Was this information Helpful?

Is there a way to easily set product kits up to include thumbnails the way products do?

thanks

Re: Images for product kits

You ought to be able to go to the Content Types management page (/admin/content/types) and add a field to the product_kit type. The top of that form will have a "Add existing field" section where you can choose "Image (field_image_cache)".

I should see about making this happen automatically, though.

Hi Lyle, thanks for that.

Hi Lyle,

thanks for that. However, I don't have an option to add anything to the product kit content type - all the others have the "add field" etc options, just not product kit.

5.x-1.0-alpha8

Bump for inclusion in core

Hey Lyle,

I just thought I would end this thread with a note that this does work for 5.x-1.0-RC4 and that I think this should be automatically handled by core.

Bump

Hey Lyle,

Just bumping this since it hasn't been implemented in 1.4. Hope it at least gets put into the 6.x version.

trying this same thing

i added an image field to the product kit content type, trying to make it look the same as the image field for product content type. things still don't work. i can upload the image and it is there when i edit the kit, but it doesn't show images in the catalog or the kit close-up view.

i noticed that even though i add the image field with the 'field_image_cache' selected, when it saves, the 'Name' of the field is truncated to 'field_image'. i don't see anywhere to set this, and i don't understand where the imagecache presets that i made for product get assigned to this image field. do i have to make another imagecache preset? if so do i call it 'product_kit'?

stupid me

i fought with this for a while and all i had done wrong is when i added the field, i added an existing field and then i also stupidly filled out the rest of the form for creating a new field. duh. thanks for the instructions above, which when read carefully, work.
