get pics from product id
 

hi i have 9000 products with 9000 thumbnail pictures
the picture name is almost the same as my product id

E.G. prod Id =A-0020

the picture file is named a0020.jpg

i want to knock some code up in my templates to pick the picture path and name up
from the product id

I know how to string build in vb

i just need a bit of help getting rid of the "-" and lowering the case

in php....If this works then i can upload my 9000 picture files to the images dir
without editing every name individually........

hope this is clear enough ......Andy

in the template within the productid braces put |lower|replace:"-":"" and add the jpg file extension as well as the file directory

ie. images/{$products[product].productid|lower|replace:"-":""}.jpg

You can download a program that will go through each file and rename it to your choice, and also change the case. I use the program below and its free.
