[vQmod] Main Product Image in Thumbnail List

I was trying to do just what the title says when I found that
TheMasterBrewer did it a month ago.
I made that quick mod into a vQmod in case anyone wants to try it. It's very useful if for example you want to write a javascript to make the additional images replace the main product image when you click them (you'd also have to edit the "rel" attribute if you want to use fancybox gallery functionality and not repeat the main image twice).
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<id>Include main product image in thumbnail list</id>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<vqmver>2.1.5</vqmver>

$this->data['mainthumb'] = $this->model_tool_image->resize($product_info['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_additional_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_additional_height'));
} else {
$this->data['mainthumb'] = '';
}
]]></add>
</operation>

PS: tested in 1.5.1.3

I've been asked by PM how to do the replace product image with additional image thingy... well, the easiest way is downloading
this javascript by Qphoria and following the readme inside. It's really simple, and it works!

Hello -
I know this has been a while ago, but does anyone have any idea how to make this work on OC 1.5.6? I tried it and it doesn't seem to work.

Anyone know is this works still? I really want to have the main product image to show up as a thumbnail, otherwise you can never return to look at it (if you click an alternative product image).

IMPORTANT
Don't download the one he has linked to - it's missing the last few lines of code. Instead, copy and paste the code in post #1 in to your own XML file

This mod works for me.
However, if you are using colorbox, then the code should be as given below. One problem with this is 1.5.6 already has the main product image available to colorbox but for some reason there was no thumbnail. Now that we add the main product image using this mod, there is now one thumb nail but two main product photos in the colorbox cycle.
