Simple Multiple Images (Unlimited) with PrettyPhoto Popups

[michael_s]

Initial Version 0.9

There are many multi image contributions, but I found many have become much too bloated or just didn't fit, so I created this, allowing as many extra product pictures as you want with
admin control and fancy lightbox like popups.

This is a different varient of my Simple Multi Image Add-on, the only difference to the previous is this uses PrettyPhoto for the popups in place of the Fancybox ones, which offers a different style & some options not available with Fancybox, but then missing some that Fancybox had, I leave it up to you to descide which you prefer.

This initial release is in a fairly rough form, fine tuning will come later

Features:

Its a simple strait forward design, only three files to edit

An un-limited number of additional images can be added to any product without modification.

Any product can have as many (or few) images as wanted.

Additional images can be deleted if needed.

PrettyPhoto is used for the image popups, so all product images can be browsed within a single popup.

Additional image layout can be modified in admin, selecting a horizontal or vertical layout and the number or images to show per row

Additional image size is also set in admin.

I recommend this is used with OscThumb for auto thumbnailing & faster load times.

As a bonus addition, a function is added in the product edit page to give a instant update option.

Images can be placed in subfolders of the images folder at product edit.

Hi Michael

From the department of dumb questions....

Where do I get hold of this contribution. My client would like multiple images per product. This sounds like it will do the job. Not obvious, though how I download etc. I followed the links to the OSCommerce site but lucked out there as well.
