how to get mouseover pop up on products?

I use prostores as my store base and I am trying to use this code for my products but cant figure out where the code gets my larger image. I have my mouseover images saved as productid_mo.jpg. How does the code know which picture goes with which product? Or do I need to use a different code?

Thanks ~ Cristy

The larger image is the image surrounded by the span tag. I'm taking for example what is given by DD:

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="media/tree_thumb.jpg" width="100px" height="66px" border="0" /><span><img src="media/tree.jpg" /><br />Simply beautiful.</span></a>

The highlighted is the larger image.

I figured that... just cant figure out how to get my image there?

This is what I have so far:

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><ss:image source="$product.photoImage" alt="$product.name" width="300px" height="456px" border="0" /><span><img src="media/tree.jpg" /><br /></span></a>

How does this code know which picture goes with which product? How do the 2 pictures get linked together?

Sorry... I am having such an issue but this is all new to me so patience and help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks ~ Cristy

What language is this BTW? I haven't seen <ss> tag yet.

<ss:image source="$product.photoImage" alt="$product.name" width="300px" height="456px" border="0" />

[cristywisty]

this is the code that prostores uses to pull items from the catalog

I'm not certain about this, but what happens when you do the same thing for the large image:

<ss:image source="$product.photoImage" alt="$product.name" width="300px" height="456px" border="0" />
<span><ss:image source="$product.photoImageLarge.jpg" alt="$product.name"/><br /></span>
</a>

this might be a little more specific ... found this answer on another forum.

custom markup language (SSML) to hit the database

Do I need to save my pictures exactly the same way with just the words "Large" at the end? Is that what you mean by: photoImageLarge.jpg ?

[rangana]

No, i'm not certain, that was just a wild guess. Try this instead:

$product.photoImage

ERROR: Source string "$product.photoImageLarge.jpg" is not valid. The property or method does not exist (com.kurant.storesense.metadata.PropertyNotFoundException: Class Product does not have a property named 'photoImageLarge'.).

I will try without the Large and see what happens
