Hello, I'm trying to use Drupal E-Commerce to set up a simple online store. E-Commerce w/ EC-Live Subproducts handles the product definitions beautifully, except for one thing: Images. I haven't been able to figure out a convenient way to attach an image to a product. I would like the image/product title to be the only thing displayed on the "Products" page. Is this possible? Or do I need to edit the E-Commerce plugin directly? Thanks!

xiaomai . Use the cck image field, Add one to the poroduct content type. If on your site (host) you can use clean urls (mod_rewrite) enable it and use image_cache module to make different image sizes thumbs for example.

That CCK Image field is really wonderful. Thanks for suggesting that. I do have one other question. How can I get the picture to show up on the products page. I'm assuming the part displayed on the products page is just the "Teaser" view... Can I retheme that in my theme? Or is there a better way?

nycphper on the #drupal - eCommerce channel taught me this

1. You need imagecache module installed in modules\ directory (enable it too)

2. Administer > Site configuration > Image cache - and create a new preset called "Thumbnail" (or 'nycphper' ;) ) with action set to "Resize". Input width and height as needed.

3. Administer > Content Management > Content types > Product > Display fields. *Note 'Product' and 'Display fields' are not in the menu, but in the content area. Set the 'Teaser' for your image field to 'Thumbnail'.

Presto finito.

HI

I followed all the above instructions and installed the relevant modules and all my product category pages are showing the thumbnail image fine but...

on the product page that is above this (in the hierarchy), which has a summary of all the products in a table, don't have any images only title and first bit of description.

(The url of the page is www.mysite.com/product).

I am using the e-commerce module by the way.

All the other posts talk about adding a thumbnail to the teaser product bit in the product categories.... but this doesn't seem to include the main product page (i.e. the top product category) only other product sub categories.

Hope I'm making sense. What am I doing wrong. How can I add a thumbnail of each of my products to my top products page (next to the product's title and description)?

Thanks for any help.
