alternative images

[Jan McFarlane]

Hi there

I have a client who wants the detail shots of his products to have alternative images. He has supplied two website links which demonstrate what he wants. ie. the large image is replaced by another large image when a small image is rolled over by mouse.

Two sites are: http://www.bagitup.co.uk and http://www.uk-clobber.com

Can this be done in Actinic?

Check out Norman's Dynamic Product Images - that can be used to do what you want:

Hi

I had found that plug in, but will that work if I have to add a size selection as well, won't the image selection interfere?

You could use this with a dummy Attribute (View) and it won't stop you having Colour, Size, or whatever attributes. It will, however, show up as a selection in the Cart so may be a bit confusing for the customers.

I've done a few Custom variations that use Customvar's and are easier to use. See http://www.standanddeliver.com/acata..._AV-500SL.html or http://www.virgofashions.com/acatalo...lle_dress.html where there are two alternative ways of doing this.

Sorry I'm new to this. How can I implement the kind of system that Norman shows in Virgo Fashions?

Ian,

If you want an image that changes with a Choice then you can use my Dynamic Product Images patch that's on my Donationware page www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff
