This module is based on Magento custom designed gallery extended with:
- /app/code/local/Inchoo/GallFront/controllers/Cu3erController.php
- /app/code/local/Inchoo/GallFront/controllers/XmlController.php
- /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/gallery/cu3er.phtml
- /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/gallery/output.phtml
- and files needed for cu3er to run in /skin/frontend/default/default/cu3er
- database tables remains the same

Main part is how you render your xml file.
That happeds in /app/code/local/Inchoo/GallFront/controllers/XmlController.php in indexAction().
Sample of xml is commented and my simple code is bellow.

Output of xml file is at: http://www.yourwebsite.com/inchoogallery/xml

For advanced manipulation with flash see documentation on cu3er website.
Advanced documentation for cu3er you can find on http://www.progressivered.com/cu3er/docs/

You can try to extend gallery tables with new fields which will handle data with effects.

Final result is at http://www.yourwebsite.com/inchoogallery/cu3er.
(For example you can try to use this module for category header images.)

Code is here.
Enjoy coding!

Here is a practical example of a code sample from default media.phtml file:

    < ?php foreach ($this->getGalleryImages() as $_image): ?>
        <li>
            <a href="#" onclick="popWin('<?php echo $this->getGalleryUrl($_image) ?>', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=0,top=0,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="< ?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_image->getLabel()) ?>"><img src="<?php echo $this-/>helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'thumbnail', $_image->getFile())->resize(56); ?>" width="56" height="56" alt="< ?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_image->getLabel()) ?>" /></a>
        </li>
    < ?php endforeach; ?>

Turning it into this will yield a “frame-free” image:

< ?php foreach ($this->getGalleryImages() as $_image): ?>
	<li>
		<a href="#" onclick="popWin('<?php echo $this->getGalleryUrl($_image) ?>', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=0,top=0,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="< ?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_image->getLabel()) ?>"><img src="<?php echo $this-/>helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'thumbnail', $_image->getFile())->keepFrame(false)->resize(56); ?>" alt="< ?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_image->getLabel()) ?>" /></a>
	</li>
< ?php endforeach; ?>

As you can see, all it took was to add the keepFrame(false) method call prior to calling the resize() method.

Here are the results of before/after scenario.

Hope it helps around minor styling issues

Cheers.

UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"me.png"];

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(myImage, self, @selector(image:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);

// And if you wish add this selector method in code;

- (void) image:(UIImage*)image didFinishSavingWithError:(NSError *)error contextInfo:(NSDictionary*)info;

That’s all you have to add! Quite simple, is it?

I’m actually trying to merge something like this with default zoom, but i’m not finished yet. Anyway, i left all javascript and styling in media.phtml file, so just download the file

media.phtml.rar

and replace it with your own at
app/design/frontend/default/yourtheme/template/catalog/product/view/media.phtml

It was made with default Magento theme. Enjoy.

However, during the past few years Google AdWords has evolved into a powerful tool which enables you to do much more then increase targeted visitor traffic to your site – it can help you brand your business.

If you are working with large daily budgets and are trying to raise awareness of your brand in online environment, you might consider using AdWords image ads.

AdWords allows you to place image ads into content in formats of .gif, .jpg, .png and .swf. It supports most of the common standard ad banner sizes including:

• 468 x 60 Banner
• 728 x 90 Leaderboard
• 250 x 250 Square
• 200 x 200 Small Square
• 336 x 280 Large Rectangle
• 300 x 250 Medium Rectangle
• 120 x 600 Skyscraper
• 160 x 600 Wide Skyscraper

Let’s take a closer look at the .swf ad format. This ad format actually gives you quiet some flexibility and allows you to be much more creative in advertisement messages you serve to your potential visitors.

You should keep in mind the fact that the ad size can not exceed 50k limit, however, 50k is more then enough to deliver a good, creative and informative ad. One of the best .swf AdWords content ads I’ve seen so far was the ad for Croatian site called njuskalo.hr. While limited with 50k file size they managed to deliver a content rich ad which left an impression of looking at 10 seconds long video ad.

Few tips on using .swf ads in Google AdWords content advertisement:

1. Carefully think about concept of your .swf ad concentrating on how it will fit into different ad sizes.
2. Create the .swf ad for every ad size available. You don’t wanna end up losing a potentially great place to advertise at just because you were to lazy to create an ad in format the site displays.
3. Make ads rich with both motion and content. There is no point in creating a static img and serving it as a .swf ad when you can do so much more.
