This MOD was created to provide Multiple Product Images.
In standard Candypress, there is only provision to provide 1 larger images and the thumbnail.
This mod provides and unlimited number of images PLUS the ability to show an EXTRA Large image as well in a seperate layer.
FEATURES & Requirements:
- Unlimited images per product
(I know you will think about how many you really need)
- Configurable # of Thumbnails (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... wide)
- Thumbnail size NOT restricted
- Thumbnail identified by the th_ prefix
- Thumbnails must be created and uploaded
(This version of CP has a good upload facility already (All the different hosting solutions prevent me from creating them automatically)
- Products Large image is the starting default
- Files stored in the /ProdImages/ directory
- Images swapped without page refresh
- Add & Delete functions in Product Admin
- Thumbnails easily sorted to whatever order you require in Product Admin
- Seperate Access DB to store links to multiple images
- Currently Access DB Only will still work with MSSQL using the seperate Access DB
- Easy Installation, minimal MANUAL coding required on your part
-
All changed files are Automatically Backed Up
-
System Variable to define Swap Event
OnClick or OnMouseOVer
- Extra Large Image has been added So now we have the Main image, Thumbnail and Extra Large Image
- Extra Large Image now uses a new Layer feature to prevent blocking by Popup Blockers
- All code had been optimised
-
All Manual instructions can now be printed direct from our Patcher Program
-
New Slideshow function on the XL Popup
-
New XL Popup on NON Multiple images
Upgrade is FREE to existing MOD Owners and requires minimal changes to your existing pages.
Note: This is a personal thing, not a requirement.
When setting up images to display, I always make sure the images and thumbnails are the same size ...
As an example of what I mean, on the demo site all thumbnails are 100x100px and the large images are 450x450px.
What this achieves is a nice flow on the page when people are swaping images around. Just a thought for when you are setting up Multiple Images.
