Where do I put in the Default Image?

Postby Mister.44 » Tue Dec 13, 2005 5:02 am

If a product doesnt have an image, isnt there a spot where you can put in a
"Sorry, Image not available" default image that you made?

I can make a work around in a custom template, but I swear this was an
option. Am I imagining this? Is it in ShopSite 7 or 8? Pro or Manager?

Thanks!

You're imagining it. Never has been such an image but like you said it
could be done with a custom template. You could also just assign all
products that don't have an image of their own a special image such as this.

Sounds like a good idea, because if your layout is dependent on images
and ShopSite leaves them out, it might look worse than having a default.
Just create a default image in Photoshop or whatever program. I usually
use a photo of a current product and just change the opacity down to
around 10% and add black text on top that says "Image Not Available"

Then make your template call the image:

[-- IF PRODUCT.Graphic --]
put your template code to call the product graphic here
[-- ELSE --]
<img src="media/your_default_image.jpg" alt=""/>
[-- END_IF --]

You could do the same with the more info page image too.

When we don't have an image for an audiobook, we enter <empty> into the
"More Info Page Image" field.
