FAQ

  1. What is a 360 product viewer?

    A 360 product viewer takes a set of 360 degree images and merges them together on a web page. This creates an interactive spin which visitors can move left and right to see every angle of the item. (If your 360 photography was also taken on Rows, your 360 spin will move up and down too.)

a small effort, big output
Installed on : Joomla 1.5, with Virtuemart 1.1.9. this has a lot of options, nicely customized but I don't know why but there is a small "string" error. I installed it on several systems but got same error every time, but the support guy helped very quickly. I checked and found one line of code was to be fixed .. specially in virtuemart version. And that was...
"coreClass->enabled(count($images)" should be
"coreClass->isEnabled(count($images)" in
plugins/system/vmmagic360.php on line no. 585.

After this change every thing worked great.

2nd issue what i faced was, if there is no 3D animation like 360 with multiple rows, than file name must be in string+number.jpg You can't give names like: smaller version - shoe-360-01.jpg, shoe-360-02.jpg, shoe-360-03.jpg. and zoomed version: shoe-800-01.jpg, shoe-800-02.jpg, shoe-800-03.jpg, You will get error.

you have to give them names like. smaller version - shoe-small-01.jpg, shoe-small-02.jpg, shoe-small-03.jpg. and zoomed version - shoe-big-01.jpg, shoe-big-02.jpg, shoe-big-03.jpg
these numeric names starts becoming like - shoe-000-01, shoe-001-01 etc.

Other than that, it's easy, good and no limit where ever you want you can put any 360 images. Please improve above errors, There are many chances that I'm the only with these errors. Thank you

1. Thanks for reporting typing error in component code for VirtueMart 1.x. This has now been fixed.
2. All spin images should be uploaded as standard product images. Upload the large version of your 360 degree images for spin, zoom & full-screen effects. Please visit here for our guide on how to name images.

Other VirtueMart components


This 360 degree spin component was created for VirtueMart. The module is released under the GPL. The 360 spin is created with the JavaScript and Flash tool, Magic 360, which is released as commercial software.

To create a 360 degree spin on your VirtueMart website, you need a set of 360 photographs of your products. Each set of photos should be shot on a turntable, with each shot equally spaced, e.g. 18 or 36 photos per rotation. They can be one row, multiple rows (for a 3D effect) or one row and one column (for a Martini effect, like the blue running shoe). If you need photos, tell us what your products are and we will get quotations for professional 360 product photography for you.
