Topic: Catogory - product Image display

Subject: Catogory - product Image display
Date Posted: 27-March-2009 at 1:42pm

In one of my clients stores the product display (in the category view) is set to:

Show images horizontally with 1 image per row.

This works ok but because it shows the product thumbnail the image is too small. I want to display the general or large image here instead.

I tried changing the references in the pcShowProductH.asp file from smallimageUrL to largeImageUrl but when I uploaded themodified file I got 'no image available' instead of the large image.

Can anyone help on this please.

Thanks

Nigel

Hi Nigel, you need to make sure the SQL query that loads the product data includes the field for the image you want to display. In viewcategories.asp, is only loads the smallImageUrl.

around line 608 of viewcategories.asp you have to edit the query, replacing smallImageUrl with the image of your choice.

If all you do is change that query, this will still work, or you can change it to "large", making certain that the name here matches the name in pcShowProductH.asp:

pSmallImageUrl=pcArray_Products(8,tCnt) '// rs("smallImageUrl")

Thanks for your quick replies.

I omitted to mention that I had also changed the query references in the viewcategories.asp file from smallImageUrl to largeImageUrl. I even cheked the name of the large image in the database to be sure.

I'll go back and try it again - it's possible I missed somehting or made a typo. It's reassuring to know that I was at least doing the correct thing (or so I thought ).

I'll let you know how I get on.

Success !

I had another go and still no luck but then I noticed another reference to smallImageUrl further up in viewcategories.asp here:

'// Query Products of current category
query="SELECT products.idProduct, products.sku, products.description, products.price, products.listhidden, products.listprice, products.serviceSpec, products.bToBPrice, products.largeImageUrl,products.noprices,products.stock, products.noStock,products.pcprod_HideBTOPrice, POrder,products.FormQuantity,products.pcProd_BackOrder FROM products,

When I changed that one as well it worked perfectly. It makes sense to me now I see it as it needs to call the largeImageURL to reference it later.

Many thanks for your help guys.

Nigel
