Adding Additional Image Pages

[silverspring]

To see the file structure of your store, you need to log in to your site's control panel. CPanel and Plesk are two common ones; your host can tell you how to do this. The file manager in your control panel will allow you to work with the file/folder structure and set permissions. Note the filepath to your /images/ folder, e.g. /public_html/store/images/ or /public_html/images/.

oh well thats me stuffed .....my host either doesnt response to emails or takes ages
!
I've looked and looked in the Admin section for what you call the control panel - niks !


As for everything else you've said is totally beyond my pea brain !

Pity that when you add the image to a new product, there isnt a facility for sub images - would make it so easy !

so, I suppose I'll have to wait for my host to reply or for you or someone else to provide "simply" step by step instructions .....easy enough for me to follow.

Only your host can tell you what control panel you have - we can't. If permissions need to be changed, you'll have to wait for them. And the server control panel is not inside the ZC admin.

So, can you remember if your Zen Cart was installed in a subfolder or just in the root (base) of your domain? If you have to type "www.yourdomain.com/shop" or something, then it is in a subfolder. If you just type "www.yourdomain.com" it is in the root.

There is no way around getting an FTP program for maintaining your site in the future. Go to sourceforge.net and search for Filezilla.

There is a trick that you might be able to use to get your images uploaded through the product entry page. I haven't tried it so can't guarantee that it will work.

Products Image: [] (Browse) . Image Name: yourproduct01.jpg Upload to directory: []
Delete Image? NOTE: Removes Image from Product, Image is NOT removed from server: _No_ Yes

Overwrite Existing Image on Server? No _Yes_
Or, select an existing image file from server, filename:[]
########################################__

Browse to each image you want, leaving the rest of the boxes as default, and click preview and update.
Each time, you will be resetting what ZC thinks of as the main product image, but the previous ones (as long as the names are different) will stay on the server.
Upload your real main product image last, and then ZC will know to do what you want with the others as additional images.
