The new store needs to have more than one product photo per product. It’s selling contemporary gifts, some of which are pens so the client wants to have a full photo plus close ups of the nib and other parts. The client has an existing osCommerce store which already allows extra photos however the script was put in place by the company that originally set the store up but they only got it half working.
So whilst looking for the thumbnail script I came across another contribution called more pics. This allows you to add up to 6 photos for each product.
After installing the contribution on my test site I logged into the admin area, checked the new configuration page for it and then went to add a product. Suddenly I was faced with a similar screen to my client’s other osCommerce store with the half working more photos script. I then realised it is infact the same script except the original developers clearly didn’t follow the simple instructions as they only seemed to install half of the contribution! On the old store my client doesn’t have a configuration page, nor can they remove any additional photos. So once I’ve got this working on the new store and have that all up and running I’ll probably get the script properly installed on the old store too.
I’m just hoping that I can get the auto thumbnailer script to work on the extra photos too. If it doesn’t automatically I’m sure a few tweaks will do the trick.
