Default 4.2 -- Would like thumbnails of detailed images under product image

Hello all,

I am finally almost done customizing my store and have one category I need to make a few changes to, I got the {if} statement setup right in my product.tpl file so I am all good there.

What I need to do in this category is have the detailed images that I give that product show up as thumbnails under the product image instead. Then I would like it so that the user can switch the images, either by clicking them or rolling-over-them with the mouse (unless that is a lot more work).

So does anyone know how I should go about doing this?

I will then obviously take out the displaying of the detailed images at the bottom of the page.

Thanks

Nick

I figured it would be best if I showed an example of what I am trying to do...

Here is an example of a normal product, which as you can see looks very good with our 480px wide images. We wanted to do it this way as to not need to use a thumbnail sized image and make the user click as for most of these parts a medium sized picture would suffice enough for them knowing if this is the right part, so we decided to make that the product image and save them all the extra clicks...

This means I want to keep that size image as the main, but can not use the detailed images in its default condition .. plus I have to make some layout changes to my left margin (basically remove it) and set my details to flow underneath the images, not just to the right of it...

Here is the first product I added to the category...you will see why I need to change it so much!!!
