Using 1 picture for a lot of products.

[greatgap]

I would like to use the same picture for all the products in a category but I don't want to individually set each of them.

There's several ways this can be done two of which include: A sql statement can be run against all product that have a master_categories_id for your desired category. You could get familiar with a mass import/export utility that would support applying such a change.

Can you explain the reason for doing this? You may be getting yourself banned by google for duplication.

It's my experience when seeing this that attributes would be the better way to go if you are separating items out by size, qty, etc.

Having several products with just the difference of small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, and xxx-large would be better off as one listing with the customer selecting a size from an attribute drop-down.

The more the items with the same image are alike, the more likely the SE penalization.

We have hundreds of products on our page and it would be really hard and time consuming if we had to take a individual picture of each one. So we would like to have generalized pictures.

What is the "category ID" value for the products and what is the name of the image to be assigned?

Air Cylinders , Air.jpg

And what is the "categories_id" numeric value associated with that category?

And what is the "categories_id" numeric value associated with that category?

I believe its 1 if its more than a one digit code please tell me where to find it.

When you navigate to your admin's Catalog->Categories/Products, it's the ID value (a number) that is displayed next to the Air Cylinders category.

there doesn't seem to be a category file in my catalog file.
