Using multiple images per product

[OKSoda]

Unfortunately, this is not working for me. When follow the direction below, it only replaces the image and additional images are not showing.

My site was working before the upgrade to 1.3.9h.

Is there a module where I can just install and get this working?

Any other suggestions?

Same issue here. I've been at this half a day with no joy.

Thanks.

If you follow the instructions mentioned exactly, it will absolutely work (unless your template does not allow additional images to display, or you have additional images turned off in Catalog > Product Types > Product-General > edit layout > Show Product Additional Images). So we need to know exactly what you did (file names, folder locations, link to see product...)

Yes, you were right. There was a problem with my template and even ftp upload didn't work. I needed a programmer's help and now fixed. Thanks.

Hello, people :)

Could anybody help me to make the following:

I using the colorbox for displaying larger images & slideshow when the product has multiply images.

I want to remove "additional images" thumbnails from the product page, but save the ability to show multiply images (as slideshow) via clicking on the main image (so the module "additional images" that finds and forms array of additional images for product should still work, but just not show itself or thumbnails on the product page). It saves space and w/o it the idea of slideshow is slightly corrupted.

I tried to play with constants in additional_images.php but haven't get any success.
Also tried to remove the block that showing the additional images from tpl_product_info_display.php and that not helps to. Because this way the additional images feel em like "disabled" and images array not forming and no slideshow is displaying - only single main image.

Thanks!

You need to tell us in more detail what "colorbox" is and where we can look at its code, if we are to have any hope of advising you on this. Seeing your site live will also help, as will knowing all modifications you have to image display or handling.

Okay, I found the Colorbox mod in Free Addons. Have you looked for its support thread? It should have one.

I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with the "Add to cart" button and the Social networking buttons getting caught underneath the multiple images? It is like the images are layered over those buttons.

Can we see the site where this is happening?

Finally, I tryed to make it through editing php files, but it were too hard and useless, because I found much more simple way to make what I have to.

Colorbox - doesn't depend on version, etc. They works similar. The version is last available from the official site of this fine java script.

The solution (if anybody want to use the scripts like Colorbox or other that shows the slideshow with all linked product images) to hide additional images, that appears at the bottom of the product description and the "add to cart" box is very simple!

the CSS have simple feature to hide any element on any page just by adding "display: none" to the desired class.
I set this for the "additional images" class in the main CSS file, because I don't want additional images display as thumbnails anywere, I using colorbox, that starts slideshow in fine looking overlay window, or just displays single image, if there are no aditional images.

If anybody want to look it like I described and want to remove the additional images thumbnails while using the colorbox or similar script, you should modify yours main CSS file for the template you are currently use in the following way:

#productAdditionalImages {display:none;}

that's all

[gjh42]

That's a common technique for hiding some element without editing PHP code. In some cases, it is a bad idea because it doesn't stop the processing, so pages may take longer than they need to load. If the processing is needed for the alternate Colorbox display to work, display: none; seems justified.

It should also be possible to just comment out the code that actually displays the images without affecting array generation.

Same issue with multiple images. I have read the forum and have checked all the items.
