more than one image for a product

[lazerweb]

Hello. Firstly let me say this is the coolest and smartest software I have seen in a long time. Well done Zen-cart! I have looked around the forum to find out the answer to this question - but to no avail. Is it possible to put more than one picture up per product - and if so, how do I do it? When I try to add a second picture, it replaces the original one!

Thanks for the tutorial. I am trying to do it in admin, where I upload

bear_01

and then update it with the update button. Then I go back into admin and upload

bear_02

I tick the box that says
Overwrite Existing Image on Server? NO (is that right?)

But it keeps replacing the image. I have put the images in the DVD directory via FTP. What am I doing wrong? Help!

You don't add extra images via admin, you upload them
directly via ftp

[lazerweb]

ok. I have uploaded both images via FTP to the CD directory. When I go to the product it still shows only one image. Am I missing something here? Sorry to be such a newbie on this!

In which directory is original image for this product installed?
If it is in /images, then you upload additional images to that directory.
NOT /images/cd or /images/dvd

[lazerweb]

ah, that might help. I'll check...

I have my images in /images folder on the main directory, but in the admin, the drop-down box does not have an option for /images. The closest is "Main Directory"

/images/ is the "main directory" for product images. That is where the small (thumbnail) images go. These are the root images that tell a product what other images belong to it. Load these in admin.

Large images go in /images/large/ and medium images go in /images/medium/.

Additional image thumbnails go in /images/ and large additional images go in /images/large/.

All of these are uploaded by ftp.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to move the additional product images to a different place (ie. under the first image) ?

Kind regards,
Anthony
