Images

This tab contains all images associated with the product. Please remember, that the default In-commerce theme assumes that each product has at least one image. Products that do not have any images will not look right on the front end, so please either make sure to add an image with every product, or modify the theme to work without images (or with optional images).
To create a new image, click on the ‘New’ button (the icon like the Windows GIF icon with a little sun). This will open a new page where you specify the image details.

• Image ID – a read-only field, the internal system ID of the image, guaranteed to be unique throughout the system. It is blank when a new image is created.
• Name – this field contains the image name, used on the front-end, inside the In-tags to refer to this image.
• Alt Value – this field contains the text value, which will be displayed in the ‘alt’ tag of the image on the front end, inside the page HTML code, and when a mouse pointer hovers over the image. This tag is important for text-only browsers, non-standard equipment and search engine spiders.
• Status – this field contains the status of the image, enabled or disabled.
• Primary – this flag designates the primary image. There can be only one primary image per list (one primary image per product). When you check this box on an image, the previous primary image is unset, if there is more than one image in the list. Primary image is used in the default theme on the product’s detail page.
• Priority – this field contains the numerical priority of the image.
• Thumbnail location (upload from PC) – Using this control, you can upload an image from the workstation you are at to the In-portal server. The image will be stored in the ‘in-portal/kernel/images’ directory.
• Thumbnail location (remote URL) – Here you can enter a remote URL address of an image. It will be linked from the remote server.
• Same As Thumbnail – This check box sets the full-size image to be the same as the thumbnail image. When this option is checked, you cannot upload a full-size image.
• Thumbnail location (upload from PC) - Using this control, you can upload an image from the workstation you are at to the In-portal server. The image will be stored in the ‘in-portal/kernel/images’ directory.
• Thumbnail location (remote URL) - Here you can enter a remote URL address of an image. It will be linked to from the remote server.
