Kartris products can have unlimited images. To add an image
for a product, click the images tab and then 'Add
new'.
Hit 'Browse' and navigate to an image on
your local computer. Ideally, this image should be sized already for
use as a 'large view' image on your site. Typically this would mean
JPEG format (.jpg extension), no more than 600 pixels in each
direction, and below 100KB in size. Once selected, click the
'upload' link to the left of the browse box. The image should appear
in the list.
Don't worry if it appears slightly
distorted or squashed; this back end view is not how the image will
appear on the front end; it is just a rough thumbnail that will be
made square here. On the front end of the site, the image aspect
ratio will be maintained, and it will be reduced in size where
necessary for use as various sized thumbnails, normal sized view,
and large view.
You can upload multiple images
one by one. They will appear here as a list. The image order can be
changed using the up/down buttons, or it can be
deleted.
Where there are multiple images, the
first will be used for the product on the front end of the site. On
the product page itself, the first image will display larger, while
the others will be thumbnailed below in a gallery. A large view
feature is automatically provided.
If no image is
included, a place-holder image may be displayed on the front end
instead, depending on the
frontend.display.image.products.placeholder
config setting.
