hello,

I would like to add a slide show/shadowbox (preferably phocagallery) to my product page, could somebody (nicolas) tell me if this is possible. I have phocagallery working fine in a test page article but in a HikaShop product page it just shows the Phoca code.

thanks
David

Hi,
The phocagallery code plugin only works inside joomla articles. That's a limitation of the plugin.

What you could do is use the plugin articlesAnywhere: extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-di.../content-embed/10799
You could create a normal joomla article, add your phocagallery code in it and then add the articlesAnywhere code in the description of your products and that should display your phoca slide shows/shadowbox in the description of your products.

Well I tried this suggestion today. It does not do what I expect.
It shows a link to the article that needs to be clicked, opens a new page, then the gallery shows. I need the gallery displayed directly in the productdescription. I don't want to send my clients away from a product and then getting them back to return to the product. Too many clicks to generate sales.

If loading Phocagallery slideshows is not an option nor on the agenda for developement....then what suggestions are there to have product slideshows in the productdescriptions?

After some searching and exploring I found out that Sigplus does what needs to be done.
It works even faster then Phocagallery. Slideshow/gallery looks good. Just a small line of code directly in the productdescription.

I thought it is good enough to share it here so others can benefit.
