Anyone know how to add the detailed images to the products page in place of or in addition to the thumbnails?

I'm real close to putting it all together but I need a direction to go. Will I need to edit the database and/or php files or will it be just the template files?

Any suggestions are appreciated

Here's the way I usually do it. Look for this code in product.tpl:

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}

replace it with this:

{include file="modules/Detailed_Product_Images/product_images.tpl" }

Then just edit the detailed product image template as required to get it to show up the way you want it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think I made myself clear. I want to replace the thumbnails in products.tpl, not product.tpl.

Here's an example:

I'm trying to get the detailed images from

http://www.puttinggreensturf.com/product.php?productid=16176&cat=252&page=2

to show up on

http://www.puttinggreensturf.com/home.php?cat=252&page=2

That's why I need some direction, it seems that there are going to be a few files for me to edit.

Doh! Sorry about that. So you want a whole bunch of detailed images next to each product in the products display? Isn't that going to be a bit nuts?

Yes, it will be. It will also make it load slower. I went over both of those with the site owner but that's the way he wants it done.

I sat in front of the computer screen for about 4 hrs today and didn't get anything accomplished ~ bah!

And of course...the customer is ALWAYS right

If I get some free time tonight I'll take a look at it for you....
