As of revision 142 of dashCommerce i've added a new feature on product pages to now display images using lightboxes.

As it did not make the 3.0.1 release i've made available the patch to allow you to add it if you wish to do so.

It's based on the jQuery lightbox library.

Check in note.

"ADDED: Lightbox for product images.
1. You can now view images if js is disabled it just opens them in a new window makes it more accessible.
2. If you have large images it wont break the design on the product page like it did before.
3. You can cycle through all the images in the product using next and back links and it also displays the title for each one.
4. Don't need tiny thumbnails any more as it uses the same size one as the category page.
5. It looks really cool ;)

TODO: Remove tiny thumbnails."

dashCommerce previously known as the e-Commerce Starter Kit is an ASP.NET Open Source e-Commerce Application which I actively contribute to fixing bugs and creating patches has just reached RC1 status.

Chris Cyvas the lead developer has a blog post here talking about the release.
