Additional images

Hi,

I am trying to get my product info pages together and now trying to put images for each product. Unfortunately site is not live yet so I will try to describe as much as I can. I have read through tutorials and some threads and want to ask if I do everything correctly:

--I have image called bag.jpg it is located in handbags/leather dir I am choosing it in admin as a image for my product...
--Now I have another image bag1.jpg in the same dir handbags/leather and want to see it as additional image
--there is an image bag_MED.jpg in medium/handbags/leather which is exactly same as bag.jpg
--and I have some large images: bag_1_LRG.jpg, bag_fd_LRG.jpg that I wish to see as additional as well.
When I open my product info page in my shop I see only bag.jpg as a main one and additional image same as bag.jpg...

According to one of the tutorials, the main image on the product info page is the bag_MED.jpg. Then Did I declare it correct in admin that my image is bag.jpg which is located in handbags/leather dir or do i need to choose bag_MED.jpg as a main?

Why I can see other images?Did I miss anything during this process?

Hope that someone can help me:frusty:

I meant why I do not see other images the large ones and bag_1.jpg?

image called bag.jpg it is located in handbags/leather dir
another image bag1.jpg in the same dir handbags/leather and want to see it as additional image

So you have /images/handbags/leather/bag.jpg?
Since this is in a subfolder instead of the main /images/ folder, you need to always use the _ to denote additional images.
You should then have /images/handbags/leather/bag_1.jpg
and /images/medium/handbags/leather/bag_MED.jpg
and /images/large/handbags/leather/bag_LRG.jpg, bag_1_LRG.jpg...

Upper/lowercase matters, as well as the _.

Thank u very much for your answer. I have changed bag1 to bag_1 and it is still not working:-(hmmm,may I ask a bit stupid uestion(sorry,as I said I have read all the tutes,but still can't get it right):do I have to have in large and medium folders EXACTLY SAME images as bag and bag1 just bigger sizes or can I have totally different images and these images are not presented in images/handbags/leather/ folder?

Thanks one more time:oops:

started to see image bag1 but still have the same question about large and medium images :do I have to have in large and medium folders EXACTLY SAME images as bag and bag1 just bigger sizes or can I have totally different images and these images are not presented in images/handbags/leather/ folder?

TIA

And one more thing I wanted to clarify...In one of the tute is said:
NOTE: There is ONLY ONE ( 1 ) Medium Image used per Product on the Product Info page: (pages named product_info, product_music_info etc.) The naming is related directly to the original image.

Does it mean that I ahve to set this medium image as a main in admin?And can there be only one med image per product?

Just created another product ...Let's call it phone.jpg in dir images/phones, I put it in admin as main image. there are 2 additional images in the same dir named:phone_1.jpg and phone_2.jpg. on the product info page i see only main phone.jpg. I do not have a clue why it is so...I thought that there are should be 2 more images displayed...

I would like to ask anyone who can find some time to write step by step how u add images to your products...(lets say 3 images, one main and 2 additional) because I am completely lost or do not undestand the concept of how it works in zen cart... When I just add main image in admin and the rest are just in the same folder with the same name and numbers added to their names, I do not see them. But when I add them one by one in admin adn then chnge back to my main image I start seeing them all in info page. I can't get if I have to add each and every image like this?...Please help me to understand the idea. Help will be very appreciated:-)

What is your setting for Catalog > Product Types > Product-General > edit layout > Show Product Additional Images?

You should not have to add each one through admin; if that is the only way it works for you, there is something wrong with the way they are being uploaded in the standard method.

Hi ,thanks for your reply...The setting there is one. I have checked it before...I am currently working on localhost, so can't show my site. Is there anything special with uploading images? or I just paste them in my folder and that is it?

In this tutorial (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58) it is said :
From the Admin, you edit a product and specify an image file called:
a_bugs_life.gif
and put it in the
/images/dvd directory via the drop down.

Now you use your FTP program to upload additional images to /images/dvd

* a_bugs_life_01.gif
* a_bugs_life_02.gif
* a_bugs_life_03.gif
* a_bugs_life_04.gif

I did exactly the same but I do not see the images:

• a_bugs_life_01.gif
  • a_bugs_life_02.gif
  • a_bugs_life_03.gif
  • a_bugs_life_04.gif

until I put them in the
/images/dvd directory via the drop down in Admin.

Is it so for everyone? Or is there smth wrong with my site?...Please help,I really need the answer:ohmy:

What you described should work, if you did it exactly that way. We can't tell what the problem could be without seeing your site and your /images/ directory structure.
