Multiple product images

Double checked and I am in edit layout - feeling in over my head:wacko:

Is there not a plugin available that handles multiple product images?

You don't need a plugin for multiple product images, but many people like to use Image Handler 2 (in Free Addons) to simplify and standardize image handling.

So if I don't need a plugin for multiple product images, how then do I allow my client to upload multiple product images, given that he/she does not understand anything about FTP and simply want to be able to do it via the add/edit product form?

If your client does not want to use FTP, then you do need IH2 or another plugin.

There is a way to add all of the product images through the product edit page, but it is slow and clumsy and not recommended for regular use.

Is there anyway to dictate the layout of multiple images? I have three addition pictures on one product. They are in columns (a good thing) but they are under the "add to cart" box. Can this be moved to above? having them below staggers the column.

To get the additional images above the add to cart, you can move the clearly-labeled blocks of code to the order you want in /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php.
There is also a setting in admin for number of additional images per row.

Hello to everybody,
I need help with multiple images. I've read all tutorials already but still can't see additional images on my web site. Still have silly questions.

For example, I have a base image BW WT-10.jpg and put it into the folders images, images/large, and images/medium
The second image is BW WT 1.jpg as it was saved on my HD.

I guess it supposed to look something like that
BW WT-10_01_LRG.jpg and BW WT-10_01.jpg

Should I rename this image from BW WT 1.jpg to 01.jpg before uploading or not?

I've already tried different ways and anyway can't see any additional images. It just drive me crazy :frusty:.

BW WT-10.jpg
Base image above in images folder
so other images would be
BW WT-10_LRG.jpg to images/large folder
BW WT-10_MED.jpg to images/medium folder
BW WT-10_01.jpg images folder(additional image1)
BW WT-10_02.jpg images folder(additional image 2)
HOWEVER having space/s in image name NOT good idea...
should be
BWWT_10.jpg or BWWT10.jpg

Hello Misty,
Thanks for your reply.
I'll delete spaces.
I know what folders to use for additional images but I confused about the image's names. So far on my HD I have them as BWTW1.jpg and etc. and when I add it to the proper folder it should be BWTW10_01_MED.jpg. So it means that this image BWTW01.jpg has a new name 01, right?
But do I need to rename additional images from BWTW1.jpg to 01.jpg or just add them to the folder "images" as they are right now :unsure:?
Thanks in advance.

USE the examples have given above..just remove
space and hyphen so base image is now
BWWT10.jpg
add extensions as laid out in my initial post,again
minus space and hyphen.

Hi

I have been reading the tutorials and threads on this subject but still cannot solve the problem.

My site is http://cablemaster.com.sg/ecable and under categories - data network - cables - utp cat.5e cables, the first product is utp cat.5e cable .... (3M).

The 1st, 2nd & 3rd image for this product are as follows :
utp5ecable3mbox.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_01.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_02.jpg

The 1st image was uploaded from the admin, category/product. The 2nd & 3rd image I FTP into image dierctory.

The medium sized images are :
utp5ecable3mbox_MED.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_01_MED.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_02_MED.jpg

The medium images were FTP into images/medium directory

The large sized images are
utp5ecable3mbox_LRG.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_01_LRG.jpg
utp5ecable3mbox_02_LRG.jpg

The large images were FTP into images/large dierctory

The result in the product listing page is :- 1st image is showing, there is a larger image sign below it and the large image shows after clicking this sign. For the other 2 images the images are not showing, larger image signs are there and large images show after clicking on the sign.

Please HELP. I am totally lost here. :dontgetit

Your view source shows this:```html
<img src="images/utp5ecable3mbox_01.jpg" alt="UTP Cat.5E Cable, AWG24, UL, 4-pair, Grey (3M)" title=" UTP Cat.5E Cable, AWG24, UL, 4-pair, Grey (3M) " width="0" height="0" />

Notice the 
width="0" height="0"

What are your settings for additional images in Configuration > Images?

OK I solved the problem coz my small image wdith & height is "0".
Changed it to desired width & height & all is OK.

Thank you very much Glenn for solving my headaches.:clap:

Hi i've been working to try multiple images as well but don't seem to work.

I have posted under public_html/images

the Antilekbeker1.gif

Under the file public_html/images/medium

i have posted Antilekbeker1_MED.gif

But at the product it still shows only Antilekbeker1.gif

If anyone could help me out :wacko:

Have read the tutorials but still not getting through me :)

gonna bump this thread fresh again... i am having similar problems as described before... if you view this item:
http://customk9design.com/catalogzen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&products_id=2

you will see the main image, with "larger image" below.... if you view the source, you will find that the primary image is 250x250, and the larger one is 500x500. fyi the smallest image (displayed in prior screen with product listings, is 130x130.

so, i know that the file system is working because if you view the larger image, it is finding the correct larger image and displaying it.

my files are set as so:
/images/eblc.jpg
/images/eblc_01.jpg
/images/eblc_02.jpg
/images/eblc_03.jpg

/images/medium/eblc_MED.jpg

/images/large/eblc_LRG.jpg
/images/large/eblc_01_LRG.jpg
/images/large/eblc_02_LRG.jpg
/images/large/eblc_03_LRG.jpg

in admin the following is set:
Show Product Additional Images 1
Product Info - Image Width 250
Product Info - Image Height 250
Product Info - Image Medium Suffix _MED
Product Info - Image Large Suffix _LRG
Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row 3
Image - Product Listing Width 130
Image - Product Listing Height 130

what am i missing??? why do i not see any additional images???:frusty:

I am seeing on the path to the image:
/catalogzen/images/medium//eblc_MED.jpg

This makes me think you have something incorrect on the naming of the image(s) ... or that you have issues on your configure.php file(s) ...

Edit the product and see what the image name is ... do you see:
eblc.jpg

or do you see:
/eblc.jpg

Aslo, switch to the Classic Template ... do the images now work?

Ajeh,

thanks for your reply :)

i also noticed that extra // but didnt think it an issue (i should know better!) because it was showing the images... figured it wouldnt be working at all if it were wrong...

to answer your ?, my image in the "product in category" editor in admin is showing as:
Image Name: /eblc.jpg

do i just change this in that editor to eblc.jpg, or is there a greater issue as you mentioned "or that you have issues on your configure.php file(s) ..."

? thanks for the help.

fyi, i have tried to just change it to eblc.jpg, but it shows "no image available"... only seems to work with that "/" there.. also tried /images/eblc.jpg and images/eblc.jpg.
i DID NOT re-upload the image, just did a change (selections are underlined)
:
Image Name: /eblc.jpg
Delete Image? NOTE: Removes Image from Product, Image is NOT removed from server: No Yes

Overwrite Existing Image on Server? No Yes

Or, select an existing image file from server, filename: eblc.jpg

Can you post, from the server, without your username and password:
/includes/configure.php

And rename the image in the Product record to:
eblc.jpg

Also, check in phpMyAdmin in the products table that this is the name that you see for products_id 2 ...
