Using the Media Gallery

You can upload up to 100 images at a time directly to your Media Gallery. You also have the option to add a title and searchable keyword tags to each image.

Note: To upload multiple images at once, you need the latest version of Adobe Flash® Player. An alert displays when you click Upload Images if you do not have the latest version of Flash. Click the link on the alert to get the latest version.

Images display 10 per page by default. If you have more than 10 uploaded images, you can increase the number for Results Per Page or use the Previous and Next buttons.

You can link to or embed PDFs and SWFs from your Media Gallery in fields that accept HTML. Additionally, you can display images from your Media Gallery in fields that accept HTML by using the img src tag.

You can assign different images to display with each product. On a product's Media Gallery page, you can assign images to the product using either the One-Image or the Multi-Image option. There are three locations where product images display: Thumbnail, Standard, and Zoom.

Thumbnail

Displays the thumbnail image next to the product on your Products page and also when the product is presented as a Featured Item. Click the arrow in the Thumbnail setting section to set the thumbnail Display Options as Scale to fit or Full size.
- Scale to fit - Displays a 60x60 version of the image.
- Full size - Displays a full-size version of the image. The size that the image displays on the storefront is affected by the containing element. For example, if the storefront section in which the image displays has a maximum size of 256x256 pixels, the original image will be constrained to fit into that 256x256 box.

Note: When the Category Page Style 3 is selected, the Standard Image (175x175) is used if the product is in One-Image mode; if the product is in Multi-Image mode, a 175x175 version of the Thumbnail is used.

Standard

Displays the image no larger than 175x175 pixels on the product detail page.

Zoom

Displays the full-size image in a new window when the Standard image is clicked.

Note: The system does not automatically increase the displayed size of the image. To effectively use the Zoom feature, you must upload a larger version of the image.

Previously, you were required to have at least one image associated with each product. You now have the option to not assign any images to a product.

This option allows you to assign one image to each of the different display locations.
