The images in Zen Cart for the Products are designed on the a base image filename ...
Let's say I have a Widget and I want to have a small, medium, large image and then additional small and additional large images ...
First, images should not contain spaces and special characters ...
Example of a bad image:
calico cat.jpg
Example of a good image:
calicocat.jpg
The base image is used for all other images, the medium, which shows on the product _info page:
calicocat_MED.jpg
The large image, which shows when you click the medium image:
calicocat_LRG.jpg
The additional images small:
calicocat_01.jpg
calicocat_02.jpg
calicocat_03.jpg
calicocat_04.jpg
calicocat_05.jpg
The additional images large:
calicocat_01_LRG.jpg
calicocat_02_LRG.jpg
calicocat_03_LRG.jpg
calicocat_04_LRG.jpg
calicocat_05_LRG.jpg
I would load the base image (the small image) into either:
/images
/images/my_subdirectory
I would then make the large image, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/large
/images/large/my_subdirectory
I would then make the medium image, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/medium
/images/medium/my_subdirectory
I would load the additional small images into either:
/images
/images/my_subdirectory
I would then make the additional large images, and this can be the same image of a different size or a totally different image, to the:
/images/large
/images/large/my_subdirectory
This allows me to have 3 images for the small, medium and large images where the images are either the same images in different sizes or different images in different sizes ...
The number of additional images are unlimited ...
NOTE: the base image is "owned" by the product ... this means anything that starts with calicocat and ends in .jpg is owned by this product ...
Using the numbers on the additional images is useful for sorting purposes on the display as the images will display in alpha numeric format ...
Hopefully this example further expands on the original post on the calicocat image explination and can help you on this ... :smile:
