30 Jun

After reviewing the latest release from SilverThemes, I decided it was time to review another company that offers modules for popular and widely used e-commerce platforms like Magento, osCommerce, Volusion and many others. I came across a set of modules being offered by Magic Toolbar. The great thing about the modules being offered by Magic Toolbox is that are highly extendable for the following e-commerce platforms…

  • VirtueMart
  • Joomla!
  • Magento
  • osCommerce
  • CRE Loaded
  • X-Cart
  • Xt-commerce
  • Zen cart
  • Cubecart
  • Drupal
  • WordPress
  • CS-Cart
  • Or you can customize it to suit your custom needs!

One of their most widely used plug-in is “Magic Zoom Plus” plug-in and it boasts the ability to zoom images 2 different ways either by hovering over which displays a zoomed area or click the image to enlarge the image full size. The great thing about it is that it’s easy to install, it uses clean and valid HTML code, and it’s very customizable which allows you to customize it any way you want!

Here are a few more examples of the Magic Zoom Plus in action…

Magic Zoom Plus – Multiple Images with a Wide Zoom

Magic Zoom Plus – Internal Zoom

Magic Zoom Plus – Multiple Images with Text Links and Titles

You can purchase the Magic Zoom Plus module from Magic Toolbox three different ways…
