Can attributes have images?

[terrykiwi]

I see that you can insert an image for an attribute in the attributes controller, but where do those images display on the website?

I have a drop down list for certain attributes, but nowhere do I see the image I uploaded for the attribute.

Thanks.

You first associate the attribute with a PRODUCT, then link the image to the product's attribute.

Why is this so?

Let's say you have

Attribute Name: Colour
Attribute Options: Green, Red, Blue

But the shade of BLUE for product "A" is darker than the shade of BLUE for product "B".

You still want to apply the attribute COLOUR to both products, but the swatch (image) you attach to product A attribute will be different from the swatch for product B attribute.

T,
Most images associated with Attributes, use the radio button.

A link to the site would help on the page you are asking about..

What is the image name??? EX: shirt.jpg

1. if you use shirt.JPG
2. you will not see the image
3. check to see if the image is in:
4. root directory/ images/ attributes

That worked - thanks.

hi there,
just learning the whole zen cart thing as i go - helping an ngo in northern thailand to set up an online shop... anyway, my question is:

i've got the images showing with the options, no worries. what i would like to do is get them resized automatically to a specified width/height, as they currently size at 100%. is this possible? where do i go to do it? ta :)
