Posting Products One At A Time

Hi, I have been having trouble with a couple of modules, namely Image Handler and Easy Populate. So for right now, I'm just going to post my products one at a time. (Yes I have a bunch of products) :ohmy:

One of my problems is that my manufacturer only has large photos (really large). So if I start with the large image and batch create regular size images (not thumbnails), what does that image folder set up look like on my server. I assume ZC is pulling from that image file right? Also is there a thread on how to list products one at a time.

Thanks
Brenda

You may want to consult the relevant support threads of these mods and get things fixed.

Correct.

On the sites which I am administering, all pics are just of regular size (eg 400 x 600 px, 450 x 750 px etc with 40-80 Kb each). IH and Zen Lightbox do the rest (resizing, creating thumbs on the fly etc) just as these mods are designed to handle images. I don't use the Medium and Large folders.

The pics are categorized within the /images folder, just to keep things tidy and organised. As an example, on one of my client's site the pics reside in

/images/beach_shirts
/images/kaftans
/images/mumus
/images/sarongs_long
/images/sarongs_short etc etc
