    Default Multiple views of the product?

    Anyone know how to allow 'multiple' views of the product?

    Either by clicking on thumbnails next to the medium sized image on the product detail page to open large versions, or by mousing over thumbnails?

    thanks,
    Mark

    or even just some text links like 'front view,' 'back view,' etc.

    There's a naming convention for that. Something like: product.jpg for the main image, then product_1.jpg, product_2.jpg, product_3.jpg, and so on for the others. That is, use a basename for the main image, then use that basename plus some additional identifier (numbers are just the easiest) to make ZC recognize the additional images.

    Then install Zen Lightbox or similar to provide a better viewing experience for the images. You can use gallery mode in ZL, for example.

    Look in Free Software Add Ons, link top-left on any forum page. It's a good thing. You can see it in action, though not with additional images, on my retail site (link in my sig below.)

    What you are after is the additional images functionality, the explanation is available in the tutorials

    Have a look here at SWMBO's site

    The additional images are appearing under the add to cart button, this is the default.

    now for the lightbox

    click on the large product image and the larger image should appear, then on the larger image as you move the cursor to the right a tab for nextt should appear.

    There are quite a few ways to feature additional images. Here's another example...
