Additional image box label

[Mickmo68]

I would like to add some text above the additional product image box to label it just that. "More Photos" "Other Views", something like that to indicate that these images are related to the product above.

See screen shot to see what I mean.

How would I do this?
Thank you

You will need to modify your tpl_modules_additional_images.php file in the following path:
\includes\templates\YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY\templates\tpl_modules_additio nal_images.php where YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY is the name of your custom template.
You should first make a backup of this file before making any changes.
Highlighted in green is the code you want to insert:

<div id="productAdditionalImages">
<h3 class="photo_caption">More Photos</h3>
<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_columnar_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_columnar_display.php'); ?>
</div>

Then you will need to add the following to your stylesheet:

.photo_caption {
margin: 0;
color: #000;
font-size: 1.5em;
text-align: left;
}

This is just a sample, you can use whatever styling you need.

Thank you so much jwitt98

I would like to take this a step further and have the box caption read:
"More photos of PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION" for SEO purposes as this is a header.
Any help with the code would be appreciated.

You could use this for the heading:

<h3 class="photo_caption">More Photos of <?php echo $products_name; ?></h3>

And I'd like to take this even one step further, I'd like to have each additional image have a label. Underneath each additional image appears - "larger image" in place of that or in addition to that I would like to have a label or description of the image. I installed the
Fual Slimbox (Libhtbox) addon and it is great in many ways, one of the ways is that when you click on the main image or any additional image to see a larger image, you can then click on NEXT or PREV to look at all the images. I need to have the additional image label or description appear in the lightbox. Currently, the product name appears for every image.

Has anyone done something like this? I've searched the forum, this thread is the clssest I can find to what I need to do. Thanks for this information already here and for any help or direction you can point me to!

I guess you didn't search on Additional Image Titles.

THANKS! No, I didn't think to search on titles! As soon as I saw your response I thought I should have, though.... I'm about to download this and try it... I will post the results here, just wanted to say Thank you right away.... Helen

Hello again, I've downloaded the Additional Image Title addon and looked at the read me instructions and.... don't understand how and where I am to add the title? For each additional image.... and there will be several for many products, I want a title... I've read this several times:

This checks to see if there is a constant defined for the image and, if so, displays its value either above or below the image; if not, displays just the image as usual.

Define a constant corresponding to each image, changing /, \, . and - characters to _ characters so the constant name will be acceptable to PHP.

Do i modify additional_images.php? For each additional image??
Does anyone have any experience or examples they can provide?
Thanks...
