Multiple Images with Easy Populate

[NBordeau]

Hello,

Is it possible to upload multiple images to each product using easy populate?

Thanks,
Nick

There is no need to use anything to define additional images.

If you look in the tutorials and / or search the forum you will find that Zen has a built in way of adding additional images to products using the naming of the images to associate them.

If you have a couch and you want to show 3 angles of the couch on your site you would simply name the images couch , couch_01 and couch_02 and you will see that all three show up.

Thank You,

So using Easy Populate and naming the default image to Table, then adding table_01, and table_02 to the same directory will result in having three images for the table product?

Read what Tina says...

Easy Populate does NOT upload images. It only uploads DATA to the database.

The image name you see in Easy populate is just a LABEL, storing the image NAME in the database, so that the program files know what to look for regarding images.

The image FILES are best loaded via FTP if you are loading a lot of them, or when you add/edit a product manually, you use the BROWSE-UPLOAD function.

But Easy Populate has NOTHING to do with adding images to your site... all it does is create a reference in the database.

The procedure is correct... but in your case it won't work - because your main image is :

Table

and your additional images are

table

Image names should all be lower case, no spaces or special characters.
