I have them on my desktop...choose which will be first and give it the name_01.jpg, then follow it with the others I want to appear in order...upload the set to the server and just insert the main one via the IH2 panel...they all appear and are in the order I want.

DarkAngel, that is true and I do that but sometimes I like to change my mind after I see them up

Still IH2 is great addon and it's one I cannot live without.

Since IH2 auto names images based on Zen Cart requirements for additional images I'm fairly certain that adding in the ability to reorder (rename) the images is a pretty heft change.. Dunno this for sure, but based on my experience I'm fairly certain that it's no small change.. Who knows, maybe someone will take this on and add it as a future feature..

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but what size images should I be using for small, medium and large?

I'm surprised that I can't find posts about the default IH upload directory. Doesn't anyone wonder about being able to specify?

Can we define it? I want to use a subdirectory (Images .. subdir) for all uploads I do with IH. Can we set it somewhere or does it have to be a code change. If code, which file do you think? Thanks.

The default directory can be specified if you upload the initial product image via IH2 (in other words you would create the product with NO image when you first create it and then use IH2 to upload the primary and additional product images)

Otherwise you specify the product image directory when you create the product and upload the initial product image. (the directory must exist for it to be available in the image directories -- Zen Cart assumes that this will be a sub directory of the "images" directory) After that IH2 saves all your additional images to the same location that you specified for your primary product image..

this is true...I rename my inages with the _01 or whatever number they need for the additional ones

then i place them into a folder without the main picture...then upload it to the spot we need it to be.

I have many vendors so I put the folder in the images foler/vendor name folder/product folder and enter that path into the place when selecting the main image from my computer....promos/vendor/product/

this way all vendor images are in one spot

the previously uploaded images will automatically appear when the main one is added

hope that doisn't confuse you

Now that I've got the additional images for my product, is there any way to indicate to the person shopping the site, looking at the subcategory page, that a product has more images? I'd like to put a short line of text like "More Pictures" or "More Colors Available" under the main product image on the subcategory page if there are additional images.

I've been playing around with statements like

PHP Code:

---

if ($num_images > 0) echo ('<p>More Images</p>');

Honestly the way Zen Cart handles additional images is not altered at all by IH2 so this isn't as much of an IH2 question as it is a GENERAL Zen Cart question..:smile: I suggest posting this in the appropriate place on the forum for such questions if you'd like to get assistance with how to execute this..

I agree with you... sadly my thread in that section hasn't generated any ideas. I thought I'd post here in case any of the multiple image people congregating here had solved a similar issue.
