Add Text Heading Above Additional Images

[kuroi]

I suggest that you take a look at the tpl_modules_additional_images.php template. It's very short and easy to understand and if you insert your text inside the IF statement, it will only show when additional images exist and are being displayed.

Even better there's already a variable $num_images available to you so that you could use singular text when there's only one image or plural text if there are several.

Thank you so much. I suspected that was the file, but I was afraid to break it. I guess I shouldn't be so shy since I am using overrides in my custom template and I could always revert back in a disaster. So anyway, here is what I did:

Just under the div tag with the productAdditionalImages class, I included a break tag and my text "Additional views of this product:" (without quotes).

I made this edit only to my custom copy in my custom template directory.
It is only displaying for products that actually do have additional images.
Piece of cake!

<h4>Additional Views</h4>
<div id="productAdditionalImages">
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_columnar_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_columnar_display.php'); ?>
</div>

Is there any way we might be able to assign different text to the heading based on different categories? For example, one category would say "Available Textures" and another would say "Available Colors." How would one go about this?

You can check the value of $_GET['cPath'] against a list of category paths and output the corresponding text for whatever matches. You can get as fancy as you like with this.

Or you could use attribute images instead of additional images to display your textures and colors - what you're describing is exactly what they're there for.
