    Default Multiple images per product listing?

    What are some good modules to use that will allow me to have multiple images per listing that will be compatible with addons that allow me to stock inventory by attribute (sizes)?

    Are there any good basic overhauls that make the whole control panel more efficient?

    The two biggest challenges is listing by attributes and offering multiple images instead of just 1 per item.....shouldnt this be default?

    1. Answered in your other post.

    2. No.

    3. It is, in the product info page - it's called 'additional images'.

    For some reason I am not subscribed to another thread with the answer to that question. Do you have a link to either the thread or the module?

    That was asking if there was a module to 'List by attribute', which is DIFFERENT from 'multiple IMAGES per listing'. I know it sounded kind of similar, but totally different.

    Any idea's for adding more IMAGES to the same listing? I do appreciate helping me with ability to stock by inventory, but thats something different.

    So it requires web design skill just to add multiple images per listing?

    That is extremely impractical, since the admin is not necessarily the designer and is not going to have the designer make all the listings necessarily.

    The ability to show multiple stock photos should really be standard. This solution is unsatisfactory. Are there any mods anywhere that make this as easy as uploading an additional image with a graphical uploader?

    What web design skills? Do you mean using an FTP program? If you are really opposed to having the admin use or learn to use something like Filezilla, it is possible to upload all of the images through the product editing page. Select each additional file you want to show, preview and save each time, and finish by selecting the base/thumbnail image. The last image selected in this way will be treated as the base image.

    You may want to look at Image Handler 2, which automates resizing images and I understand simplifies uploading additional images (I haven't used it). If the admin can't be burdened with using FTP, surely they won't want to use Photoshop to make correctly-sized small, medium and large versions of the images.

    I can use Filezilla.....Im the admin, not anything close to a web desinger. This is my shop and I dont even know much HTML or any stylesheets.

    However, I can use photoshop and Gimp fairly well, but I would rather not have to make each image an exact number of pixils.....that is a real pain in the ######. Yes, I can do it, but its cumbersome. Its not an efficient way to add a second or third stock photo, which should be a standard option, like almost any other shopping cart or even craigslist.

    I have in the past loaded images with filezilla, but this is sounding a little complex for me.....Im not a web designer, so something obvious to you might not be. I have a degree in Health Sciences/Human Physiology, and stuff that is obvious to me might not be to you......Im not lazy or unintelligent if I dont care for these difficult workarounds.......Sure, it sounds possible, but when you are listings HUNDREDS of items and its already taking at least a month to upload and customize everything, little things like this can be a real pain in the ######.


    Is it possible to enable HTML, and I could just use [img][/img] to add addition photos from a hosted image gallery? That sounds a whole lot easier than logging into my account with filezilla and trying to search for or hand type out the location to upload an image, tricking it into thinking its part of the same image or something.....yikes.

    That should be a future module. In fact, multiple images should really be standard, not an addon, imo.


    Deep breath.....

    I appreciate that you create this free software. You saved me a lot of money, though sometimes I wonder if I should have spent a little extra for something more efficient and equally powerful.....but I do appreciate it, and its totally decent for free software.

    Is it possible to enable HTML in the items description to provide an easy way to embed images?
