Big Images Modification v1.25 for osCommerce 2.2 MS2 -only

I use oscom 2.2MS2 so i had to write an update for Big Images v1.24, because it was not compatible with my version.
I call the Result Big Images v1.25 for osCommerce 2.2 MS2 - only.

Please read Readme.txt for more information.

Thanx to all other authors of this nice oscommerce addon!

(NOTE: THIS IS AN FIXED VERSION OF THE PREVIOUS SUBMISSION, WHERE A BACKTICK WAS INTERPRETED AS A SINGLE QUOTE. NOTE THE BACKTICK BEFORE "CATALOG")

I contacted osCommerce a couple times to have them fix this one-character problem so a resubmission was not necessary, but no response. So, here we go.

This is the SQL ALTER TABLE statement necessary to make Big Images 1.24 work. (The feature will not function without it)

You don't need to download the file, simply execute this using PHPMyAdmin or your favorite client:

ALTER TABLE `catalog`.`products` ADD `products_bimage` VARCHAR(64) AFTER `products_image`;

This assumes your database is named "catalog", if it is not, edit and change "catalog" to the name of your database before running it.

A "Big Image" feature of some sort should definitely be included in the main tree. It's a very small amount of code.

This contribution has been updated to be compatible with osCommerce 2.2 MS1

Originally written by John Poynton, this version was updated by Richard Aspden then again by Fritz Clapp to the current CVS tree, as of 24 August 2002.
This v1.23a also includes admin/manufacturers.php 1.48, required to track the revisions to categories.php.
This mod will allow you to store 2 image sizes via the Admin menu - standard thumbnail and larger image.
The large image is then used as the 'pop-up' from the product-info page - If there is NO large image - the standard image will be used in the pop-up.
You can now preview the big image via a 'pop-up' during the 'Preview phase' whilst adding a product via the admin menu.
This would be a seriously useful addition to the main CVS code!

Only tested on latest CVS release.
NOTE: Images are stored in the same directory so must have different names.
