Manual photo filmstrips in jQuery
Posted by Michael on 29/04/2009 17:47
One thing I was looking for recently, was a way in jQuery to click a thumbnail image, and for a larger image on the page to be replaced with the larger version the thumbnail (which the thumbnail is a link to). This was for some improvements to our e-commerce framework. After searching without success (although I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before), I realised it would be really easy to create from scratch - so I did, and here it is for you all to enjoy! Its really simple, but does the job.
$(document).ready(function(){
imageSwapper(".thumbnails a");
});
function imageSwapper(link) {
$(link).click(function(){
$('#largeimage').attr('src', this.href);
return false;
});
};
Just put the thumbnails in a div or paragraph of class thumbnails, and give the large image an ID of large image, and you are good to go!

Following on from the article about Shipping and Tax calculations last week, Packt Publishing have also released an article about Managing Discounts, Vouchers and Referrals with PHP 5 Ecommerce, based on some of my latest book, PHP 5 E-Commerce Development.
The article discusses how to design and implement a discount code feature within an e-commerce system, how to extend this to create purchasable gift voucher codes, and discusses integrating referral management too.

Drupal 6 Social Networking
Posted by Michael on 30/12/2008 15:10
At the end of November, my third book was announced by Packt Publishing. Drupal 6 Social Networking, which walks through the creation of a Social Networking website, using the powerful CMS, Drupal.
Thie was a really interesting book to write, because while I'd written about Drupal before (Selling Online with Drupal e-Commerce) I covered a whole different set of modules, as well as taking a more detailed look at module development, and theme development.
Packt have announced quite alot of new Drupal books over the past twelve months, which just go to show, you certainly can do an awful lot with Drupal! Read on for more information about the book.
