Quick Tips

How the plugin works ? the basic work flow of the plugin is just override two div classes from your template, by default VM uses following classes. main-image and additional-images.

Some templates may changes these class, so you can set those from plugin param section.Also is there any jQuery issue just disable jQuery from plugin advanced options.

Still Facing Issue.

then your template may have more changes from standard VM layouts classes.

In that case you can just open following two files.

templates\yourtemplate_name\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default_images.php

and
templates\yourtemplate_name\html\com_virtuemart\productdetails\default_images_additional.php

then comment the Divs on the pages add it your own eg:

<div class=”main-image”></div> // for default_images.php

and <div class=”additional-images”></div> // for default_images_additional.php

(by commenting these nothing to loose except the image sections that will re create the plugin)

These Div’s will replace with plugin section once it render.

    1. Hi,

      Sorry for the delay, I think you’re using Joomla 3.x and VM3.x right ?
      Free version do not support VM 3.x , you have to use PRO version for testing the plugin you can test it in VM 2.x free version will works fine.

      If you have any trouble with free version in VM 2.x I will happy to help you , use my contact form.

    1. Can you please explain in details ?
      clicking on which image Main image or thumbnails ?
      what link ? product link or large image link ?
      are you looking for the enlarged image shows when you clickng main image feature ? It is available in the PRO version.

  4. Hi there,
    I totally love this plugin, but…

    My additional images are not shown until I remake them in the Virtuemart Config panel.
    When I disable the plugin, it’s all fine. Any ideas?
    The thumb settings are at 80

    Joomla! 3.5.0 – Virtuemart 3.0.14 – jQuery OFF

    1. The additional images path are taken from the Virtuemart configuration, the path of the thumbnail.
      So it not working for you either the path may altered or you may cutsomize the core files of VM.

      if you can share the site URL I can take a look at it and figure out how it happen, use my contact form.
      thanks.

  5. This is not well thought.
    You give us a free version which is not working at actual websites, just on Joomla! version 2.5 ones – should I now set up an earlier version again for testing your plug?
    This is a fail, bro – you could earn more money when the free version would work fine and I would prefer to get the enhanced version.
    That way I do not use anything… because it generally sucks.
    but thanks for the try to convince me^^ the idea was nice

    1. It works well bro,

      if it not works on your website then might be your template altered too many things from VM standard templates, you can find the classes and fix it from plugin params.
      or just use my contact form to sent the site url will look it and fix it for you.

  6. This plugin works wonderfully well on another site I’ve built, but with this site I get a broken image icon when the plugin is enabled. The product image returns when the plugin is disabled. I’ve looked everywhere for a solution, but no joy.

    The CSS class is main-image, JQuery version is 1.11+

    Any suggestions about where else I can look for a resolution.

    1. The reason is simple , Your old sites running in VM2.x version and Joomla 2.5 series.

      The new sites that gets broken image when the plugin runs is using VM3.x or VM2.9.x and in Joomla3.x right ?

      The Free version doesn’t support VM3.x and J3.x.
      You can choose the PRO version it have the support in Joomla3.x and VM3.x.

      1. Thank you so much for your quick response. I suspected that might be the case, but couldn’t find anywhere on your site where that distinction was made clear. Perhaps I just overlooked it?

        1. The details already described in this page itself.
          you can saw that, the difference note section have “Virtuemart 3.x ready.” for PRO version also when you look at the PRO product page, and demo link its running in latest Joomla and VM version.

          I can guarantee that the PRO version should work fine on VM3.x and Joomla3.x

          1. Thank you. I will definitely be recommending the PRO version to my client.

            Cheers!
            M.

  7. I installed this but can not get it to work.

    As soon as I enable the plugin my layout gets screwed, and I can solve that, but then the first image does not appear on thumbnails. Only the additional images, and as soon as I select an additional image, my first image is gone!

    I can not find out how to get help on the plugin, so effectively I can not use it?

    1. Sorry for the inconvenience,

      I upgraded the plugin with basic features. Now you can set the DIV Classes from plugin configuration.
      Also the First thumbnail missing issue Fixed.
      So Please download the latest version.
      If you found it useful please rate it on JED also need more zoom modes buy PRO.

      1. Sorry,but not quite
        If I install new version, I get weird thumbnails, with a property of some sorts and no zoom effect at all?

        1. did you removed the previous version ?
          You have to remove or disable previous version then install new version it works I tested.
          If you still facing issue share your site url I will hep you to fix it.
          If you don’t want to share it in public use my contact form.

