Additional images... should they work like this?

[Alex Clarke]

I've just added two products to my site. The products model numbers and images are as follows.

Product 1

Model Number: 123-WHITE
Image: 123-white.jpg

Product 2

Model Number: 123-WHITE-RED
Image: 123-white-red.jpg

When viewing product 2 all is fine, but when I view product 1 the image from product 2 appears as an additional image!

I was under the impression that additional images worked should be named with _001 at the end.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

What you're seeing is correct behaviour. Adding suffixes like _001 is a convention not a requirement. Zen Cart simply looks at the base image for a product e.g. "123-white" and treats any other image that starts like this as an additional image.

Thanks for clearing that up kuroi.

I'll simply tweak my model numbers to work around this.
