[MOD] Image Manager with auto-expand

Hey,
i was wondering if there was a way that when you open the image manager, all the folders are automatically expanded? It would also be helpful if it could save the last location of where you selected/uploaded an image from/to. But the auto-expand is the more important feature. I can't seem to figure it out... It would help to speed things up when adding new listings.
Thanks for any help

Anyone have any idea's? I see that jstree comes with the cookie plugin, however I can't seem to get it to work by following the instructions. Far from good instructions lol And I don't have a lot of experience with javascript or jquery.
Thank you for any assistance

Well, I'm still stuck on this problem...
I tried to upgrade to the latest version, 1.0.0 rc, however now it doesn't seem to work with OpenCart, so I'm back to square one.
It can't be that hard to get the jstree cookies to work...However I can't seem to find anywhere on Google on how to do it...
This is something that should be turned on default one would think...
Anyways, has anyone had any success with cookies and jstree?
Thanks

Here's something I tried which had worked to some extent:
Im using OC 1.4.9.2 which uses jstree version 0.9.9a
jstree ver 1.0rc2 code will not work
Opened in editor:
admin\view\template\common\filemanager.tpl
Added before the closing head tag:
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="view/javascript/jquery/jstree/lib/jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="view/javascript/jquery/jstree/plugins/jquery.tree.cookie.js"></script>
Added:
after:
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#column_left').tree({
Saved the document.
Tested in FF 3.6 and Chrome 8.0.552 and Opera 11. Works.
The only problem is that it does not open the tree beyond the first node i.e.
Code: Select all
<images>
<category A>
<category B>
.......
Hope someone will help further refine the fix.
Hope this helps.

OK. Here goes the fully working (fingers crossed) automatically expanding image manager folder tree to save those precious clicks and have lots of fun using OC.
Here's how:
Im using OC 1.4.9.2 which uses jstree version 0.9.9a
jstree ver 1.0rc2 code will not work
Opened in editor:
admin\view\template\common\filemanager.tpl
Added before the closing head tag:
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="view/javascript/jquery/jstree/lib/jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="view/javascript/jquery/jstree/plugins/jquery.tree.cookie.js"></script>
Added:
After:
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#column_left').tree({
Added:
Code: Select all
var tree = $.tree.focused();
tree.refresh(tree.selected);
After:
Code: Select all
html += '<a file="' + json[i]['file'] + '"><img src="' + json[i]['thumb'] + '" title="' + json[i]['filename'] + '" /><br />' + name + '</a>';
}
}
html += '</div>';
$('#column_right').html(html);
Added:
Code: Select all
onload: function(TREE_OBJ) {
var myTree= $.tree.focused();
myTree.open_all('#top');
myTree.refresh(myTree);
}
After:
Code: Select all
$('#column_right').html(html);
var tree = $.tree.focused();
tree.refresh(tree.selected);
}
});
},
Added: (don't forget to copy the comma)
After:
Code: Select all
onload: function(TREE_OBJ) {
var myTree= $.tree.focused();
myTree.open_all('#top');
myTree.refresh(myTree);
}
}
Save the document.
Tested in FF 3.6 and Chrome 8.0.552 and Opera 11. Works like a charm.
If you have difficulty entering the code, please download the zip attachment containing the filemanager.tpl file which needs to be copied to admin\view\template\common\ folder inside your OpenCart Installation. Rename your old filemanager.tpl file to filemanager.tpl.OLD incase you want to revert to your previous file.
Hope this helps.

kaylohn, do you think this fix will work in 1.4.8b? I never upgraded to 1.4.9 because of all the customizations I have.

@purebeads, haven't tried it in 1.4.8b, you can try it out and see if it works by making a backup of your original filemanager.tpl and copying the modified filemanager.tpl (see above). If it fails you can easily revert to your original. No harm done. Hope this helps.

Yes, I figured that out. I guess I didn't need to bother you.
It works. Curiously, the subdirectories expand, and then they collapse when the images in the main directory appear, and then they expand again. Even so, it is saving me a click. That extra click is such a nuisance because you have to get your mouse cursor on that very little [+] sign.
To make the file manager load quicker, I am transferring about 2000 images into subdirectories.
By the way, thanks for doing this fix for us.

Hi!
@lojayatta
I fresh installed OpenCart 1.5.1.1 and used your filemanager.tpl but found no errors.
Then I tried the same on a fresh OpenCart 1.5.1.2 install.....still found no errors....
it worked on both versions.

I have implemented your fix, and it does auto-expand the image folders. But it doesn't remember the folder I just had selected. Did this work for you? Is there any way to make it keep me at the active folder each time I add an image until I change it?
v1.4.9.6

Hi Everyone!
After a lot of work and figuring out, I present to the OC community, the properly '
behaving' Image Manager for OC.(this need be packaged in every OC release IMHO)
- Remembers the last opened tree and selected folder.
Tested: OC 1.5.1.3
Browsers: FF 7.0, Chrome 12, Opera 11.51
File attached (ZIPPED) : Extract filemanager.tpl from ZIP and copy to your OC installation admin\view\template\common\ folder. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL in case you want to revert, which I highly doubt
Code below (modified only/partial): for full code view please download and view the source of the filemanager.tpl file.
Code: Select all
...
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#column_left').tree({
plugins : {
cookie : {}
},
data: {
type: 'json',
async: true,
opts: {
method: 'POST',
url: 'index.php?route=common/filemanager/directory&token=<?php echo $token; ?>'
}
},
selected: 'top',
ui: {
theme_name: 'classic',
animation: 400
},
types: {
'default': {
clickable: true,
creatable: false,
renameable: false,
deletable: false,
draggable: false,
max_children: -1,
max_depth: -1,
valid_children: 'all'
}
},
callback: {
beforedata: function(NODE, TREE_OBJ) {
if (NODE == false) {
TREE_OBJ.settings.data.opts.static = [
{
data: 'image',
attributes: {
'id': 'top',
'directory': ''
},
state: 'closed'
}
];
return { 'directory': '' }
} else {
TREE_OBJ.settings.data.opts.static = false;
return { 'directory': $(NODE).attr('directory') }
};
},
onselect: function (NODE, TREE_OBJ) {
$.ajax({
url: 'index.php?route=common/filemanager/files&token=<?php echo $token; ?>',
type: 'POST',
data: 'directory=' + encodeURIComponent($(NODE).attr('directory')),
dataType: 'json',
success: function(json) {
html = '<div>';
if (json) {
for (i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
name = '';
filename = json[i]['filename'];
for (j = 0; j < filename.length; j = j + 15) {
name += filename.substr(j, 15) + '<br />';
}
name += json[i]['size'];
html += '<a file="' + json[i]['file'] + '"><img src="' + json[i]['thumb'] + '" title="' + json[i]['filename'] + '" /><br />' + name + '</a>';
}
}
html += '</div>';
$('#column_right').html(html);
}
});
},
onopen: function(TREE_OBJ) {
var tr = $('#column_left li#top li[directory]');
tr.each(function(index, domEle) {
dd = $(domEle).attr('directory');
dd = dd.replace(/\//g, "");
dd = dd.replace(" ", "");
$(domEle).attr('id', dd);
});
var myTree = $.tree.reference('#column_left');
var cc = $.cookie('selected');
var bb = '#' + cc;
myTree.select_branch(bb);
},
},
});
...
Happy Open Carting!
