Using multiple images per product

[Sc0tt]

Search for images/medium ...

Lots and lots of long stories on how to manage images for small, medum, large, additional and extra additional ...

You load 1 in the Admin ... you FTP all the rest ... 'tis magic ...

Love this reply. the magic part is awesome. Anyhow, I got it using IH for v1.3. Have a look. It's got some doing left to go, but I'm getting my head more and more around ZC.

For those who don't want to do FTP etc.

Let us say the base image of the product is called xyz.jpg

Name the other images of the same product as xyz_01.jpg, xyz_02.jpg, xyz_03.jpg etc. in the sequence in which you want them to appear. For larger image of any image the name should be xyz_LRG.jpg, xyz_01_LRG.jpg etc.
etc.

Now go into the product edit page and upload one image at a time. Make sure that the Base image (xyz.jpg) is uploaded the last. Other images can be loaded in any sequence.

You can load the same image multiple times with no harmful impact. Make sure that you end the uploading process with the base image. Even if you have already loaded the base image earlier you need to upload it again at the end.

FINALLY! Something that makes sense & works! Thank you!

I have a range of products that are based around the same name:

105/850 LW
105/850 LW CNC
105/805 LW Photo

The page for the first item is showing two extra images at the bottom; one is the LW CNC and the other LW Photo.

Now, as much as they are very similar they are not the same.

How do I stop this happening without going in and renaming all examples of products that exhibit this naming structure (there are a lot though not all are showing multiple images - something to do with how I uploaded them perhaps).

Thanks.

your hosting company should have given you ftp details

you can download free ftp software like filezilla (get the client version), then you would just upload the correctly named images to your zencart /images/ folder
