Easiest way to add multiple images to each product?

[alwayspaws]

This worked for me but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this, since I have several colors of products and several products to do this with. (I can't afford Store Manager right now, or maybe not for a long time).

I uploaded one combination product in admin. Rebuilt the index to add the product.

Clicked to edit the product.

In the product's images section, I clicked to add a new image and selected all the images for that specific tee shirt and clicked "upload files" and added the caption.

You can't see the images in admin unless you click them, but they are on the site.

This is what it looks like after the upload is done (and yes I know the caption is the same)

And here is the final result which is what I'm going for:

I think it should work the way you do it. Obviously thumbnails aren't created. Does Backoffice -> Preferences -> Images -> Regenerate Tumbnails help?

Back office images in product are displayed in smalldefault. Make sure you have smalldefault for products in Preferences -> Images

Sorry for spamming your topic @alwayspaws, but @yaniv14 is there any way to have larger images just for the back office - products listing, orders etc. without affecting the front office appearance? Many of the products I sell are very similar and with close titles, and either I am on 24" screen I have to enter products to see larger product images to be sure if I send the correct item.

[yaniv14]

Yes its possible but most likely you will have to override admin controllers.

Thanks! I have to find a developer obviously :)

No, it didn't help but I'm not worried about it as long as I see the images online.

I followed these steps in case I'm missing something:

Preferences - images - Regenerate thumbnails Select an image - products Select a format - tmsmalldefault

Clicked regenerate thumbnails

Cleared cache and went to the product - still no image shows.

I verified that the setting is that way. Thank you.

Can you check the image url with chrome inspect element

Instead of a developer, why not just increase your screen size when you need to see the images? On Mac it's control plus sign (+) and to reduce it is control minus.

Or, change the resolution of your monitor.

@yaniv14 I'll try now

This is the result but since this is PS and I'm only getting things ready, I'm not concerned that I can't see the images when editing the products. It would be easier, but I just go to my site and refresh the page and all the colors are there. No need to troubleshoot, yaniv, but thanks very much!

@alwayspaws if I zoom the page the images get blurry and agin I can't see the products clearly ...

[yaniv14]

Can you try to disable mod_pagespeed in htaccess?

ModPagespeed off

[alwayspaws]

@yaniv14 is the above pagespeed edit for me or for @MockoB?

Can you change the resolution of your display?

[MockoB]

Thanks for the suggestion @alwayspaws but my display is already with resolution over 2500x.... I am talking about my current ps 1.5 shop. May be it is different with thirty bees (1.6), when I have running thirty bees shop finally I will fight then with the image sizes. About @yaniv14 suggestion I believe it was for you.

[alwayspaws]

@MockoB - Decrease the resolution. Can you see it's bigger on the right side?

I added that code to .htaccess via sublime but it didn't make a difference. I still can't see the product images in admin, so I put .htaccess back the way it was (from a backup copy. lol)

Does the code have to go in a specific place - before or after something else?

[yaniv14]

@alwayspaws This should go in .htaccess under adminxxxx folder. If you don't have that file than create a new file.

[MockoB]

I prefer using higher resolution that is why I bought that monitor after all :)

[alwayspaws]

@MockoB - maybe start a new post so you'll get your answer, I hope!

That didn't work, either. The file existed with one line in it and I added the code to it, refreshed cache, etc.

Thank you for trying. It's ok to give up! :)
