Boost your Magento store's image display with MagicZoom
Nov 2, 2012 · 1 minute readCategory: javascriptphpmagentojquery
Magento’s product images come with a workable, although somewhat unusual image zoom functionality. But many users want a lightbox which lets users click an image and see a large version. Of course, you can use just about any jQuery plugin in your templates - Magic Zoom being one such perfect example.
But instead of manually installing and configuring the Javascript yourself, MagicZoom has its own Magento MagicZoom extension which can be dropped straight in and integrates beautifully with Magento
Some highlights MagicZoom’s Magento extension
- Automatically inserts the product title onto the zoomed box
- Automatically linking main image and thumbnails for navigation when zoomed
- Visible on pretty much any area of the site, not just the product view page
- Per-theme customisation
- An insane amount of user-configurable options without touching a line of code (see below)
