Extra Images In Product Information

[timmle]

I have seen contributions to add multiple images for each product but i would like to do something slightly different which i have done for a lot of my websites which weren't oscommerce based.

 

I would like to have one big image like on the product information page, but then 3-4 little images alongside it which show the product at different angles so that when the customer rolls over the little images they appear in a larger size in the large picture area. I know how to achieve this in html when building a site using Dreamweaver etc, but i'm stuck with php and oscommerce and was wondering if this is possible.

 

Can this be achieved?

Hi there Timmle

 

Cannot answer your question and it sounds like you know already how to get a bigger picture when you click on 'Click to Enlarge'. Could you tell me how to do that ?

 

Thanks

Hmm, well i haven't individually looked at that aspect but i imagine once you have created a bigger picture using photoshop or whatever software you are using, once you click to enlarge it will fix that picture size. If not it will be in the images section of the admin panel i'm sure.

Didn't want to create a new topic, so thought i would add a post to this, to see if anyone searching the forum today can assist me.

 

 

Basically just looking for something, or some kind of help that will not only add multiple images for a product, as i have seen contributions for this, but so that three small images sitting next to a large boxes that when you rollover the small images they show up in the large box.

 

 

Is there anyway to do this atall?

 

Any help appreciated.

Hey Guys,

 

I'm fairly new to osCommerce. So this may be a silly question. Can you please let me know how you posted multiple images for a single product? what are the steps?

 

Much appreciated.

Well to do something like this you need a contribution, which basically the very kind people who modify their oscommerce stores post a step by step guide of code to add to certain files into your store so that it makes this possible.

 

If you go to the Contributions section, (Community - Contributions) and then search for Product Extra Images there are a few submissions there.

 

Then all you have to do is select you one you want, download the latest whole version of that contribution using the little icon on the right hand side and it will download a zip file with a few files in there for you to follow.

 

A extra product contribution will usually add a function to the administration panel to your store which lets you upload more pictures for each product. Of course each contribtuion is different, and are for slightly different things so you have to find the one that works best for your needs.

 

 

Good Luck.
