Re: Image zoom

Hello,
Is there a way to add a component like (LV Image Zoomer or similar)so when you hover the product images you get a close up of he area in a popup screen?

See the effect here:http://www.zazzle.com/monogram_embroidered_football_shirt_embroidered_shirt-231671777815707485
Thanks
Neil

Is there another way of doing this in Joomla 1.6 as Modules Anywhere isn't compatible yet.

Thanks

Hi there

I've tried to make Magic Zoom work with my products with no luck.

Just wondered if you could give me a little more direction?

Thanks

Matt

Thank you Neila. I will work to those instructions!

Hi again

I have MagicZoom working but it only zooms the first picture. When you load any of the other pics it just zooms onto the original. Can you help please? If not no probs!

Thanks

So how can I change the href attribute?

Thanks

Matt

Hi ya

This is the section I changed:-

}else{
$this->uploadFolder_url_zoom=$this->uploadFolder_url.'zoom/'.$path;
JHTML::_('behavior.modal');
$html = '<a class="MagicZoom" rel="zoom-width:390px; zoom-height:444px" href="'.$this->uploadFolder_url_zoom.'">'.$html.'</a>';
}

Nicolas,

Thank you for all of your help with this one! Your advice in this thread has gotten me way further than I expected! Can I ask you for more details on how to integate Magic Zoom with the product images? Right now, the first image zooms but the other images don't swap on hover now. I know it's because I need to change something else too (like the function as you said earlier) but I'm not sure what that would be or how to change it (code and programming are not my strong points).

So far, I've added class="MagicZoom" to line 293 in the administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/image.php file. An example of my situation can be found here: seananthonydesigns.com/clothing-categori.../product/33-the-joey

Any advice you (or anyone else) can offer would be absolutely wonderful and I'd be so grateful! Thank you so much, in advance!

Hi Guys,

Okay this is all a bit confusing... I'd like to have the magiczoom function working on my product image. At the moment I only have one image per product. I'd like the zoom to work in the product view. So where do I even begin? I've installed the module/ extension and now I'd like to know which files I need to edit and where to find them - if you can help?

Thank you
Brett

@pndachick Hiya,

Wow, I've taken a look at the way you've done the zoom thing. Please... please help me - I'd pretty much like to do exactly the same thing but for a shoe site. Which files did you edit?

Oh my diddly.... that was easier than I thought! Sorry about that guys...

So yes I edited same file as pndachick... but for some reason my edit was line: 152

Looked like this:
$html = '<a title="'.$alt.'" rel="{handler: \'image\'}" target="_blank" class="MagicZoom" href="'.$this->uploadFolder_url.$path.'" onclick="SqueezeBox.fromElement(this,{parse: \'rel\'});return false;" '.$optionslink.'>'.$html.'</a>';

Is there a plan of adding image Zooming to hikashop in the near future? I tried magic zoom with no success... I wanted the images of my products to be able to be zoomed in.
