Using multiple images per product

[Ajeh]

First, it looks like you have error(s) in the configure.php file in:
/includes/configure.php

as there are extra / in your URLs ...

Could you post, from the server, without the database username/password information, the file:
/includes/configure.php

hi there
im just wondering, i have image "sl24-125.jpg" then "sl24-125_001.jpg" and then "sl124-125_002.gif"

is it possible for the .gif to be shown as an additional image alongside the jpg's???

if so how??

You would need to to a lot of customization for that ...

The images are designed to work based on the base image name of the main image and the extension of the base image matching the Medium, Large, Additional and Additional Large images ...

[spid3r1987]

just be easier to insert the image into the product text?

Yes, if you want to use a gif as well as jpegs, it would be easiest to include the gif in the description.

Or use your graphic application and convert from gif to jpg

I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with the "Add to cart" button and the Social networking buttons getting caught underneath the multiple images? It is like the images are layered over those buttons.

I was able to add multiple product images but the placement was at the bottom of the product page just above the Add to Cart button. Were you able to figure out how to move multiple images up to top of product page?

You would need to edit /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move the whole code block for additional images to the position in the file that matches the sequence you want. Then you can use CSS in your stylesheet to fine-tune it.

If you're truly adding NEW product-types, then you'll need to go into the database and clone some of the existing switch settings and of course rename your cloned key names and then in all your PHP code that uses them you'll need to put those keys there instead of the original ones.

Look at some of the existing product-type contributions/plugins to see the myriad files that are involved and the database inserts that will be needed.


However, in the main, most people rarely need to create a new product-type. So, a better starting point here would be to understand what your goals are, and how you arrived at the idea of creating new product-types for whatever those goals are.
There could be an easier way to do what you're after.

Of course, that's a broader discussion that takes this forum thread way off its initial topic.
