Questions for NormanRouxel re Multi-Images

[Lee_Wallis]

Hi Norman

I am building an actinic store for a customer. We use Actinic 8 Developer version and need do be able to add more images per product. We don't need any fancy effects or anything like that, we just want to be able to have more images per product. Example 1 is how the product information page would idealy look.

I'm assuming the options for more images in actinic would look something like Example 2?

If we bought your patch, would it work in the way I need it to? (no special effects, displaying each image seperately).

And.. as our customer is on the standard designer version of Actinic, would they also have to buy the patch to be able to add images theirselves? Or would the patch pass on when we send them a snapshot?

Also, what is the maximum amount of images that can be added per product?

Thank you for your help, if you could let me know the above as soon as you get chance I would be grateful!

I use this patch a lot. It asks for the extra images into a variable field on the properties tab of a product, not as you have it.

It does snapshot over, so no transfer problems.

You don't need any patches from me for this.

Read up on conditions, blocks if's, and look for prior posts regarding additional product images.

Here's some sample code. First create some Variables (ExtraImageFileName1, ExtraImageFileName2,...) of type File and allow them to be empty. Then in your layout:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtraImageFileName1%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22" >
	<img src="<actinic:variable name="ExtraImageFileName1" />" />
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ExtraImageFileName2%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22" >
	<img src="<actinic:variable name="ExtraImageFileName2" />" />
</actinic:block>

Norman, that's absolutley brill. That's all I needed!

I tried some searches but each time it seemed to link back to your thread.

Thanks very much for your help, it's kind of you to tell me how to do what I needed instead of trying to sell your product to me.

Thanks again
