Additional image positioning

[jhoulston]

I hope someone can help me out with this.

I have managed to get an additional image to be displayed on a product page. Is there any way I can get the additional image(s) to be under the original instead of at the bottom of the page?

Many thanks,

James.

I have been looking for the answer myself and finally figured it out. Here is how I did it:

copy
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

to
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Edit /includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php with your favorite editor.

find this section:

<!--bof Additional Product Images -->
<?php
/**
* display the products additional images
*/
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_additional_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_additional_images.php'); ?>
<!--eof Additional Product Images -->

highlight the entire section, right click and select Cut.

Now find this section

<!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof Product description -->


<br class="clearBoth" />

Put your cursor at the end of <br class="clearBoth" /> and press "Enter"
Now paste the info from your clipboard (either CTRL+V or right click and paste)

That did it for me.

Fantastic, thanks for that.

I've been trying off & on for months to get additional images positioned in another way, and just found the key so thought I'd share it here.

I wanted images in a column on the left and text in a column on the right. I got the main image & text a long time ago, but additional images persisted in taking up the whole center column and pushing the text below. I thought I would have to edit tpl_columnar_display.php, but couldn't because it serves other functions too. I recently proved that it was the
<br class="clearBoth" />
at the end of it that was causing this, and figured a safe way to edit the file.
Add a test so the code is only skipped when used for the product info page:

<?php
      }
    }
?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php

<?php
      }
    }
if ($current_page_base != "product_info") { // gjh42 20070329 ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php }

There are other <br class="clearBoth" /> instances that need to be stripped from files for all the text to snug up next to the images, but they are in single-purpose files that can be edited straight. (Although php files shouldn't need to be edited to do css positioning like this... but that's just my pet peeve.)
