Overview
I have released a new extension for the Magento E-commerce system. The extension is a replacement for my first extension “Magento JQZoom”.
The new extension has more features including:
- Smooth zoom movement.
- Define the dimensions of the zoom window.
- Define the position of the zoom window.
- Z/Y pixel spaces for the zoom window.
- Show or Hide the title on top of the zoom window. Also, define the opacity.
- Define lens opacity.
- Dimensions of the main image.
- Soft focus and inner zoom features.
- Overlay color and opacity on hover.
The the javascript is based on Cloud Zoom plugin for JQuery.
You can view the extension in Magento connect. Or you can download the file and install it manually from here.
Manual Install
- Download the zip file.
- Extract the content of the file.
- Copy and Paste the folder Moo/ into /app/code/community/
- Copy and Paste the folder modules/ into /app/etc/
- Copy and Paste the folder skin/ into /[the root directory of your Magento installation]
- Copy and Paste the folder design/ into /app/
- Login into you admin interface. Go to System > Configuration > Catalog > Moo Product Gallery “CloudZoom” to configure the plugin
FAQ
- When I view the configuration page, I get 404 page not found, or 403 access denied?
- This is common problem when installing any Magento extension. To fix this you need to refresh the role permission. Go to System > Permissions > Roles > Administrators and click Save Role.
- Does it work with Magento stable 1.5.0.1?
- Yes
- I cannot install the extension. I am getting the following error:
Failed to download magento-community/Moo_CloudZoom within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 1.1.1, stability "beta", use "channel://connect.magentocommerce.com/community/Moo_CloudZoom-1.1.1" to install Cannot initialize 'channel://connect.magentocommerce.com/community/Moo_CloudZoom', invalid or missing package file Install Errors Package "channel://connect.magentocommerce.com/community/Moo_CloudZoom" is not valid PEAR ERROR: install failed
- This is because your Magento Connect is set to install extensions with stable version only. This extension is beta. To fix this in Magento Connect click on the settings tab and change the preferred state to beta.
Enjoy! 
Hi, I like this extension very much. Thank you for affording such a wonderful extension.
As you know, there is a bug in Opera. And I have found the cause.
In the definition of variable ch and cw, zoomDiv.width() returns an incorrect value in Opera. It is due to a bug of Opera or jQuery.
I modified it to parseInt(zoomDiv.css(‘width’)), and it worked well.
I don’t know if that is the best way to solve the issue, but it works in IE6/7/8, FF 3.6/4 and Chrome 10 (I have not tested in Safari).
I hope you can fix it in the next version!
Thanks for your contribution. I will test your fix in Safari.
Also,
I tried to install manually and copied all folders like you instructed, but no “Moo Product Gallery “CloudZoom” configuration in system>configuration>catalogue 🙁
My Magento version is 1.5.0.1
In Magento sometimes you may need to logout and login again. Also, you might want to refresh permission role for administrators (see FAQ).
Hello Mohammed!
When I’m trying to install your extension via Magento Connect it shows this error – “community/Moo_CloudZoom: Version for ‘Moo_CloudZoom’ was not detected”
I was using these keys to try:
magento-community/Moo_CloudZoom-1.1.3
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Moo_CloudZoom-1.1.3
Make sure you have the preferred state set to beta
I’ve installed it manually. Thanks for easy instructions!
does it work with 1.5? installation is fine but not working here: doesnt’call the js neither the right media.phtml any ideas?
I have not tested it yet with 1.5. I don’t know if it will work or not.
Also, 1.5 is a preview version and not for production website. See http://www.magentocommerce.com/blog/comments/magento-preview-version-ce-1510-rc1-now-available/
It is not worth spending time in making the extension work with a preview version.
it’s the 1.5.1.0 i have the 1.5.0.1 and
http://www.magentocommerce.com/download
you can download only the 1.5 now…
Hmmm thanks I have not seen that. I will upgrade the extension as soon as I can.
I love this extension, but there seems to be a problem with the new Internet Exporer 9 version. The zooming doesn’t work in IE9.
That is internet explorer it has so many issues.
I just found out that ie9 works only for vista or window7!!! I use Mac and I have access to window xp. I will try to get access to vista pc to test the extension. but i don’t promise any new version sometime soon.
The latest version 1.1.4 now works in IE9
I’ve installed the estesion here http://www.tiendacan.es, and is activated but the effect doesnt appear.
I used this version: magento-community/Moo_CloudZoom-1.1.3
You have 2 javascript errors in product page. The errors is at line 48, and 57 in http://www.tiendacan.es/skin/frontend/canes/f001_green/js/productInfo.js
Error message, “$(el).getElementsBySelector(“.ajax”)[0] is undefined”
it will work with default theme only?
or any other theme and also will it work with magento 1.4.1.1.
please tell me the steps for manual installation.
Thanks
Danish.
Yes it work with Magento version 1.4.1.1.
It work with a custom theme too. It is possible that your custom theme override the extension template file (media.phtml)
I have installed it, but not working, the lens for zooming not coming and the zooming not working…..
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance
Danish.
What is the link to your website?
Thank you! Very good!
Hi, nice extension but it doesn’t work in opera. Why?
The extension developed and tested on FireFox, Chrome, IE7/8, and Safari. Opera is not a common browser and I am not fan of it 🙂
