Using multiple images per product

[cploonker]

For those who don't want to do FTP etc.

Let us say the base image of the product is called xyz.jpg

Name the other images of the same product as xyz_01.jpg, xyz_02.jpg, xyz_03.jpg etc. in the sequence in which you want them to appear. For larger image of any image the name should be xyz_LRG.jpg, xyz_01_LRG.jpg etc.
etc.

Now go into the product edit page and upload one image at a time. Make sure that the Base image (xyz.jpg) is uploaded the last. Other images can be loaded in any sequence.

You can load the same image multiple times with no harmful impact. Make sure that you end the uploading process with the base image. Even if you have already loaded the base image earlier you need to upload it again at the end.

FINALLY! Something that makes sense & works! Thank you!

I have a range of products that are based around the same name:

105/850 LW
105/850 LW CNC
105/805 LW Photo

The page for the first item is showing two extra images at the bottom; one is the LW CNC and the other LW Photo.

Now, as much as they are very similar they are not the same.

How do I stop this happening without going in and renaming all examples of products that exhibit this naming structure (there are a lot though not all are showing multiple images - something to do with how I uploaded them perhaps).

Thanks.

your hosting company should have given you ftp details

you can download free ftp software like filezilla (get the client version), then you would just upload the correctly named images to your zencart /images/ folder

what do you mean by correctly named images.can't i name them what i want like doll.jpg doll_1.jpg doll_2.jpg?

[gjh42]

"Correctly named" means that the aditional images need to have names based on the main image name. The main image can be anything. So a main image doll.jpg could have additional images doll_1.jpg and doll_2.jpg. But you need to make the main image names all distinct from each other. dollbaby.jpg would be seen as another additional image for doll.jpg, no matter what you intended.
But dollbaby.jpg would be distinct from dolls.jpg, because dollbaby does not begin with dolls.
