Image Mouseover and Slideshows - Clarification for UK Users (CCP 6.0)

In the UK version of CCP 6.0 you can specify multiple comma delimited images (: BUILD1001.png,HDD1005.png,MONITOR1008.png) in your product list pages and a visitor to your webstore will be able to mouseover the thumbnails of your product images to view the medium image in place of that currently being displayed; further to this, they will be able to click on the button marked  to view larger images of the thumbnails.


You will not be able to browse and select multiple images when adding images to your item on the product listing page. - Either upload the required images to the image folders (remembering to add them to both the  and  folders) first or use the names of previously uploaded files. - If you attempt to browse and upload multiple times you will simply end up with the name of the latest uploaded file in the image field and none of the others; although the other files could still easily enough be added by building their names into a comma delimited list as shown above.


The slideshow functionality is actually a little misleading, because a person viewing the slideshow has to mouseover the larger image and click on the  or  text that will appear overlaid on the image upon mouseover in order to view the next image, and ditto for any subsequent images - ie: the process is not automated and it may well be a good idea to make customers aware of this or otherwise, like myself when I first tested this and others prior to that and since then, your customers may well be led to believe that the image functionality is broken.

Also, to avoid loosing your  namespace image, when using multiple images, do  specify multiple images in the small product image field.

Images do not belong in the "base" directory. There are separate directories for each image size under the public /media/ecom directory where images are stored.

Hi,

thanks for quick reply, erm my website designer people put them there and then just said to put them all there?

what does go in the base directory?

when you say separate for each image size do you mean the smal, large, extra large sizes?

thanks smile

Nothing for CCP that's for sure.

Yes, there is a directory for each of the image sizes.

Hi,

small product images go in: media/gbu0/prodsm
large product images go in: media/gbu0/prodlg
extra large product images go in: media/gbu0/prodxl
catalogue display images go in: media/gbu0/cat

To make life easy for yourself i would recommend creating a folder in media/gbu0/ and calling it something like "siteimages" and putting all your misc site images in there.

Your skin images go in the skin subfolder.

This is for the UK version the path for US version would be different.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bruce.

Re: Image Mouseover and Slideshows - Clarification for UK Users (CCP 6.0)

ok just had a look in media file and even though i have been outting them all in the base directory when i click on

/ecom/prodsm
/ecom/prodlg
/ecom/prodxl

they are all in the right place???


Oh mg! as I was writing this I figured it out!!!!

its awkward but the only way it will let me do a comma list is to copy them into word and then highlight them all and pasted into image file! wahooooo!

Im gonna pat myself on the back for doing it and send BIG CHRISTMAS HUGS TO BRUCE AND DAVE FOR HELPING!!!!

thanks you loads!!!!!!
