Photo gallery for products

dan182skater · December 25, 2004

Hello evereyone, you see how in newegg.com they have a photo gallery for their products, basically a page that opens up with more photos of their product?, well is there an already made contribution to do somehting similar to that? I searched but couldn't find anything. Basicaly all I found was adding more than one image directly on the product info page, but I need a seperate page for more pictures of each product.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hey Dan,

I don't know if this will help you or not, I was looking for the same thing and ran acroos coppermine contribution. It is a photogallery contrib. I have it set so that all of my works so in the gallery.

You can check it out at

MutzigCreations.com

I know this won't give you the option of linking to a new page with more product pictures, but it is one way to show off your items.

mopics allows 7 small and 7 large images, ultrapics, additional images. coppermine requires some settings which some hosts may not have installed, in order to get it to work.

i looked at a few of your products, clicked on 'click to enlarge' yet it is the same image and size as the original product.

i didnt go to very many.

Hello, thank you for your replies. I already tried the 7 large and small images contribution (Ultrapics I think) but that is not what I'm looking for. What I need is somehting like the popup page of a product image so that it shows in a popup the image with a title syaing somehtiing like image 1 of 5 and with a next and previous button to go to the different images of that same product in that same pop-up window. Any other contributions you know about that might do this? Or any idea how I can start to make my own? I'm not really a noob, I understand a lot of php, so let me know. THANKS!

Mibble,

Not sure I understand your statement?

I was however talking about the photogallery area as an example of coppermine.

In product info pages:

I have small images for product page, and larger images for popup.

sizes are 100x100-small 400x400-popup. Did that not work for you? what browser are you using? (I test with IE, Maxthon, and firefox). If you noticed anything please let me know as I am always looking to improve.

I do have Ultrapics (and use the extra 6 images on some products, but not often. I do however use the small, and popup images as I was never able to get auto-thumbnailers to work).

In the photo gallery coppermine does autothumb nailing of the pictures (which are in some cases the same as product pictures in the catalog). These are sized at 400x400 and autothumbed to 100x100 I believe.

Thanks for the info Miblle, I look forward to your input.

Ideas for what you are looking for, maybe (this is right off the top of my head, and I am by no means a programmer) copy to popup.php file, rename it to something else, add a link in product info to the new page, and then redesign the new page to get your extra pictures. You would also have to add to the db an area/table or column for the extra pictures and then add in to admin area catalog for products an area to enter in the new pictures to show on the popup page.

How you would do that, ummmmm I have no idea..I could muddle thru it and maybe (ya right) get it to work.

It is much the same as ultra pics, but instead of on the product info page it would go a new popup page.

i looked at a few of your products, clicked on 'click to enlarge' yet it is the same image and size as the original product.

I may have found just the thing for you!!!!!

Check out:

SlideShow

Here is the write up of it:

WHAT SLIDESHOW DOES :

1.It grabs product images from their respective directories ( like default OSC structure ) and displays them

in product_info.php one at the time where the product image is usually displayed in OSC;

2.Currently displayed image has included "Back" & "Next" links ( also graphic ) to change current picture

& go to next image if you click it;

3.Optionally can display images in new PopUp window;

4.Optionally can autoslide images to a given delayed time;

5.Optionally can display a caption of current image ( if exists);

6.Customisable HTML layout of image window ( bgcolor, fonts, etc...);

WHAT IT DOESN'T :

1. As far as I know, it doesn't resize images so all of your images must have the same widht and height

or the image window keeps changing following each image dimensions ( but this should be easy to fix

for a PHP expert===> this is FAAAAAAAAAR beyond my php skills...)

==============================

This way you can have your pictures on the product info page (or a popup) and as many as you want.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much, I am trying to install that slideshow contribution but am having a very hard time because of sts. With sts there are 3 files directing to the product info page. There is the normal product info.php, the sts_product_info.php, and the sts_product_info.php.html (that is the one where you design the page and put in variables such as $addcartbutton) Any ideas where how I can even start to add this contribution with sts?

THANKS!

-Daniel

P.S. If you can help me with AIM or msn, that would be great. My AIM is dan182skater and my MSN is [email protected]. I know that it is better to post in the forums because other people can see the answer also, but I really am confusd here with this contribution. THANKS!

Hey Daniel,

I don't have sts (as I went the "old fashioned way" in changing my sites look (I wanted it as easy as possible to add stuff. However once you do a backup of your site I would start by seeing what the differences are between:

1. your normal product info.php and the sts_product_info.php

2. your normal product info.php and the changes to be made in slideshow.

look for any coralations between them (ie. a change that is made in the normal that can/should be made in sts)

and go from there. Sorry not having installed sts I really don't know anything about it. You might as in the contrib support forum- sts topic to see if anyone has already done it or would better know how too.

Before I even start to try to use this slideshow contribution, is there a working example of it on a site somewhere so I can make sure it is what I want?

Thanks,

Daniel

December 30, 2004

Hmm sorry Daniel,

I don't use this contrib on my site, and haven't run across it on any sites that I know of. Unless someone else knows, I don't know what to do to help.

:(

This is not what I need, thank you though! Are there any other contributions maybe?.....I guess I 'll just use the contribution to put all the images on the product page. I see several of them, which do you think would be the best?

Thanks,

Daniel

here's my gallery so far......

http://www.tsurishopjapan.com/customer_gallery.php

I took out the ride side to make more room and so far I really like it. It only took me 5-10 minutes to install and about an other 10 minutes to get the right size and all.

ENJOY,

Hi Nigel

I too have downloaded this, as I wanted a gallery of my cards. Great & not too difficult to adjust to my requirements. How did you get it installed onto your site though, please as I am a little worried about that bit! :blush: Do I need to add some link to my gallery page & will the album be uploaded to the images folder?

If this is side tracking from the original persons thread please say so & I will start a new one. May be this is what they wanted too?

Thanks for sharing this with us. :thumbsup:

In a nut shell here's what I did......

1. Installed the software

2. Added a folder of my photos to the program

3. Found a template that I liked

4. Hit publish and that did a FTP upload to my sever

5. In my sever I found the the file index.html of the programs gallery and copied the link to it

6. Found the file catalog/includes/languages/english/myfiletoadd a gallery file and added this code

Please use a browser that supports iframes

</iframe>

I changed the width so it would blend properly into my site and the results are simple and easy. If I can do this anyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeee can.

Does this help?

Nigelman :lol:
