VM2 Slideshow on product details page. Free!

[jjk]

i tryed to use the solution in your link, but i don't want the slideshow in a page but only the "next prev" buttons in image popup! i can't resolve this.. you can find a solution whit this script?

Hi Ciriman,  Good idea.  We will create a POPUP Slideshow including thumbnails (additional images) as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.   

In this forum there is a short tutorial for producing an override which loads Fancybox (includes prev/next buttons and a title) instead of Facebox in the frontend, including the code to copy and paste.  See here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=95911.msg322261#msg322261

Works nicely, but in my special (case I need to change the image title, which is generated from the image alt-text (file_meta in the _virtuemart_medias table) to 'Displayed Image Title' (file_description in the _virtuemart_medias table and 'vm-img-desc' in vmsite-ltr.css). Perhaps VirtueArtcz or somebody else has an idea how to achieve that. I've run out of ideas already   

The reason for the above is that I need to display "Product name © manufactuer name" as a title below the image, but at the same time don't want to spoil the more descriptive image alt-text, which is important for SEO.

I really want to use this on my template however the template that I am using has a default.php file in the com_virtuemart folder that clearly contains code to either override the default_images.php folder for this slideshow. Here is the code relating to product images from the default.php file

Try to replace this code:

Code Select Expand

<div class="width40 floatleft">
<?php // Product Main Image
if (!empty($this->product->images[0])) { ?>
<div class="main-image">
<?php echo str_replace('<a', '<a class="modal"', $this->product->images[0]->displayMediaFull('class="product-image"',true,"class='modal'",true)); ?>
</div>
<?php } // Product Main Image END ?>
<?php // Showing The Additional Images
if (!empty($this->product->images) and count ($this->product->images)>1) { ?>
<div class="additional-images">
<?php // List all Images
foreach ($this->product->images as $image) {
echo '<div class="product-thumb">' . $image->displayMediaThumb('class="product-image"',true,'class="modal"',true,true) . '</div>'; //'class="modal"'
} ?>
</div>
<?php } // Showing The Additional Images END ?>


With this:

Code Select Expand

<div class="width40 floatleft">
<?php
echo $this->loadTemplate('images');
?></div>

Thanks for posting that VirtueArtcz it was much appreciated. Unfortunately it's not quite working it should probably because of the template I'm using as you can see here:

I have no idea how to fix it so will probably have to admit defeat!

Anyway, nice Slideshow.
