Adding another image if your selling clothes

[DrBeat]

Ok, im selling T-shirts and sweatshirts as well as MP3s and albums. With my T-shirts and stuff, is it possible so that you have one picture of the front and one picture of the back of the shirt?

My other question is, is it possible to have the picture on the page, (clickable) so that when the user clicks on it, a screen opens up with a larger view of the picture?

Thanks

You can see what I do as an example here:
http://www.fancylines.co.uk/acatalog..._Babydoll.html
Note: Adult Lingerie Site

This is done by adding html code into the product description. I create a table and add the picture and description etc. The <img> tag in the link contains some js to popup another window with a larger version of the image.

<a href="javascript:ShowPopUp(large_image.jpg',440,440)"><img src="small_image.jpg" border="0" ></a>

Hope this helps.

... don't forget to add in the alt="alternate text" into the <img> tag

Too true - I'm slowly working through those and updating - tedious job - so start out right and add it up front.

Dunno how this happened - I was answering a different post...

Duncan, that is exactly what i want to do on my site! So where would i have to copy that code? Thanks in advance

This is done by adding html code into the product description.

you will need to wrap the above code between !!< and >!! tags for Actinic to recognise the HTML is not raw text

I tried doing it manually, ie in the folder 'site html'. I opened jeans.html, added a table for one of the products, pasted the code with the appropriate images created. When i tried an offline preview, nothing appeared. I think actinic might be overwriting the file. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

There's probably neater ways, that I'm sure Jonty could suggest, but this is essentially the code that I use. You will probably need to modify it to suit your particular required format by changing the table layout.

!!<<table width=100% border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Description<br><br></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><a href="javascript:ShowPopUp('large_image1.jpg',440,440)"><img src="small_image1.jpg" border="0" ></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>>!!

You will need to add the other images to the site1 folder, the previewhtml folder and also to the additional files list.

Again quoting the original post by Duncan

The clue is "This is done by adding html code into the product description"

** This is in Actinic not directly in an html file.

[jamescheema]

my mistake, sorry

[jamescheema]

Works a treat! Only problem is when i update the site it doesnt upload the images automatically. Would they have to be uploaded manually?

[jont]

Yes - if you add them in under Advanced | Additional files Actinic will take care of them ... this is because the images are not part of the Actinic system as such - but external references

That method does not seem to be working for me Duncan. all that is displayed is the html code in the product description area for me :s
