I wish I Spoke PHP

Posted in PHP, lightbox 2.2, mouseover, oscommerce, popup, website on March 4, 2008 by brushfires

The website is moving on… slowly. I am an average computer user. I understand the stuff you need to make it work, and I am learning more but the time it has taken me to figure out how to create mouseover images in Oscommerce and how to add an image that is not of a product is ridiculous. Not to mention the mouseover effect only works on buttons and products not on the new images too.

Very irritating! I just want to have an image of the painting/drawing which when moused over shows the original photo. Ideally then it would be clickable to show a pop up using the cool new lightbox 2 popup application.

Can I make it work? No. I am in danger of Computer Versus Wall Syndrome if it keeps mucking me about. I have trawled forums searching in vain for a solution that works. It seems I am alone in my desires. Is there anyone out there who knows how it works?

Surely it can’t be that hard. Can it?

Why!

My name is Darren also known as BN from the Little Nut Tree and I am starting a business called brushfires.co.uk. This will be up and running soon and I am starting this blog to run along side the site. I’m not entirely sure why or how long it will last should the website take off and I make millions but what the hell!

I should say that I am an artist and my website will sell my work and also offer the opportunity to have a photo turned into a great piece of art. I’ll post finished works here and also works in progress, ideas and who knows what else. As an artist, feedback is vital and if a blog is for anything, it’s feedback.

Welcome.
