Adding separate AND different image to product page.

This site is the example I'm trying to follow:
http://www.dowdydoodles.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=18

I'd like to have a single picture that is in the "New Products" and in the product listing pages.

When they click on that product they then see a different picture (in addition to the 'normal' one)

Thanks,
Shannon

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

Simple - but you can't use Image Handler2.

When you create your 3 sizes of image, as long as the names are correct (i.e image.jpg, image_MED.jpg and image_LRG.jpg, it doesn't matter what the images actually are!

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

Hmmm. I see how that would give them a different picture when they clicked on the first picture; but - as seen in the example in the first post - I'm talking about providing a second picture in addition to the first.

Sorry - misunderstood you. But you've been pointed in the right direction now. :smile:

Doh! I'd already read that and didn't think it pertained to my question - silly silly me!

I bow to your combined wisdom! Thanks Folks!

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

Okay, I have followed this tutorial and finally got it to work.
However, this creates another pop-up image.
The link that Shannon gave earlier :
http://www.dowdydoodles.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=18 , which shows the larger image with ALL the eggs does not link to a pop-up. It looks like it's in another box or table and the larger image is placed inside that.

How do we create the same exact effect?

Thank you,
Nathenia

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

Thanks Clyde,
I will give that a try. Will this also add the option for adding more images when I add new products?

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

you'll have to add them manually following the instructions in the tutorial I referenced earlier.

The Show Product Additional Images was already set to true. and I followed the steps in the tutorial again. However, I must be doing something wrong, because I am still getting thumbnail images that link to the larger pop-up image.

Here is sample of what I'm talking about:

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

We want it to have the same affect as this product page (that is on a different website):
http://www.dowdydoodles.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=18

What we're getting when we work on our site is:
http://www.countryneedle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=8

The difference is that on the Dowdy Doodles product page - the additional images are NOT links to larger images (they are not thumbnails). What we have so far on the Country Needle product page is thumbnail graphic that must be clicked on to be truly visible.

Thanks for helping out Clyde...

Re: Adding separate AND different image to product page.

I looked again at your "sample site" and apparently the large image with the different style of eggs is just that - a large composite image.

If you created a large composite image of your products you could modify your tpl_product_info.php to show it at the bottom of the page.
