Lightbox for one image + Recently Viewed + Short description on category product page template

HI there,

Trying to be efficient in my questions here.  Out of the box these items don't show so would like to know if you can share how to accomplish each of these design items:

1. How to activate the lightbox for one image.


2. How to get the Recently Viewed feed to show up on the product detail page.

3. How to get a couple lines of the short description to show on the Category landing page, similar to this: http://agildedlife.com/collections/appliques


Thank you for your help.

Have a look on the All Settings page and search for a setting called mediasettings.defaultpicturezoomenabled, set it to True. Actually I don't know why this setting is set to false by default, or why it isn't available from the Media Settings page, I've just posted about it in the Suggestions forum.

You'll need to add the RecentlyViewedProductsBlock from the _ColumnsTwo.cshtml view somewhere on the product template view (or some other view where you want it to display)

The short description is already included on the category pages on the nop default theme but it's hidden by CSS. You can edit the styles.css to display it. If you wanted to limit the length of the text you could edit the _ProductBox.cshtml view and substring the text before display.
