Looks like you are using a template override written for an older version of VirtueMart. Current versions use fancybox to allow image navigation, but I suspect your override is using the old facebox. You will need to update that template - probably [yourjoomlatemplae]/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default_images.php  - compare that with the VM default template in components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default_images.php

After comparing them whats the next step? Joomla 2.5.11, Virtuemart 2.0.10, PHP 5.2.17.

After comparing the next step is to update your template to 2.0.12, then to 2.0.14, and then 2.0.16.

i dont follow

Simple. It looks like the overrides you are using are built for an earlier version of VirtueMart. Whyich version we cannot tell - which is one of the reasons why we cannot support third party templates/overrides.

Try renaming the file [yourjoomlatemplae]/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/default_images.php  eg default_images.php.was
This will force VM to use the default image template for 2.0.20b and may solve your problem. If not then you will have to look closer at the code.

Good.

You are having Virtuemart 2.0.0 version for your template virtuemart overrides.

So you still need to check and to update your overrides in your web site template folder.

There were overall 5 changes of template files:
com_virtuemart.2.0.8_layout_changes
com_virtuemart.2.0.10_layout_changes
com_virtuemart.2.0.12_layout_changes
com_virtuemart.2.0.14_layout_changes
com_virtuemart.2.0.14_to_2.0.16_layout_changes

So advice from Jenkinhill is still stands for you

ok so the renaming of the file worked it was default_images.php it was just default.php and what i noticed that a a share product plugin i had on the page stopped working

Template overrides is main base for customizing VM.
They wouldn't be overridden by regular VM updates.
Actually it's not simply don't know about overrides - everybody here very often use them.
Check sticked threads for example or FAQ section.
Without up to date overrides web shop is not up to date.
