Cannot add attribute to upload image

[mc12345678]

have you created an option value to go with that option name?

Psst, its a file option name type... there isn't an option value associated...

I have attempted to remove the model number, quantity available, weight, and date product added from the product description

have you gone to admin > catalog > product types > products general and edited there to turn those items off?

I should probably go read the docs again myself as it has been years since I have had to do a file attribute type

No option values for file or text. Both of those require customer generated content. (both technically get text entered, but a file has a little "more".)

I cannot add option values to anything except my dropdown boxes...at least not that I can find. The text boxes and option to upload an image don't even show up on the option value page.

THANK YOU! I turned that off everywhere I could find! Well, that fixes one of my issues! :-)

Ok, so please don't take this wrong or try to read into my questions. We're all trying to help and trying to understand how this issue came to be.

For starters, I just tested my mostly plain version of Zen Cart 1.5.7 with demo product. I was able to add an existing attribute that was designated as a file to a product and I was able to create a new one to do the same. So, in my localized/current experience, the general operation of ZC 1.5.7c is good.

So, in the OP, it was stated that this was a "clean install". To what extent has this additional information been added? Was a database imported? Were product added manually or by some other process?

If data was imported/transferred from an existing or previous site, please explain the process used and methods. The better understood, the easier to identify what the issue is. I have some preconceptions, but don't want to go down that path without some additional info. Part of that also is, are you seeing on the catalog side information that is being entered/updated from the admin? I didn't quite get a feeling one way or the other from the last post. Also, let me say that I don't think that the problems being experienced on the admin side are a result of the catalog template... I haven't used it yet, but I also haven't heard of the same issues as a result of using it. :)

I appreciate everything trying to assist! I started completely over, new install, new database, and I have been adding products manually. Nothing has been imported.

The warning on the export page is a mysql error, which you should be able to find in a log file which will tell you what fault you have

Thanks...I will see what i can find.
