The product page has an option that allows a user to hover on the product image that will generate an enlarged image.  This option is known as JqZoom in the Prestashop 1.5 Administration Panel. If the option is diabled, the remaining display option is called "thickbox." The following tutorial will walk you through setting the option to use or disable jqzoom.

  1. Login to the Administration Panel as an Administrator
  2. Hover over the menu bar where it says PREFERENCES, and then click on PRODUCTS in the drop down menu. Scroll down the list of options and look for Preferences: Product page.  Select Enable JqZoom instead of Thickbox on product page in the menu as shown below:

  3. Select YES to enable JQZOOM or NO to disable the option.
  4. Select the green SAVE button in the top right hand corner of the page to save your selection.

Hi, I enabled jqzoom on my site but it has a problem on products with attributes. For some reason when the page loads, the default product image only shows a tiny, thumbnail like image. When u hover over the second image, it loads the image but the zoom window is a tiny one just like the thumbnail. Has anyone else expeirneced this? I'm using the latesta Prestashop 1.6

Here is a link to a post in the official PrestaShop forums, where they discuss possible solutions.

Thank you,
