Multiple product images

Hi, I can not figure out how to add multiple product images? Thank you.

Have you gone through the FAQ? http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/faq.php?faq=cats_and_prods#faq_add_images

Yes, I saw that but it doesn't make sense when I don't load images via a categories.php file, I upload them in the UI. I also am not using the images/dvd directlry and therefore do not know where to put the additional images.

Quote:
You load via the categories.php an image file called:
a_bugs_life.gif and put it in the /images/dvd directory via the drop down
Now you FTP additional images to /images/dvd

OSC had a sidebar next to where you upload the first image for additional images. Why isn't that available in Zencart? I thought maybe I just had to turn it on somewhere.

When uploading the first image ... next to the Browse button is ...

Upload to directory: (available images directories)

Main Directory is /images

The others are the directories under /images

If you use the Main Directory and are loading the file: fred.jpg

You will find it in:
/images/fred.jpg

The Medium image then goes to:
/images/medium/fred_MED.jpg

The Large image then goes to:
/images/large/fred_LRG.jpg

If you have additional images they would be:
/images/fred_01.jpg
/images/fred_02.jpg
/images/fred_03.jpg

The additional large images would go to:
/images/large/fred_01_LRG.jpg
/images/large/fred_02_LRG.jpg
/images/large/fred_03_LRG.jpg

Now, if you want a new /images directory for a given Product or what have you you could create:
/images/something

And set the permissions on /something to 777

If you use the something directory and are loading the file: fred.jpg

You will find it in:
/images/something/fred.jpg

The Medium image then goes to:
/images/medium/something/fred_MED.jpg

The Large image then goes to:
/images/large/something/fred_LRG.jpg

If you have additional images they would be:
/images/something/fred_01.jpg
/images/something/fred_02.jpg
/images/something/fred_03.jpg

The additional large images would go to:
/images/large/something/fred_01_LRG.jpg
/images/large/something/fred_02_LRG.jpg
/images/large/something/fred_03_LRG.jpg

Thank you, an answer that makes sense!

Actually it is the same as what Kim posted earlier ...

The difference is ... I broke out both the /images and /images/something so you could see it very clearly and not be confused by the /images vs /images/dvd ...

New words ... new understanding ... :smile:

Glad this was able to help you ...

Hey i have the same problem i want to add multiple images to a product

i created a folder under images callled ps3
images/ps3

I uploaded 3 pics

images/ps3/ps3_.jpg
images/ps3/ps3_1.jpg
images/ps3/ps3_2.jpg

Only the ps3_.jpg image appears on the site because this was selected as the main upload image the rest dont appear.

Any ideas????
Please help

Ok i even created images in the large and medium folder like

large/ps3_LGE.jpg
large/ps3_1_LGE.jpg

and the medium was done teh same way.

I still cannot display multiple images what am i doing wrong????
plz help

If "ps3_.jpg" is your main image filename, then the following would work:

/images/ps3/ps3_.jpg
/images/ps3/ps3__1.jpg
/images/ps3/ps3__2.jpg
/images/large/ps3/ps3_LRG.jpg
/images/large/ps3/ps3__1_LRG.jpg

Notice the double-underscores in various places (since your base image already contains one underscore, in order to fit the pattern the additional underscore must be added), as well as the use of "LRG" instead of "LGE".

Ok it worked thx a milion

hi i tried this now where do i upload it to the site through the admin cp on zencart do i just add the filename instead of uploading via browse please can sum1 help me i really dont understand im so new to all this i added a new file images/nikeid inside i put 2 pics nike.jpg and nike_1.jpg i then did the same in medium but added nike_MED.JPG and nike__1_MED.JPG and same in large but with LRG.JPG now what do i do i tried goin on zencart admin area and typin the filename instead of browse button but when it displays it just shows broken image picture :cry:

" .. And set the permissions on /something to 777 ... "

How do I set the permissions on a folder? Thanks a lot!

Found how to change permissions with the host. But still no additional images! HELP!

You may wish to check your two configure.php files as I am seeing double // in the URL and that is generally a configuration issue on those file(s) ...

I'm having the same, but different problem here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104915

I need images with different extensions to work, for example:

widget.gif
widget_01.gif
widget_LRG.jpg

My large images are always .jpg and my smaller images are gifs.. I can't seem to find a mod that allows this...

I also have cases where I need the same preview, but different large images... I can't figure out a way to get zen cart to accommodate this..

for example:
product1:
widget.gif
widget_LRG.jpg

product2:
widget.gif
widget02_LRG.jpg

product3:
widget.gif
widget03_LRG.jpg

product4:
widget.gif
widget04_LRG.jpg

It's sloppy & innefficient if I'm forced to rename the same preview image, as if it's 1,000 different images to accomodate the system--it would explode my database & make things a sloppy mess...

do I have a choice with zen cart?

dontknowwhatimdoing:

I can't seem to find a mod that allows this...
That's because there isn't one at the present time.

I am using 1.3.7...

I have two images for one product:

Numbers272WM.jpg
Numbers272WM_1.jpg

Only one image will display...both are in same directory with file permission 777 (public_html/images)

I have set Product Type - General to
Show Product Additional Images - True

Configured images:

Product Info - Number of additonal images per row to 3

Why will only one image show?

Thanks - Here is the product I am referring to:

http://www.makristababy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=46

What happens if you switch to Classic Template? Does it work now?

You appear to have some add-ons associated with images that may be preventing things from showing ...

I am trying to add multiple images to my site. I am attempting to follow the following line:

Admin->Catalog->Product Types->Product General->Edit Layout->Show Additional Images = 2

but can not find "show additonal images" is there another line that this would be under or another way that it would be stated?

Thank You!

Have you perhaps hit the "edit" button instead of the "edit layout" button for Product-General?
