Re: Image Magnifier

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but there is Image Handler 2 - available from the Free Software Add Ons page. There is also HoverBox 3...you'd have to google for it.

You could see it in action on my site (still implementing the site) www.besttacgear.com

Re: Image Magnifier

There is an easily installable version here - http://www.magictoolbox.com/magiczoom/. They also have Zen Cart add-on options.

Re: Image Magnifier

It would be even better if was any sooner :-)

...seriously I have the demo version which works really cool as you don't have to click this and then click that . The only thing is images are distorted in the main box. It would be nice if they were "fit to space" or "reduced to fit" , is there a way of controlling the demo version to over come this problem?

This is really great stuff.

Re: Image Magnifier

Have fun playing with this, and this is by no mean a final product, use as your own risk. No documentation yet. Not compatible with lightbox, slimbox etc... Do not use along side with those.
Not tested with IH2

I have installed the magic zoom. The only thing I am missing is the ability to zoom large/close enough . Previously my Ajax zoom magnify was enlarging nice and big before now this thing only zoom a little. Further more , the main image area, all the images gets distorted as they all do not fit proportionally. Having previously image handler2 (used for uploading images only) also gets disabled (automatically without warning) when you install Magic zoom. And some of the images I can not get it to set to default positions as they seem to disappear.

Ideally what I like to see is a zoom like this, meaning magic Zoom or like the one zipped here then when you are magnifying the area of the main image if you click on it it would run my old Ajax zoom until I close. That would be the winner. That would really cool :-)

Love to see your and your thoughts.

Cheers

Installed..works fine until added 2 additional images..
then an extra rogue additional image is added..extra
to the 2 correct ones...shows as red cross with
incorrect code marked red below...
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<a href="images/.jpg" class="jqzoomAdditional"><img src="images/.jpg" alt="Advent 138" title=" Advent 138 " width="100" height="80" /></a>')
//--></script>

2 genuine additional images show/work correctly, as does
large/medium/small...

Re: Image Magnifier

Yes it does, but if you add one additional image, an extra image also appears BUT as red cross...code incorrect( as per my post earlier), just for that one extra image.
Add 2 additional images, and 3 appear...2 correct and one red
cross, with code that does not match the other 2.....

Re: Image Magnifier

The extra one is the main kmage itself. No idea why it doesn't work for you. I will take a look when I have time.

Re: Image Magnifier

Considering my experience [zero] in php let alone javascript, it's amazing what can be achieved and leared frum frustrations and knowledge gained from zencart forums.

I DID IT all by my self ..yippeeeee
