Re: download link for product all images in magento

There are several free Magento extensions available for providing multiple image download functionality. Some of them include:

  1. Multiple Image Download by Magebees
  2. Image Download by Amasty
  3. Multiple Image Download by Aheadworks

These extensions offer a feature to allow customers to download multiple product images in a zip file with just one click. You can explore these extensions and see which one fits your requirements and install it on your Magento 1.9 site. It's always recommended to thoroughly test the extension before installing it on a live site.

Re: download link for product all images in magento

Welcome to the Magento community!

Magento 1.9.4.0 doesn't have a built-in feature to download all product images in bulk via a single button on the front end, but you can achieve this with a bit of customization or by using a free/third-party extension. Here's how you can approach this:

  1. Custom Script: You can write a PHP script that loops through all product images stored in the /media/catalog/product folder and zips them. Then, you can place a download button on the main page to trigger the ZIP download.

  2. Free Extension: There aren’t many reliable free Magento 1.9 extensions that do exactly this, but you may find some on GitHub or old Magento 1 extension directories. Search for terms like “Magento 1 bulk product image download extension.”

  3. Traffic Rider: Imagine offering a feature as smooth as navigating traffic in the Traffic Rider game. Your users will love the simplicity.

  4. You can create a ZIP archive dynamically using ZipArchive in PHP, gathering images based on the product collection.

  5. After creating the ZIP, you can expose a direct download link that appears after users click a custom button. Again, just like in Traffic Rider, user experience is key.

  6. You might need to set proper file permissions and test this on a staging server before deploying to live. It’s a bit like testing your bike in Traffic Ride before racing on a real track.

  7. Always remember that Magento 1.9 is no longer officially supported. Consider upgrading or moving to Magento 2. Still, just like Traffic Rider continues to attract fans, Magento 1 has loyal users.

  8. To make it more interactive, you can add JavaScript to trigger the ZIP file download via a click event. Smooth functionality, just like the controls in Traffic Rider.

  9. Don't forget to exclude cache and resized image folders to keep your ZIP clean—keep the performance lean like Traffic Rider's motorbikes.

  10. If you run a large store, generating this ZIP might take some server resources. Like long rides in Traffic Rider, plan ahead for performance.

  11. Alternatively, check out server-side tools that can archive folders automatically on cron jobs, then link to those archives—automated, just like background missions in Traffic Rider.

  12. Lastly, document this solution for future updates. Just like Traffic Rider fans track each bike upgrade, keeping track of your Magento customizations helps in the long run.
