2 Images?

Well the title says it all, any contributions or code change that allows two pictures per product???

Yes, there a few contributions for this. I have used Dynamic MoPics and it works well. The one downside to it, is you need to create a thumb for every big image you want. If that doesn't bother you, I'd recommend it.

Cheers for that, is making thumbnails difficult?

No, not at all. You just resize a copy of your image, to what you have the "Small Image" size set to in your admin. You would do that in Photoshop, PSP or whatever you use.

 

For Dynamic MoPics, you need to call the thumbs the same as the big image, but upload them to different directories (images_big and thumbs). Every extra image, you name them as the original but with _pic1, _pic2 etc, added.

 

So the original image is named: car.jpg, image 2 is named: car_pic1.jpg, then: car_pic2.jpg and so on. The thumbs are named likewise, with the thumb for: car.jpg, being the one you set as the default image, when you create the product.

I'm assuming that i upload the main pic as normal, then it picks up the other pics and automatically shows them at the products listing.

Yeah that is correct! So far as you create the product and associate the image as usual. The only difference being, the associated image would be thumbnail size. The large sized image, you would just upload to your images_big directory. Along with any additional images you want to show with it, which carry the extra file name of _pic1 etc. You can have as many images as you want, as long as they all have a corresponding thumbnail image, which would all be in the thumbs directory. Dynamic MoPics will, as the name suggests, dynamically add all the images to the product.
