Re: Multiple image per products ?

If you click on the link above for the Tutorials/FAQ and do a search on:
images

you should find numerous references to information concerning Product images and how to have more than one ... :smile:

Re: Multiple image per products ?

Have you looked in the tutorials? Even just searching for images will show this: How do I add multiple images to a product?

Re: Multiple image per products ?

I wish there were a way to make the Tutorials/FAQ more obvious because I don't think newcomers notice it until someone points it out.

But you're right. That's something the <blink> tag might even be good for. Probably nothing less would really work:)

I didn't notice the join date. Blink is good... or perhaps a different color for that link.

Re: Multiple image per products ?

Add to the site's stylesheet in Firebug:

#tagline a+a {font-size: 1.6em;}
#tagline a+a+a {font-size: 1em;}

Better?:P

Re: Multiple image per products ?

I don't know if I want to add to this thread or start another! :D

... er, My multiple images per product are not showing.

I have read every tutorial I can find plus every search, but still not finding the answer. This is a new site and have only added IH2 (I've been on that thread and they don't think that is the problem)

IH2 is seeing the additional image and making the three sizes for it, but my additional image is not showing below the product.
Example: http://birdwaterandbombay.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72_77&products_id=252

There should be one additional image below the description, but it's not showing! Please help!

Probably best to start a new thread, but anyway

what happens when you switch to the classic template, are your additional images showing then?

Have you checked your /cache folder to see if there are any error messages

does your template work with additional images?,

It is a zenflavour template

http://www.zenflavor.com/demo7/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2

Have you asked them

http://www.zenflavor.com/contact

as they will be able to tell you

Re: Multiple image per products ?

What do you have for Catalog > Product Types > Product-General > Show Product Additional Images?

Templates from Zenflavor.com do not have any changes or mods to the product info page... so it should work the same as default template.

There is also a tutorial on their site regarding managing your images with Zen Cart (applies to default template and all other templates).

By the way, I see that the product image is:
http://birdwaterandbombay.com/images/myimages/kneuburgerypaisley.jpg

So the additional image should be:
http://birdwaterandbombay.com/images/myimages/kneuburgerypaisley_01.jpg

But that image does not exist on your server... so of course there is no additional image displayed.

Re: Multiple image per products ?

Catalog > Product Types > Product-General > Show Product Additional Images= true

I switched to the classic template and the images are NOT showing.

I tried lking in the cache folder, but frankly am at a lose as to what I am lking for in all those logs

I just sent an email to zenflavor, (but had thought that all the templates would support additional images since they talk about the additional images on the site.)

Since the additional images do not show in the classic template...is something not set correctly?
TIA

Re: Multiple image per products ?

See my earlier reply.

Your product image is:
kneuburgerypaisley.jpg

You must upload an image with this filename (with _01, _02 etc at the end), in the same folder:
kneuburgerypaisley_01.jpg

But I checked and see that kneuburgerypaisley_01.jpg does not exist... that only means that you HAVE NOT uploaded the extra image. So no extra image is displayed.

If you have uploaded, please check the spelling.. and upper/lower case is considered different.

Re: Multiple image per products ?

yonghs, thx 4 replys.

I renamed my additional image same as your suggestion and still not showing. I have IH2 installed and it sees these additional images and creates the extra sizes-- but they are still not showing on site.

the images are here:

/birdwaterandbombay . com/images/myimages/kneuburgerpaisley.jpg and kneuburgerpaisley_01.jpg

TIA

Re: Multiple image per products ?

Looks like you found the problem:
kneuburgerpaisley.jpg and kneuburgerpaisley_01.jpg
kneuburgerypaisley.jpg and kneuburgerypaisley_01.jpg

Getting the right set of image names?

Re: Multiple image per products ?

No, I don't think that is the problem. To avoid confusion on my part, I changed the image names.

Now is have:

birdwaterandBombay . com/images/myimages/paisley.jpg and paisley_01.jpg

I still don't have the additional image on my site, but IH2 see both images. I think I have all my settings right.

Re: Multiple image per products ?

When I posted before, I saw the additional image at the bottom of your product info page, named kneuburgerypaisley_01.jpg. I don't know what may have happened since then.

I am now seeing the additional image, /images/myimages/paisley_01.jpg.

Re: Multiple image per products ?

gjh42, I changed the name of my images to paisley and paisley_01 because I could not see what you were pointing out.

Are you saying that you can see my one additional image on the product info page?? I rebooted my machine just to make sure. I do NOT see the additional image?

What is going on????

Re: Multiple image per products ?

I can confirm that the additional image does not appear when using IE8 or IE7 Compatibility View. It works correctly in Firefox.
This probably means that there is some error that IE is not able to handle; however, validators show no HTML or CSS errors.

It appears that some javascript is malfunctioning, as when I enable js in Firefox, the additional image disappears. The "Simple Image Trail script- By JavaScriptKit.com" is most likely the culprit.
