This elegant image scroller extension will keep your Magento product images looking fabulous. You will avoid having a cluttered page. Instead, you can show any number of images, neatly accessible in an image slider.

It works on mobiles, tablets and desktops, in every browser. It's totally customizable, so you can choose the size, style, speed and behaviour to suit your page. All easily done in seconds via the Magic Scroll extension settings page.

Use it wherever you need. Not just the product page but also on category pages, the home page, the search results page, bestsellers and anywhere else where a cool image slider is needed. Start now - download the free trial version today.

Multiple images

Swapping between the main product image and thumbnail images is a standard feature of our Magento image zoom tools (Magic Zoom Plus, Magic Zoom & Magic Thumb). But what happens when you have lots of images for the same product? An easy way to keep thumbnail images contained is to use Magic Scroll.

Magic Scroll allows customers to scroll through each product image using arrows. It's the perfect way to keep any product page layout looking slick.

The example below shows Magic Zoom Plus combined with Magic Scroll:


To achieve this look, simply:

  1. Install and buy Magic Zoom Plus for Magento.
  2. Activate Magic Scroll option on the Magic Zoom Plus settings page in Magento.
  3. To remove the Magic Scroll trial version message, buy discounted license from Magic Zoom Plus order page:
    a) Log in to your Magic Toolbox Account.
    b) Click 'Download/View' button next to your Magic Zoom Plus order.
    c) Click orange button: Purchase Magic Scroll 35% discount (pay £18.85 instead of £29).
    d) Follow payment process.
  4. Download magicscroll.js file from your license and upload to /skin/frontend/[your_interface]/[your_theme]/js/magicscroll.js (app/code/MagicToolbox/MagicZoomPlus/view/frontend/web/js/magicscroll.js for M2) on your server.
  5. Clear browser cache. The 'Trial version' message will disappear.

Magento 2 stores

There is no dedicated home page settings page for Magento 2 but you can still create an amazing slider on the homepage of your store using HTML.

In your home page content area or template, create a div with a class of MagicScroll. Sliders can have as many images as you want. Here is a scroll of 7 images, each linking to a URL:

<div class="MagicScroll">
    <a href="/page-1/"><img src="example1.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-2/"><img src="example2.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-3/"><img src="example3.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-4/"><img src="example4.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-5/"><img src="example5.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-6/"><img src="example6.jpg"></a>
    <a href="/page-7/"><img src="example7.jpg"></a>
</div>

Customize the slider as you wish using Magic Scroll's HTML settings.

Custom block carousel

You can use a custom scroll block to create sliders on another page instead of your homepage. To create a custom scroll block, open this file:

app/design/frontend/[your_interface]/[your_theme]/layout/magicscroll.xml

and alter this block:

<reference name="content">...</reference>

in this section of the file:

<cms_page>...</cms_page>

CMS page carousel

Add an image carousel to any CMS page on your Magento store:

  1. On the Magic Scroll extension settings page, set the 'Include headers on all pages' parameter to 'Yes' (under the Defaults settings tab).
  2. Go to your admin panel > CMS > Pages. Add a new page or select an existing page.
  3. On the 'Content' tab click on the 'Show/Hide Editor' button to disable the editor.
  4. Insert Magic Scroll anywhere in the code. It requires a div with a class of MagicScroll and all your carousel images inside. For example:
    <div class="MagicScroll">
    <a href="page1.html"><img src="example1.jpg"></a>
    <a href="page2.html"><img src="example2.jpg"></a>
    <a href="page3.html"><img src="example3.jpg"></a>
    <a href="page4.html"><img src="example4.jpg"></a>
    </div>
    
  5. Click 'Save Page'.
  6. Click 'Preview' to see your scroll in action!
  7. Visit the detailed instructions for changing the options of your carousel - mode, orientation, size, autoplay etc.

Multi-language

You can change the language of the message and loading text like so:
  1. Find the locale folder for the language you wish to change e.g. /app/locale/en_US.
  2. Open the file Mage_Api.csv into the editor and insert these lines at the and of the file:
  3. Continue these steps for each locale you wish to change.

Magento carousel benefits

What do Amazon, Nike and eBay all have in common? They are all global online retailers; They are all billion dollar businesses and they all use image carousels on the website homepage.

In fact as of writing, Amazon UK uses 10 image carousels on its Homepage. As a company known for its A/B testing, the fact that Amazon has 10 image carousels on its homepage speaks volumes.

Why you should use a Magento product carousel

Clicking away from a homepage takes physical and mental energy. Energy which humans quite frankly prefer to save, whether they realise it or not.

The human mind looks for the easiest way to achieve the goal using the least amount of effort.

The fact is, using carousels on a homepage puts the User in control. A lot of content is displayed in an organised way which helps the User make an informed choice on the same page without using any extra effort.

Versatile slider effects

With 4 available design styles, you can create an image carousel to suit your product content and the web page it will be shown on.

  • Scroll - the classic carousel scroll.
  • Cover-flow - stacks images side by side with a reflection below.
  • 3D carousel - displays images in a 3D circle with a reflection below.
  • Animated - the entrance and exit effects are animated. Choose from slide or bounce.

The benefit of having 4 slider effects means each section of the Magento store you choose to use the product carousel on can look different from the rest of your store.

  • Magento 2 = Product page, Category page
  • Magento 1 = Homepage, Product page, Recently viewed products block

The Cover-flow carousel looks fun across the full width of your Magento page, while the traditional Scroll looks perfect for scrolling product thumbnails.

Customize

Easily customize how you want your image carousels to look. Each section has a designated Settings page, which lists over 20 options for you to choose from. As well as choosing from the main Scroll, Cover-flow, 3D carousel and Animated effects another popular option is to set your carousels to play automatically so customers can immediately see you have more content to show them. This is controlled by the Autoplay speed (in milliseconds) option and you can enter any speed you wish. An example would be if you wanted the speed to be 0.6 seconds, go ahead and enter '600' in the field.

Save money

If you're a Web Developer or Magento Agency buy your licenses in bulk and save money, as each of our multi-site licenses have discounts automatically added to them. Choose from 5-site (£95), 10-site (£175) and Unlimited (£399) licenses.

Very quick and useful
Support replied very quickly. I went to make a drink after emailing support and they had replied by the time I got back, with a solution which straight away fixed the issue. This is seldom the case with Magento 2 module issues, and so this was very much appreciated

Tom

Magic Scroll and Customer Service
The Magic suite of components really was a joy to work with. Having had a few bad experiences with installation of various components and modules from other suppliers I was not looking forward to installing the trial versions. It was so simple, download -> unzip -> ftp to site -> go to the install URL -> click install...done.
Customer Service was excellent, they asked what my needs were and advised me based on their knowledge and experience. It actually saved me money, you don't find that very often these days.
A special thanks to Paula for the ultra fast responses and top notch advise.

Andy

Other Magento extensions

[if product="magiczoomplus"] [/if-product]

This JavaScript carousel extension has been created for use on Magento. The script lets you choose how many images to show, the speed, the duration of the carousel, direction (top, right, bottom, left) and links to other pages. It uses CSS to control borders, colors, padding, margin and the arrows.

Perfect for showing related products, recently viewed items, new products, "people who bought this also bought". Also ideal for scrolling lots of alternative images of a product - it saves space, looks neat and tidy, feels great to use.

The Magento module is built with JavaScript and CSS. Contact us if you need any help with it.
