Big Day Release: Magento Product View Gallery

Magento Product View Gallery is the all-in-one extension, providing flexible configuration of your product galleries. After installing the module you’ll have the possibility of setting neat scroll bars to look through the images as well as adding video clips, that can be played instantly right on the product page. Besides, two legendary extensions – Cloud Zoom and Fancybox – were embedded for you to use them and adjust all the settings at one place.

Key features:

  • Enhanced configuration of product galleries
  • Cloud Zoom image zoom plugin embedded
  • FancyBox images displaying plugin embedded
  • Scrolling through thumbnails
  • Possibility of arranging pictures on the page
  • Possibility of adding video and playing it on the page

Two outstanding image plugins, Cloud Zoom and Fancybox, are now both integrated into the Magento Product View Gallery extension.

Cloud Zoom is a popular fly-out jQuery image zoom plugin used on many high profile retail sites. It is a mature and reliable image zoom solution. FancyBox is a tool for displaying images, html content and multi-media in a Mac-style “lightbox” that floats overtop of web page.

Along with using modules, admin can add videos to product pages and configure scrolling through thumbnails. Nothing now prevents you from making all product galleries irresistibly perfect!

How to use it?

Log in to the demo admin panel, navigate to System –> Configuration –> Product View Gallery.

In Main Image and Thumbs areas, define the size of the corresponding product pictures in pixels.

In the Animation Speed field enter how many milliseconds it will take images to appear, fade away and perform any other actions related to animation.

In the next two fields, enable or disable Cloudzoom and Fancybox modules correspondingly.

In the next two fields, configure these modules. You may select the ready-to-use mode or configure all the parameters of either extension yourself.
