Great programming! I'm certainly going to pay for commercial license after I get the site done and published!
I'm thinking of creating highslide based products page for showing furnitures.
I have found my favorite (for now) http://highslide.com/examples/gallery-t ... above.html
with few tweaks:
hs.outlineType = 'rounded-white';
hs.wrapperClassName = 'controls-in-heading';
thumbstrip:
position:'right',
mode: 'vertical',
I'm using <div class="highslide-heading"> for Product name and title="for Product information"
I have many galleries (thumbnails) on same page and I figured thumbs and slideshowgroups ok. I'm using one thumbnail for one product and put product variables (such as different colors and so..) to hidden container. Pictures in one gallery are mainly same size. Picture sizes between galleries change signifigantly.
I like this because it's very easy to popup multiple products for comparing.
Everything fine so far. Suprisingly easy considering I normally work with cad, cnc programming and so. Doing our own website is just a hobby in the evenings (nights).
Few questions:
1. I would like to have hs.usebox=false to have similar margins for small and large pictures, but when disabling hs.usebox my thumbs overlap the main picture. Is there any way to have certain margin for thumbs on right side?
2. Alt / Tooltips for thumbs inside gallery (hidden container). It would be nice to show user what is coming up from each thumb. Is this already coded in or am I just missing something?
3. Neat way to show product information (Code, Color, Dimensions, Weight and so) in title. If I use br to change row, it shows in 'tooltips' on mainpage. I was aiming for some nice tabs, but I'm afraid my coding skills don't get me there. EDIT: Search engines should easily find this information.
4. People who have Java disabled, they get the pictures but not the product info and additional pictures. Is there any easy way to at least inform them that they should enable java to experience the site as it should? I don't wanna make many different pages for one product since I'm aiming for as-easy-as-possible to update new products to the site.
5. Is it possible to move all the text to .txt file to be able to easily create multilingual sites? Just need to update .txt links to change language, pictures and stuff remain the same. Or maybe <xml> file? Don't know anything about php or any other than some html..
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Besides you have great piece of software also your user support rocks. It's always nice to see dedicated people.