    Please help me find a solution.

    Thanks in advance,

    RodeoKid

    1. Its not the issue with jQuery conflict,
      I think one DIV closing is missed or early closed.
      make sure your template classes are correct with plugin file, may be one class is correct another one is not.
      Check the plugin file

      plugins/system/vmwwmzoom/vmwwmzoom.php

      1. Ok,, i changed the line 152 in vmwwmzoom.php: $html .= ''; for this: $html .= '';

        now it is ok for pages with only 1 image…but on pages with additional images in slider, the background under the footer is missing again…and when i click on 1 additional image, it opens in a new windows with blank background, instead of taking it’s place in the main image location…
        Please help me !

        RodeoKid

        1. This may happen due to additional image class is different in plugin file and layout file.
          So Fix is simply check your default page inside product details view and make sure two DIV with class
          “main-image” and “additional-images ” It search for these DIV. So if your default page don’t have these DIV place the proper class on the plugin file.(the layout containg classes on plugin file)

          Just edit the following file,
          plugins/system/vmwwmzoom/vmwwmzoom.php search for the above two classes and replace with your template file holding classes.

          Hope it help you to fix the problem

  9. Hello Jobin Jose,
    thanks for this cool plugin but however there is one thing i would like you to see that in additional images i can see other images but not the first one. so if i click on any additional image it takes place with the first one and then there is no way to see the first image of product. please help me if its possible.

    thanks again

  12. Hello jobin Jose.
    First of all i really appreciate you hardwork. making such plugin and providing it for free is absolutely amazing how ever it still need few tweaks on its functionality because many of people build their site on third party templates but anyhow thanks.

    1. Thanks for your feedback, I know no one uses VM default template for their shop, but unfortunately right now some limitations on third part template bcoz they don not keep a common standard. In this case use VM Zoom image Pro with Support to integrate in your website.

      Hopefully in future able to do for all templates. thanks..

    1. You do not need to set any other configurations, Just Install the plugin and activate it.

      If you are using any custom templates make sure the plugin used classes (VM default templates classes exists on your template). In case of other templates check my reply to “ilias”. Also make sure no jQuery conflict on you pages.

      Let me know the status.

  14. I have install this plugins 3 times but i don’t see zoom effect…
    I use joomla 2.5 e vm 2, expose template
    Please can you help me?

    1. Please check my reply to “ilias” some other template may override VM default classes so the plugin will not compatible with that , but you can simple make it compatible just figure out the proper class name and follow my reply comment for “ilias”

    1. For enable the VM Zoom Plugin just go to plugin manager -> Search for “Zoom” Choose VM Zoom Plugin click enable and set the configuration.

      Also Please download the latest version I have fixed some zoom window style issue. This will fix the layout issue too.
      Please let me know the status.
      thank you..

  18. Hello,
    Thanks for sharing, but in my case the plugin it’s not working correctly, it just displays one more image in the image gallery.
    I have VM 2.0.8c and Joomla! 2.5.4
    Any idea what I missed

    1. The basic idea of the zoom plugin is simple its overwrites two DIV from the VM default templates.
      If you are using any other templates it may be not compatible bcoz the DIV may changed.

      So Fix is simply check your default page inside product details view and make sure two DIV with class
      “main-image” and “additional-images ” It search for these DIV. So if your default page don’t have these DIV place the proper class on the plugin file.

      Just edit the following file,
      plugins/system/vmwwmzoom/vmwwmzoom.php search for the above two classes and replace with your template file holding classes.

      For default Joomla and VM2.x Versions it works fine.

      Hope this will fix your issue.
      Please let me know the status.

  19. Hi,
    I downloaded your plugin to zoom my products on VM but it did not work.

    I enabled the plugin from components. Is there any other settings I need to change for the zoom to appear on VM?

    1. Which Version of VM you are using ? the basic idea of the zoom plugin is simple its overwrites two DIV from the VM default templates.
      If you are using any other templates it may be not compatible bcoz the DIV may changed.

      So Fix is simply check your default page inside product details view and make sure two DIV with class
      “main-image” and “additional-images ” It search for these DIV. So if your default page don’t have these DIV place the proper class on the plugin file.

      Just edit the following file,
      plugins/system/vmwwmzoom/vmwwmzoom.php search for the above two classes and replace with your template file holding classes.

      Hope this will fix your issue.
