductsimages convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; 
alter table ajaxzoomlicenses convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci; 
alter table ajaxzoomtokens convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;
