    I recently downloaded this template on zencart 155e. I really like the template. I cannot figure out how to add multi-able images to a items page because each item has multi-able color choices to choose from. In the past in our old site I would name them like; al, and al_orange, al_pink, ect. then put them in the image folder.
    Can I do that to this template?

    Also I cannot find the fix for our logo to work on a mobile device. I get the "Westminster New" logo

    Thanks in advance for any help

    After hours of trying I figured out the problems with additional images. I did not properly name the first image in the Product in Category page.

    I still have the problem with the logo on mobile devices.

    Is there a way to edit the Details Tab in each product.

    I would like to do that also. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I can make a custom tab but that would be Global.

    The Details tab now shows the manufacturer. To make it product specific you need a new field in the product description table and the user interface to enter data when entering new products. Sounds like an overkill for me :)

    It appears that the "details" tab is just a subsection of the usual details that can already be configured in the Admin for each product.
    In a template that doesn't have those "tabs", that information is shown below the main description. The "tabs" are just some javascript firing on some HTML <div> tags wrapped around the sections that would otherwise display vertically.
    So ... my point is: you already control all that content from the Admin.

    Now, if you want to add "more" content, then you have various options ... all involving custom coding, or merging other plugins, to create additional fields and additional admin screens to store the additional data that you desire to show.
    In practice, I often see most storeowners putting the essential data into the main product description, instead of adding unnecessary extra fields. It requires a re-thinking to put what's actually relevant to the buyer as the first content seen, and then accessory data later. It's part of the process of optimizing the data for search engines too. Usually no extra fields required ... unless your industry has some very specific reason for it, in which case, customizing for your industry makes sense (see available plugins which you can manually merge into your already-custom template ... which may require understanding some PHP code).

    Thanks for the reply. I will just leave the "details" tab alone and add to the description tab.
