Images for some and not others

Hi,
I want to be able to have images for some products or some categories but not others..Can I do this? If so how? (without turning images off all together under config/images).

If you want to skip an image for a single category, leave category image box blank in your admin edit category.

Re: Images for some and not others

I found elsewhere on this site that if I type "none" in the image file field it will remove the images, but it renders my Preview button useless....

Any other suggestions?

Re: Images for some and not others

I was wondering how to do that too. Because if you don't need an image and just don't add one you get the "no picture available" image which is worse.

Re: Images for some and not others

You can turn off the "images required" in the Admin> Configuration> Images

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

No ... this is to indicate that when no image is set ... either show the No Image or don't show anything ... :smile:

Re: Images for some and not others

Found it in config > images theres a setting to use the no image .gif or nothing.

Tried it works.

[B]Product Image - No Image Status[/B]              Please make any necessary changes           
[B]Product Image - No Image Status[/B]
Use automatic No Image when none is added to product
0= off
1= On
