Was this information Helpful?

Well I am just working on adding products at the moment and have found a number of things that could be changed ..

Number of images is limited to Three (3) ... I want more ..

A check box for the image that will then be the main image ..
( instead of having to delete and re-add the images in a specific order )

Last of all a check box to mark the image as not displayed ..

Say you want to add a graphic logo to the description but dont want to display that image in the product images slide show, it would be convenient to add such images to the server via the same image upload but a check box to say they are not one of the gallery images.

any thoughts ?

Re: Multiple images - limited to 3 ?

These are really limitations of the Image field CCK module. It's used in Übercart only as a default way to handle images. If you need something else, or in addition, there are several other ways to use images in Drupal. In particular, you can upload images in the "File attachments" fieldset and then put <img src="whatever" /> in the product description. The filter will need to be Full HTML for the image to be displayed.

I like the idea of reordering the image field images, though. I'll see if anyone has requested that feature for Drupal 6. Edit: It looks like it's been added to CCK for Drupal 6 already. Sweet action. I don't think the multiple images are limited to 3. I've got 5 on one product on my test site. That shouldn't have been changed in any of the newer versions of imagefield.
