Preload images advice please - only preload first group

[chameleondm]

Hi

My details page is coming along nicely using magiczoom, this page has a product available in 3 colours, each colour has 3 images.
I have used the group parameter which then when you click the colour selector, switches to the relevant colour images. Fine.

Please see http://esu.sosimpleuk.com/html/product-detail-new.htm

Problem is that the page is pre-loading all required images and so is slow to load.

I need it to initially just preload all the black images (group:black), then if another colour is clicked, those images are loaded.

Is that possible? Or at least some similar functionality, maybe tell the page to not automatically pre-load the XL images etc


Thanks, James

I have found these parameters but where should they go exactly? Thanks, J

preload-selectors-small    true    true / false    Multiple images, preload small images
preload-selectors-big    false    true / false    Multiple images, preload large images

Hi,

You should add them to the REl attribute. Please have a look at numerous examples available in your ZIP archive with Magic Zoom or on our website: http://www.magictoolbox.com/magiczoom/examples/

Hi

I have tried adding

preload-selectors-big:false

to the 3 white thumbnail images and then big image which would then zoom the XL image, but my activity window still has loaded all the XL images below.... Please advise.

You need to add this to the REL attribute of <A> tag of the main zoom image, not to thumbnails.
