multiple product previews

[Cheryl McCain]

I know there's a way to have more than 1 preview for each product but don't know how to make that happen.
What do I need to do to allow at least 3 previews of a product?
THANKS!!

If you are refering to the product display page, and additional images that you want to display. You would add the additional images by naming in order with a suffix.
i.e.

picture.jpg = orignial image
picture_1.jpg = 1st additonal image
picture_2.jpg = 2nd additional image
and so forth

Place these images in the same folder as the original images

If this is not what you seek post back with additional information

Doing a search on:
images/medium

will result in a number of posts detailing how additional images work in Zen Cart ...

Thanks for your quick response. I have put the additional previews in the images folder along with the 1st preview.
They are named like this: image_prv, image_prv1, image_prv2
They showed up as multiple previews in my old store but now they aren't.
Isn't there somplace in admin or some file I need to edit to tell the store to see these additional previews?

The default is on as far as I am aware of but you can check it here: admin > catalog > product types > general > then select edit layout > and check > Show Product Additional Images is set to "1".

You might also check admin > configuration > Images > Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row > that it is set to the # of additional images you want to display.

Another lazy way would be to do an <img src= within the description of the item.

Thanks for the help. Everything was set correctly in Admin. I found that the problem was the naming of the extra previews. They show up if the first preview is named ???.preview, ???.prv, then the corresponding previews need to be named ???.preview1, ???.prev1 and so on. If they had a "0" as in ???prv.01, .02, they weren't showing up.
Fixed now. Thanks!
