When using eCommerce, a site visitor sees images that represent products or services for sale. The following table lists each image that appears on an eCommerce Web site, and the source of each one.
|
Where Image Appears |
Example |
Image Location in Workarea |
|
Product Server Control, main image |
Image on Product control |
On the catalog entry’s Content tab Note: The sample catalog entries are based on Product Types whose XML Smart Form includes an Image field. As a result, the product description, (which appears at the top of the Product Server control) includes an image. This is not required, merely a suggested implementation. |
|
Thumbnails on lower portion of Product control Note: To control the thumbnail display, use the Xslt files generated by the Product, Product List, Product Search, and Recommendation server controls. |
On the catalog entry’s Media screen. If an image’s Gallery Display field is set to Yes, its smallest thumbnail appears on the Product server control, below the content area. (This assumes you are using the control’s default xslt.) When a site visitor clicks a thumbnail, the corresponding full image appears. Since the Media screen can have several images, several thumbnails can appear. They appear left to right reflecting their sequence (top to bottom) on the Media screen.
