In a previous VM2.0.6 project, on the product listing page, clicking on the product image by default opened a lightbox / fancybox version. I am now using the latest version of VM 2.0.26d on a new project and can no longer do this - it eaither just links to the product detail page or opnes the large image in a new window. Has anyone worked out the code changes required to add the fancybox effect so I can insert the new file as VM category overriide?
Thanks a lot
Colin
Compare the differenes in the category view between the old and current vm version. Create a template override and add the variant with fancybox to the image. You can download all vm versions here: http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files
Thanks for the reply - i did swap the category default.php file from the old working version into my override folder but it made no difference, so I guess I'm missing something - possibly other files which need to be rolled back. Unfortunately I'm by no means a php expert but thought there would be a good chance that someone has come up against this problem and knows the answer. Certainly other threads have touched on it but at this point I can't find or work out a definitive answer,
my bad - subject should probably have read 'Click on PRODUCT list image to open fancybox image' - although the page is a VM Category menu type.
try to replace
<a title="<?php echo $product->product_name ?>" rel="vm-additional-images" href="<?php echo $product->link; ?>">
<?php
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="browseProductImage"', true);
?>
</a>
with
<?php /** @todo make image popup */
echo $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ('class="browseProductImage" border="0" title="' . $product->product_name . '" ', TRUE, 'class="modal"');
?>
awesome kkmediaproduction - this works !
Many thanks
Hello
