This contribution is for any seller who is offering products using the Products Attributes contribution..
If you have photos of the different product attributes (e.g you might have an item available in
different colors), then this contribution provides a quick and easy way for your customers to look at all the different
attribute pictures on the product_info page using automatically generated thumbnails without having to refresh the whole
page each time they click a thumbnail.
It can handle multiple attribute names and values.
There is no need for any Admin section configuration. Adding new product attribute pictures is simply a matter of naming
and saving a file.
For a working example of this contribution, visit http://www.lannathaicrafts.com/plywood-doubleroof-gilded-spirit-house-p-60.html
and scroll down the page until you see the Product Options Viewing Area.
Requirements
To use this contribution, you must meet the following prerequisites:
1) Your server must have the GD graphics library installed
2) You must have the Products Attributes contribution installed in osCommerce
(most, if not all distributions of oscMax have it)
3) This version will only display cleanly with stores that use the full width of a 1024 pixel-wide screen.
If your store is narrower than this, you will have to tweak the html code that will be added to product_info(.tpl).php.
4) You must be using product model numbers for your products.
5) All product attribute image files must be .jpg
No database access is required. Filenames are used as metadata for images.

From this version onwards you can ignore the requirements set out above. Some are obsolete, others are no longer required due to improvements in the code.
