    • The site looks great, but like Tony said, it took a long time for the site to load. Oddly enough, what caught my eye, the reflection of clock, still spells clock.

    • Thanks for the feedback. I had noticed the site running slow tonight so I'll look further into it tomorrow. Thanks.

    • Hello,

      Nice site, I am hoping you can let me know how you got the image pop up to work in virtuemart please.
      I haave been searching for weeks and have not been able to find a solution:-(
      I have the replicant theme for this site: www.agneswatersurf.com.au
      The shop is not live yet but you can view the browse page I want to add the image pop up to (the browse4 page) here: www.agneswatersurf.com.au/index.php?opti...egory_id=5&Itemid=93
      I would be soooooooo greateful if you could give me step by step instructions on how to implement this feature.
      Thank you in advance
      Ann

    • Hi, it was quite a while ago when I did this and a bit of a pain to do, so I won't be able to give you step by step info. However, I can give you some pointers. You need to use something called LIGHTBOX or similar which is a script you can find by searching the web. There is lots of info at Joomla.org or Virtuemart.com. If you search the rockettheme site you should find details on the scripts. Also go to the virtuemart forum and do a search there, that's what I did. Lots of info there as well as potential issues.The basic steps are that you will first need to add the lightbox script to your template which consists of adding a directory of some files and calling the main lightbox script from your templates index.php file (not the joomla index.php). Then this is where the real painful stuff comes in. You will need to find all the virtuemart bits of code where you want to add the effect when opening an image. Most of them, from what I recall are in template files, but I'm pretty sure I also mod some other files. You will need to add a rel="lightbox" tag to the image to use the lightbox script, but this Info will be in the scripts help files. This should at least get you started. Good luck ;D
