What is Highslide JS?

Highslide JS, formerly Vevstein Thumbnail Expander, is a piece of JavaScript that streamlines the use of thumbnail images on web pages. The library offers these features and advantages:

* No plugins like Flash or Java required.
* Popup blockers are no problem. The images expand within the active browser window.
* Single click. After expanding the image, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without restoring the image.
* The approach uses two separate images. No heavy full-size image packed into thumbnail display size! The full-size image is loaded in the background either on page load or when the user clicks the thumb. You specify this option in the script's settings.
* Compatibility and safe fallback. If the user has disabled JavaScript or the JavaScript fails in any way, the browser redirects directly to the image itself. This fallback is able to cope with most exceptions and incompatibilities.


Compatibility - tested with:

IE 7 Beta Works
IE 6 Works
IE 5.5 Works
IE 5.0 Works
IE 4.0 Falls back nicely
Firefox 1.5 Works
Opera 8.5 Works
Netscape 7.2 Works
Netscape 4.79 Falls back nicely
Safari 2.0 on Mac Works
Konqueror 3.5 Works

not for a non commercial usage

I got this working after a bit of hacking. You can see it in action here: http://www.selfedge.com/shop

For what it's worth, $30 is a very small price to pay for such a terrific functionality. For most stores this can be recouped after just one online sale.

Sorry for the lack of a how-to here.
some files to look into are:

tpl_modules_main_product_image.php
and
additional_images.php

You'll also have to add the necessary Javascript to the header in addition to required styles in your CSS file

Yes, which is why Numinix paid for the distribution package and is able to offer a Zen Cart compatible version for a lot less.
