Thumbnail and main image

I have been trying to figure out an easy way to do this, but nothing seems to work

I have a thumbnail image already for each product and a main image as well



I want to use the current thumb and detailed image feature in cs-cart to upload these 2 images - there will never be a need for a larger product image



So I load the 2 images no troubles

when i view the product list - thumb is fine - since I turned off thumbnail creation in the admin - but when I click on the thumb to get to the product details - of course it shows the thumbnail image as the main image view with the usual click here for larger image - which does work - but I want that detailed image to show here in the products details page.



so I decided I will leave the common_templates/image.tpl as is for the thumb - and in the product_pages folder change the product_details.tpl to include a revised version of that tpl called my-image.tpl



Seesm simple enough to get the detailed version here - but I cant seem to get the right info to correctly display the detailed image - any ideas



I have stripped my-image.tpl down to just the basics to output the image - so I guess I am just not getting the right info from variables etc… as most are related to the images.icon version…



Basically I have this kind of idea:



{php}

$Myimage_path = db_get_field(“SELECT image_path FROM cscart_detailed_images WHERE image_id=‘$images.detailed_id’”);

{/php}







Should work - but doesnt look like the db_get_field is getting executed - am I allowed to do this in the tpl?



any thoughts?



Thanks in advance

Do you want to achieve the same sort of thing we have here : [url]http://www.ball-gowns.co.uk/adrianna-p316.html[/url] ?



If I can remember correctly you should be able to change the “icon” to "detailed throughout the replacement images.tpl file.



I am just finishing this section for 1.3.5 SP2 and there seem to be no major changes with the image.tpl file.



When I get a chance I will post the changes I made.

mwanless - yes this is what I am trying to acheive I believe - let me try replacing the icon part as you mentioned - maybe I was trying to do too much

oh my gosh - how silly am I - that was very much appreciated - this has achieved the desired effect.



THANKS

Hi,

I was trying to edit the Image.tpl



Do you have the exact lines you changed?

Can you post that up?

Thanks
