[kimberlyrae]

I have a catagory called Fabric Gallery
which I want at least 100 fabrics to show up (not for sale) it's just a gallery to choose from. is this possible in ZC?????
if so, HOW?

If you create your fabrics as "Document-General" product type, they will be for information only without purchasing links.

thank you. I will do that!
and how do I display al the fabrics? you know, link them??
do I have to just include a link to photobucket?
or can I provide all the photos 'somewhere' where??

Browse to the fabric's image when creating its "document".

Ah, so you're trying to have multiple fabric swatches in one document? There is a way to upload them all through the admin, but it is clumsy. The best way is to simply name them according to the "additional images" rules and ftp them to your /images/ folder.

How are you organizing these fabrics? How many per document?

Look in the tutorials for how do I add multiple images to a product. (Don't bother with the "/dvd/" mentioned; you can just use /images/ and /images/large/ for the additional images - same place as the originals are saved.)

Oh, and additional images won't have titles associated with them; only product attributes get that. You may need to save the images with text on or below the fabric picture if this matters.

After you've done it once, it gets very easy.
