HOW-TO: Image Preparation

[discoverytdi]

I'm having a problem with unwanted images on my product pages, I think the problem stems from the fact that all my products are based on just 3 main components see below

40 watt solar panel
40 watt solar panel and controller
40 watt solar panel and dual controller

40 watt free standing solar panel
40 watt free standing solar panel and controller
40 watt free standing solar panel and dual controller

and so on duplicated for the different size of panel so the next sizes would be 60 watt then 80 watt. Would I be better of using the product numbers as the file names rather that the product description or would I still get duplicate images.

by the way I've remove all the images for now as it was driving me nuts trying to solve it as I was getting all images that started with 40watt for instance on every product in the 40 watt range

You need to re-think your image names..

The Zen Cart FAQs are your friend.. These articles will explain how additional image work in Zen Cart..

thanks think I've sorted it I've just left the file names my camera created ie 100_1034.jpg, yes there are no descriptions in those names but it's not really a problem for me as my inventory is based on just 3 base products. and I can find any image I need with the thumbnails in file manager during upload.

A better solution which I _think_ is widely adobpted is simply using your product model numbers or SKUs + an abreviated description. I'd also suggest not straying from 8.3 filenames.

Your question is off topic for this thread (which is regarding image preparation/optimization). I suggest creating a new thread in the forum and ask your question there..

Hello, I'm using Zen v.1.5.0

Having problems with pop-up. Here's the changes settings I've made in my file:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
function popupWindow(url) {
  window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=600,height=2000,screenX=250,screenY=250,top=250,left=250')
}
function popupWindowPrice(url) {
  window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=600,height=400,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,left=150')
}
//--></script> 

Here's my website: http://shopforhealthandbeauty.co.uk/...&products_id=2

If you click on the image, it does display the _LRG image correctly, but the pop-up window looks weird. Whats up with the margin on top and left? And I still have to drag the window to see the full image. What am I doing wrong?

Your question is off topic for this thread.. Your question is regarding issues with the pop-up window, and this thread is regarding image preparation/optimization. (See page 1 of this thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...70&postcount=1)

I suggest creating a new thread in the forum and ask your question there..

I took all the info regarding the pop-up from this thread. This is the quote from the first post:

As mentioned earlier, you can’t set the dimensions of the large image in ZC – not in 1.2.1d anyway – but it will display at the dimensions you upload it, although you may have to tweak the javascript file for the pop-up window to open at the size you want. The file you need to edit is /includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_main.php. In the function popupWindow(url) change width= and height= to your sizes. (You can also decide whether or not you want scrollbars by setting scrollbars=no or scrollbars=yes.) Then save the file to includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/pages/product_info/

If you read ALL the posts in this thread, like I did all morning today, you'd see a lot of people discussing large image pop-up. It has been discussed here extensively. So, on the subject - anyone?

The fact that other people conducted a similar off topic discussion on this thread doesn't make your post any more ON TOPIC..
But you carry on.
