This image gallery is very cool...

Newegg uses an image gallery that I realy like.

Simple and sleek... The only thing I would add would be navigation arrows at the bottom sides to go to previous and next pics:

All I am really hoping for on the built in AC7 gallery is thumbnail previews built into the interface, like on Neweggs', I think it is seriously lacking in the current gallery system built into AC7. Anything else from that Newegg sample added in (like zoom in / zoom out features - PERFECT for a few hirez pics thrown in the mix BTW, and a text description of the current product at the top would be icing on the cake. Oh, and one more thing.... it would be nice to have an html editable content area at the bottom of each priducts picture gallery pop up screen.

One other comment I guess I should throw in here is, how easy is it to plug in gallery viewing software into AC7, if I say bought a flash app specifically for product gallery purposes?

By the way... RC3 is VERY nice, love the changes! and PHPBB is looking great here on the forums... I'm excited to see what else you guys cook up throughout '08!

I have always liked the newegg images, i like the tiny tiny thumb nails on the product page as well.

It would be great if Able could integrate the Jquery gallery. It is open source, and does not have any loading lag when switching between images. It runs super quick and looks great. I have it running on my old site:

I have been having some trouble getting to run properly on Able because the JavaScript has a conflict with the ASP code. I am not a programmer and if anyone knows how to integrate this I would love to hear. I will gladly share all I know about the gallery with the forum.

Someone posted code here in the last few months that does that nicely using the additional image resized dynamically as a thumbnail . I just can't find the forum post. Here is an example of it:

Cool, but I would like the text to change with the image like in our example. It allows a lot of information to be spelled out without overwhelming the customer.

I am trying to get a little help on this project. I am trying to use the Galleria image gallery with AbleCommerce. It is powered by Jquery. I am having some trouble getting the JavaScript to work with the .net code. Either the gallery stops working, or the .net code stops working. This is a client side script I am trying to use, and there is no database involved. It is all accomplished by just creating an unordered list of the images and the JavaScript does the rest.

You can see it working on my old site here:

If anyone wants to work with me on this or tackle the project, let me know. Feel free to send me a quote.

Well you can create the image list using the repeater by first loading the images and then binding the result set with the repeater. Have a look at the asset manager page under the admin/products/assets section, it is doing a similar job. Hopefully you will get all the necessary code from there.

Thanks. I am just starting to look at it now. Should I be able to use this code to have the text change with the slide show, or will this just control the image part? I don't mind adding the text manually to each photo, as I can't think of anywhere that I could but it in the Able interface to link to it.

That will deal with the image part.
