I need help with additional images please!!

Hello,

Here is my question I would like to add additional images to my product description page IE. the other colors it comes in and so on. I have been looking around at the plug-ins and forums but cant seem to figure out which is the best for what I need some seem to work some don't I also have version 1.5.0 and Im not sure which of these work for that version. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very thankful.

Here is an example of what Im going for to help.....

http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/fuseAction/products.adjacent/_/Next-Product/productID/9c6a18a0-076f-4880-aec5-b19fe71a6c9a/categoryID/c5aabf06-4d85-4e3b-95d5-06b359fc09b4/adjacencyDirection/next/

If you notice in this example it has two thumb nail images for the colors and if you click one it makes it the large image to the left. And at the bottom of the large image are additional views of the product. This is the system Im trying to go for can anyone help me with this!!!

Thank you for your time and responses.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. That mod works for the mouse over which is one of the features I need. Do you happen to know what to use in order to have mulitple images on a product page. Thanks again for your time and responses!!

Additional images (multiple views of the product) are a stock feature of Zen Cart. After you have set the main product image, name your additional images based on that filename and FTP them into your /images/ folder. See the tutorials on Images for complete info.

Re: I need help with additional images please!!

Thank you for the info I have read the tutorial and tried the renaming thing however when I go to put the image on the product that it is the additional image for it replaces the main image. Am I doing something wrong I put the second image in the same folder in my FTP client as the main one and I added a _01 to the end of the image name. I then go to the product description page and try to upload the image as I did before but it replaces the old one!! What am I missing thank you again for your help and responses!!

Re: I need help with additional images please!!

Once you have selected a main product image, all additional and larger images uploaded and named according to directions will be automatically detected and used. You do not select the additional images in the product editing page; whatever image is selected last becomes the main image.
