Nfiniti2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Hello All, I apologize if this question has already been posted, but i've done a few searches and just can't seem to find the answer i'm looking for. I have over 200 products that I'm going to be selling in my store. Each product comes in different colors and sizes. i would like to present a thumbnail on the main page that the customer can click on. Once they click on it, I want the product, product information, price and size/color options to appear. Do I have to input each item one at a time, or is there a way to somehow upload the product listing and images at one time, and then just somehow "link" it up? I'm at a lost here, so thanks in advance for any advice. I'm new to this as well.

I don't know the link to the Easy Populate download. It only takes about 6 to 8 steps to install it. I can do it in about 10 minutes, but the first time I did it it took over an hour. Just read the include documents, and you'll figure it out. Once you installed the Easy Populate to your web site, then list one or two items by hand, (one item at a time) then upload it to your computer through the Easy Populate file. This will give you the heading to use, which is line #1 using an Excell program. After listing all your items save it as "whatever?.csv". Then upload it to your site. All images will have to be FTP to /catalog/images. It sounds harder then it is. As for having them appear on the main page, only about nine items will do this. However; by placing your products in categories, you can have the about twenty items to appear on each category page, but it will only give you the title and an image that is a link to the product page where all info in giving in the description of the product. Make sure you back up your work before installing Easy Populate in the event you make an error you can then restore your work and start over. Hope this helps:
