Non-Product Photo Gallery

[James Murray]

Hi folks,

we recently held the first comic/Sci-fi convention in Plymouth and I want to set-up a gallery of images taken on the day. These are non-product, non-selling images and are just so people who attended can come to the website and look at images from the day.

Ideally I would like a page of thumbnails which expand on click/roll-over. I have installed the Zen Cart Lightbox plug-in but any advice about how I go about creating a gallery page will be greatly received.

Thanks in advance.

Methinks that an EZ Page would be the place to start. Beyond that, I'm clueless.

BTW, congratulations on a successful show.

Here's where the various Zen Cart product types comes in handy.. You could use the document_product product type. I would create a category for this gallery and make the document_product the default product type for this category, then create a document product in this category with additional images. This would work with your lightbox install.. I believe there is a document category sidebox you can use to display the document categories.

Thanks for the replies, folks.

I ended up use the Lightbox rel tag on an EZPage and it works well, with just short of 100 thumbs which expand.

Thanks again.

Hey James. Would you mind explaining a little better how you used lightbox on your EZPage? I have colorbox installed and would like to create a gallery as you have.
