    Default Re: Additional Images pull from other database field?

    Whoops, I didn't see your other post.

    This is the scenario. We use ChannelAdvisor to manage our ebay listings. We use Photobucket to store our images. We have thousands of listings already in the system and put up about 100 new ones every week. Photobucket names our images for us. Channeladvisor lets us download a csv that we then reformat to upload to ZC. The 10 image fields in the csv as well as the image names are provided for us and do not have anything in common with the product number other than being on the same line. Associating the 1st image "products_image" is not a problem because ZC associates it with the product number in the database.

    I need ZC to associate 10 images with uncommon names with a single product number.

    Renaming the images is not practical for us on a daily basis.

    With the flurry of activity and amount of time and energy you've been spending on this topic in the last couple weeks, I might suggest you post an ad in the Commercial Help Wanted area to have someone bid on doing the custom coding requirements you need. And then after the hired work has been completed, consider sharing the finished product back with the community so others can benefit from it too.

    Since you do need to do some new coding, the file to hook into is /includes/modules/your_template/additional_images.php, as I mentioned first. If you don't have the PHP/MySQL knowledge to adapt approaches from other files, you should go straight to Commercial Help Wanted. If you do, start looking and post back with your findings for advice.
