Click on Image to Enlarge Text Under Thumnail

I would like to add a line of text below the thumbnails on the product page; Click To Enlarge. Where can this be achieved please?

Thanks

Hello,

You can do it by editing your "show_default" file of the "product" view of your front-end template that your are currenctly using through "Hikashop->Display->Views".
Hope this will help you.

Hi, I'd like to create captions for product images for a t-shirt website, specifying the name of the model with a link to their site or profile. How can I achieve this? Thanks

Ideally, I want it overlaid on the image itself, both on the main product page and in the lightbox popup.

Hi there,

Could you precise if you a watermarking or an overlaid? It's two different things and it depend of what you're looking to achieve.
By the way, where did you specified the datas? I mean the link to the site/profile?
In every case it will require some coding notions

Hey! Here's a link to a relevant page: whatsupclothing.com/newstore/product/45-.../category_pathway-15

As you will see, I have a custom field for the Model name, but it isn't what I'm looking for in this case so i will remove it.

I also have a tab with the details of the models and the link to their profile page: this is all the info I need, but I wish to have it placed over the image as an overlaid div.

I believe I need to simply use z-index and create a div, within which I can put the Name of Model as a link pointing to their modelling profile page. Once I have the basic html set up I may play around with the styles etc, but that's all I need to begin with.

I figure I need a custom field to provide the info to make the div. This is where I'm getting lost. I imagine I need something similar to this code, but calling the Name of Model value that I will input via custom field instead of the second '$this->element->product_url':

<span id="hikashop_product_url_main" class="hikashop_product_url_main">
<?php
if (!empty ($this->element->product_url)) {
echo JText :: sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL', '<a href="' . $this->element->product_url . '" target="_blank">' . $this->element->product_url . '</a>');
}
?>
</span>

I did try to adapt this code to make it work for me but I'm not good enough with php to know what to replace this '$this->element->product_url' in the second part so that it renders the Title (Name of Model) rather than the url itself. I guess this is where the custom field comes into play, but how do I link them together in the code?

Another thing - on the page I linked you to, the main image popup has 9 images, despite the product having only 2. I deleted images I had added and readded them... Now that I write this I think I must need to delete the thumbnails, I'll try that and get back if it doesn't work. thanks

Hi, can you tell me where the custom fields entries are stored in the database? The table hikashop_entry does not contain any data... and I can't find any other table with any data that looks relevant. I am attempting to change the value of one custom field, and it refuses to change on ther front end although it changes on the backend ( whatsupclothing.com/newstore/product/45-.../category_pathway-15 ). Any ideas? Thanks

PS I have removed the 2 lines of code as specified above, but I still have 3 images instead of 2. I guess it counts the main image then both thumbnails too? Either way, I would prefer not to have this problem. Thx

Hi,

The custom fields are created on the product table if the custom field is for the products, etc.
So you have to edit the table "#__hikashop_product".

For the images, have you set an image for a vairant ?
You can maybe try to edit the object "$this->element->images" in the view "product / show" to remove the first element.

Thanks.... this is really strange. I have changed the value in 3 different products and the only problem is with the 1st one I tried to change. In the database and in the backend it shows the correct value, but in the frontend it shows the incorrect old value. I have emptied the cache, and even unpublished the custom fields and republished them. I can't think what else could be causing this behaviour. Please help, it's really annoying!

Secondly, the product variants don't have images set. I can try with that but I don't see what difference it would make. I just have 2 images per product, both set to the main product so that's what needs to be fixed... it obviously counts the main image separately from the 2 thumbnails below.

Thanks. I have caching disabled, and the same code is being used across all products... When I changed the value of the custom fields of any other product, it immediately changes on the frontend. It's just one product that refuses to do so.

I'm going to try and figure it out today. However, can I give you my backend login details, so that if one of you has some time you could maybe have a look?? Thanks in advance....!

EDIT - I ended up just deleting the product and creating it again. Not ideal... but the problem does not seem to be re-occurring. Glitch in the matrix, I guess.....
