[koidragon]

Hello,
I am new to zen cart and I am not a programmer, so I really need some help. I have read hundreds pages on this topic and I thought I was uploading my images correctly, but the image on the home page keeps showing up on the product detail page. Can someone please look at my site and let me know what I need to do to correct this. Any imput is welcome. Thank you

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.

Sorry i should have explained this better. I own a tee shirt company and on the home page I would like to show the oval image of the design. When you click on the image, you should see a swaure large image of a tee shirt with the design on it. The problem is that although I am uplaoding both images via my FTP, only the oval image of the design itslef shows on the home page and the product detail page. I cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Can you please asssist me. Let me know if you need more info. Thank you

The images in Zen Cart for the Products are designed on the a base image filename ...

Let's say I have a Widget and I want to have a small, medium, large image and then additional small and additional large images ...

First, images should not contain spaces and special characters ...

Example of a bad image:
calico cat.jpg

Example of a good image:
calicocat.jpg

The base image is used for all other images, the medium, which shows on the product _info page:
calicocat_MED.jpg

The large image, which shows when you click the medium image:
calicocat_LRG.jpg

The additional images small:
calicocat_01.jpg
calicocat_02.jpg
calicocat_03.jpg
calicocat_04.jpg
calicocat_05.jpg

The additional images large:
calicocat_01_LRG.jpg
calicocat_02_LRG.jpg
calicocat_03_LRG.jpg
calicocat_04_LRG.jpg
calicocat_05_LRG.jpg

I would load the base image (the small image) into either:
/images
/images/my_subdirectory

I would then make the large image, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/large
/images/large/my_subdirectory

I would then make the medium image, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/medium
/images/medium/my_subdirectory

I would load the additional small images into either:
/images
/images/my_subdirectory

I would then make the additional large images, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/large
/images/large/my_subdirectory

This allows me to have 3 images for the small, medium and large images where the images are either the same images in different sizes or different images in different sizes ...

The number of additional images are unlimited ...

NOTE: the base image is "owned" by the product ... this means anything that starts with calicocat and ends in .jpg is owned by this product ...

Using the numbers on the additional images is useful for sorting purposes on the display as the images will display in alpha numeric format ...

Hopefully this example further expands on the original post on the calicocat image explination and can help you on this ...
