Quick answer - you don't (not without a lot of work). ZC is not geared up to use product pictures from an external source - and you'll be really crippling yourself with regard to SEO with all the...

See Image Handler 2 in the Add-ons

Sorry Ted - that's incorrect. That's for CATEGORIES, not products.

What's needed here is the installation of the Column Layout (Grid Layout) module available from the downloads section.

Not true - ZC will display the image at the size set in admin. I THINK (but haven't time to check) that if you leave the settings blank, that the pic may show at the size it is (or it may not show at...

No - not without....


Either that, or do it directly to the database using phpMyAdmin and some sql commands (sorry, although I would mess around myself, I'm not confident enough on this to post...

Well you should do - images/[somedirectory]

The reason I (and others) ask for a url is that there's a range of tools we use to view the page from the simple View Source to Firefox and its various extensions.

It could be something as simple...

It's usually best with an image problem to post a url where we can see (or not see :D) what the problem is.

Yes.............

Well I'd recommend installing IH2 from the downloads section (NOT the author's site) and save yourself the extra work. On the other hand, if you create the extra sizes, they don't all have to be the...

And obviously skipped the post 5 or 6 back that asks a similar question and the response which suggests the ImageHandler2 mod. :laugh:

Still a fair way behind Image Handler though at 46k+ ... and that started later! :cool:

You don't need _SM
You haven't named the images correctly It certainly is. Read this

Thank You Gary[/QUOTE]

It may be something to do with the lightbox mod - I don't know because I've not had occasion to use it. I can't see how it can be anything to do with EP because your images are where they're supposed...

A bit tricky, Tricky, without an address! :wink2:

Thank you - and to thank me, when you're up and running, set up a regular donation to the ZenCart dev team (of which I am NOT a member! :D ) as a way of thanks to the whole community.

Thank you very much - bear in mind that if you use Image Handler, all you need worry about is creating a single good quality image at your largest size (I would recommend max width 750px or max...

In ZenCart - look up additional images!

You can have as many additional images as you want - it's built in to the system. Read up on image base name...and I think you may have been misled by the phrase "ZenMagic" which was coined by the...

Or you could install Image-Handler 2 which I believe allows you to use different file-types for different sizes - but check out the documentation first (http://www.breakmyzencart.com)

The small images go in images or images/fordracing

You must remember that you would normally upload the image via the product data entry page where you would say where you are uploading the image...

I have no problems with that combination of mods.

If you use the Swap Images on Mouseover then the MED versions of additional images ARE used.

It's OK now

If I were you, I'd install Image-Handler (get it from Tim's site at www.breakmyzencart.com) which will take 99% of the hassle out of uploading images and making sure they are in the right place...
...

I'd noticed that as well - that's why I was asking if the original image had made it to the originals/folder...

Actually, I may be a little of beam here - are you using Image-Handler or are you...

Have you tried uploading the images again? And when you have, check that the original is in images/originals

1. Default (NB the tutorial was written before the arrival of I-H)

2. For best results, set all the listing and small image settings to the same; the medium image is the one displayed on your...

Just to expand a little...

When you use the standard method you are only uploading the one image AS IT IS from your hard drive. ZenCart will display that image at the dimensions you declare in...

PS. Some may wonder why we keep asking for urls...well, apart from the old adage that "a picture paints a thousand words" there is a LOT of information we can gather by the use of right click, View...

Check that the image IS in the large folder, and check that the name is the same as that of the small; if you have not changed the default suffix ie _LRG, make sure you actually have the suffix!
...

url?

I'm not too sure exactly what your problem is ... do you mean you just want an image to show up on the front page as part of the general description of the site, or something else?

If the above,...

My pleasure. :)

If you have already uploaded all your images with the "old" mixture of thumb via Add/Edit Product and FTP for the medium and large then there's little point in re-doing everything...but there's no...

I would strongly recommend you use Tim's Image-Manager mod (see the link in the post above and be careful not to confuse it with an earlier contribution called ImageManager) if your store is in the...

With regard to db, you may want to take a look at the EasyPopulate mod in the download section (and check out the forum for info on it)

Like afo, I've not worked with doenloads, but I assume your download.zip(s) is/are your product(s).

So as you say,

1. FTP all MED & LRG to the appropriate folder.

2. Add/edit each product...

With regard to preparation, I am of the firm belief that the best results are achieved by doing ALL image editing before uploading, and saving the 3 variants at the dimensions you wish to use for...

Looks good - will it work with Firefox?

I'll be happy to help with beta-testing...mind you, I've got to sort out my HTMLarea problems first!!

At present, you have images/gunitsil1.jpg which has a physical size of 320x240 and a file size of 15.97KB

The sizes you presently have set for displaying small, medium and large (ie thumbnail,...

I've created a rough example for you here (it's also temporary whilst my client is on holiday!!) to give you an idea of what I mean.

Ignore most of the surroundings as this site is in the early...

Michelle, my reply is based on what I'd do, what I already know - and, not having used the multiple images option, I know NOTHING about them - and what I believe a site visitor wants.

Starting...

I've just had a quick look at your site Michelle (I hope you're not live yet as your sale prices are extremely generous!! :D ) and the obvious cause of slow loading is that most of your images are...

As far as I understand it, the thumbnails have no suffix, the product info pages uses MED and the "larger image" uses LRG and all are picked up automatically depending on the situation, but remember...

The one shop I've set up so far did not require multiple images per product and I skipped that! But I quite agree, and if no-one else has got around to it by the time I learn about it, I'll see what...

Thank you.

Hopefully it'll help a few ... the trouble is that anything like this does become very complicated to explain; for example, I've completely ducked the issue of base_name for multiple...

I've seen several posts where people obviously aren't quite sure about the best way to set up their images, so I thought I'd put this together, and if the team want to pin it/add it to FAQs/move it...
