Enlarge image in mouseover

[konpatsogiannis]

Hello.
I have made the following change:

When I click a product image in category, it links you in product details.

Is there any way to have an enlarged image when I mouseover?

Ok you can use any Jquery plugin/or code (sorry not an expert in Jquery), but mainly you have two options
1- use jquery code in your category view file
2- download any code module and put this code in it, then publish it on your category pages

Both will work very well, i have done a lot of times, normall i get the code from the internet, making any needed changes in view files, and the Job is done.

Current versions are coded so that the image links direct to the product details. That is by popular request of users and to make it simpler for the shopper to get to the product details page. You can change the function using template overrides and using Joomla's modal of VM's fancybox.

Thank you for answering.
