Usage
Link Orbitvu presentations from ORBITVU CLOUD to Magento products on the product edit page, choose which presentation items are shown and in which order, and copy them to the native Magento images.
Linking presentations to products
In Catalog → Products the column Orbitvu Cloud shows the thumbnail of the presentation linked to each product.
Edit a product and open the Orbitvu Cloud section. When no presentation is linked, it lists the presentations of your ORBITVU CLOUD account. You can search them by name or SKU and sort them by date, SKU or name.
Click Link on a presentation to link it to the product. With Multi Linking enabled, more than one presentation can be linked to a product.
Presentations can also be linked automatically by SKU, see Batch operations.
Managing presentation items
After linking, the section shows the linked presentation and its items. The items are shown in the product page gallery, together with the native Magento images.
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Unlink the presentation | Removes the link between the presentation and the product. The presentation stays in ORBITVU CLOUD. |
| Update SKU on SUN | Sets the SKU of the product as the SKU of the presentation in ORBITVU CLOUD. |
| Synchronize with SUN | Reads the presentation from ORBITVU CLOUD again: adds new items, removes deleted ones and updates changed thumbnails. |
| Edit on SUN | Opens the presentation in ORBITVU CLOUD. |
| Activate all items / Deactivate all items | Shows or hides all items of the presentation in the product gallery. |
| Deactivate item / Activate item (eye icon of an item) | Shows or hides one item. |
| Move item (arrows icon) | Drag and drop the item to change its position in the gallery. |
| Copy to original images | Copies a 2D image to the native Magento images of the product (for a 360° presentation: one frame of it). The copied 2D item is then hidden in the Orbitvu gallery, so the image is not shown twice. |
While the plugin is connected to the demo account, Update SKU on SUN and Edit on SUN are disabled.
Copied images are regular Magento product images, so other extensions (for example product feeds) can use them. The setting Images 2D Copy Settings can copy them automatically when a presentation is linked, see Plugin settings.
Configurable products
Link a presentation to each variant (the simple products of a configurable product), and, if you want, another one to the configurable product itself. On the product page, choosing a variant (for example a colour) shows the media of that variant, including its Orbitvu presentation. This works in the Luma and in the Hyvä theme.
When a presentation is linked to a configurable product, its section also has a button that assigns the first Orbitvu thumbnail to the variants that have no images.
