Additional thumbnails on product listing page

[Graphic Content]

HI there guys and gals,

I am developing a new t-shirt store for a client and we would like to display the additional thumbnails from the product page on the product listing page so that we can show the other colour options available.

I have been trying to add -

require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_modules_additional_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_additional_images.php'); 

from the product_info_display.php in the modules/product_listing.php file but can't seem to place it without breaking the page or causing the main product image to not display at all.

Could someone with a little more php knowledge please enlighten me on where to place this so that the thumbnails can sit in a row below the main image.

Thanks
Matt

OK... Ive gone thru it and I cant get it to work. May also be that I dont realy understand it?

Ive created under images a file called Tie_Downs_Basic. This is the name of the product. under that I have 3 pics, Randoms 320.jpg,Randoms 326.jpg and Randoms 340.jpg. In the product screen under admin I tiped the product image as Randoms 320.jpg and it still shows just the one image?

In most cases, there is no need to create a subfolder under /images/ for each product. Just put the main product image (Randoms_320.jpg in your case) in /images/, along with the additional image files. (Note: it is bad practice to have spaces in filenames - use an _ or - instead. Some programs don't like spaces in filenames.) Name the additional images like Randoms_320_1.jpg, Randoms_320_2.jpg, or Randoms_320_325.jpg, Randoms_320_340.jpg.
Since your base image is named Randoms_320, the additional images need to start with the same thing to be recognized.
Also, if you capitalize a filename, you MUST capitalize it the same way everywhere you use it. It is easier to remember if you just use lowercase in all filenames.

Maby I needed to install something first lol?

Ok I went and deleted the folder I made. Then deleted the images related to the product usinf FTP.
Then I uploaded a new image flower_001.jpg with admin to the main directory. I then With FTP transered Flower_002.jpg and Flower_003.jpg to the main directory. But still when I open the product only 1 pic shows. The Flower_001.jpg?
LOL Im confused?
