Product images:" no_picture.gif"

[Tswift42]

When I upload products, I have images for some but not all products. Where there is no image zen puts in "no_picture.gif" as default. How do I turn this off. But I don't want this to affect the product with images.

Is this possible?

Thanks

In Admin
Configuration->Images->

Product Image - No Image picture

and

Product Image - No Image Status

should do the trick

Yes I thought it would but the picture is still showing up, I removed the no_picture.gif in Admin/configuration/images Status = 0 Product Image (I remove the no_picture.gif)

But the picture is still showing..

Any ideas

Thanks

No mate, you are not getting me

Do this
In

Product Image - No Image picture
Use automatic No Image when none is added to product
Default = no_picture.gif

Put Default=none

And let me know what happens

Yes, I understand, I changed it from no_picture.gif to none (and I tried leaving it blank). And the picture is still displayed..

Also I changed the status from 0 to 1, and 1 to 0 for testing. Picture still displayes

Well, It works for me
You are asking for the products for which image column in the database is empty. Right?
I tried with three products here and after making it to none( or some string for which image doesnt exists) it just doesnt shows.. anything the way you want
Can you try going to images folder and renaming this no_picture.gif to something else (though this is not a correct way of doing it but still)

My problem is when I upload my products I did not specify a pic during the up unless there was a picture associated with the product the I would add the file name to my cvs file.

Everything works great. With the exception that the files that have no picture Zen would by default attach "no_picture.gif" on all images that I did not attach a picture in my products.

So to solve this problem is to go to the admin\configuration\images, the 22nd to the last option is (Product Image - No Image Picture) you click on this and edit and take out no_picture.gif in the edit field..Right..Perfect..

Well this function does not work for me. But what it does do is when I upload another cvs file that has no image it does it's job and puts no image in the product list. Great.

But I have 1200 product that are now associated with no_picture.gif, and to save my life I can't get it removed.

I have tried reloading the cvs file with again no image association and the no_picture is showing up under that product.

So to PhPadmin I go, and found the location to the product files. But to remove all this in PhP I would have to do it by hand...

So question, is this a BUG...

And can some one assist me creating a query that would remove everything associated with no-picture.gif...

I would appriciate it very much...


FYI deleting the no_picture.gif from the images folder does not fix the problem. The file association is still there, and it seems hard coded...

So ... if there's no picture associated, what do you want Zen Cart to do?
Keep in mind that product images are used in many places:
- product listings
- sideboxes
- product-detail pages
- shopping cart
- etc

If there's no picture, what do you want instead?

[wizardman]

Why not replace the no-picture.gif file with a blank gif file with the same name that matches with your background color?

If you're saying that many of your products have "no_picture.gif" IN THE DATABASE as the contents of the products_image field, then you could wipe that out by running the following SQL query via phpMyAdmin:

update products set products_image='' where products_image='no_picture.gif';

Note: that '' is two single quotes...
