Facebox

This is an extension for Spree, allowing to show zoomed product images to the customer:

It's based on Facebox: http://github.com/defunkt/facebox

A lot of code was taken from this project: http://github.com/eliotsykes/spree-zoom-photos

Installation

Installation is quite simple:

• Add the gem source to your Gemfile gem 'spree_facebox', :git => 'https://github.com/3months/spree-facebox.git', :branch => 'rails3'
• Run bundle install and then rake spree_facebox:install:assets

Consequences

New extra large image size of 1000x1000. So when new image uploaded on server it will have a 1000x1000 size in addition to default sizes. There is a way to transform existing images to the larger size, however do make sure that your original images are of a sufficient quality for this to be worthwhile - see the next section for different methods.

#Resizing existing images Resize all images: rake paperclip:refresh:thumbnails Resize only 'Image' images: rake paperclip:refresh:thumnails CLASS=Image (This is the one you want to resize just your Product/Variant images. Resize a selction of Product images:

• Jump into a console and grab a selection of Products whose images you want to resize (using Array.select, or AR finders, etc).
• [collection].each { |product| product.images.each { |image| image.reprocess! }}
