Multiple pictures per product
Hi..
Sorry for this obviously lame question but for the life of me I cannot find where to upload the multiple pictures for each product. In the "Add Product" interface, where is it? I only see something on the right sidebar for the "Lead picture".
As of this writing, the JigoTheme page is giving a 404:
http://jigoshop.com/blog/themes/jigotheme/
So I don't know where to give an example. But I know several products images are possible for each product. In fact some of the themes even have content sliders and what not..
Thanks for any pointers!

All you do is:
1) Go to the "Media" tab
2) Upload a picture, give it a title, etc.
3) In the Media Manager screen you will see a column called "Attach To"
4) Click that, check the radio button "Products", perform a search for which product you want to attach it to, select it.
5) You are done. You now have an image gallery automated for each product.

You just need to go to the media tab, upload a picture, and then attach it to whatever type of object you want to (in your case a product). They will auto-populate on your product then. You just set the featured image on the actual product page itself.

Sorry Jared, your post was marked spam because you're not logged in and your email wasn't recognized :(
I've restored it. And thank you very much for helping out on the forums :)

Thanks Jared. Yes this works. But this means that if I have 12 images per product, then for each of them, one by one, I click on the "Attach" and then Search, then click, then Attach. Is there a more efficient way of doing this -- attaching 12 images to a product?

It's much easier than that.
See me multi-select all images in this folder:

There you go !

Different things Matt.
You are talking about the last step of merely setting featured image in jigoshop.
I am talking about the act of uploading all the 12 pics for the current product. (From these, later, I will pick one featured one, when your tip will be handy but I already know that bit)

Have you tried it? It's exactly for the feature you request. Simply don't click on "Set as featured image" on the photo itself. In fact you can close the window after it's finished uploading all the photos, and it'll be on your product page.

Wowsers. Yes, it seems to work! What a cool feature!
Maybe we can change the text in Jigoshop product page from "Set a featured image" to "Image Management"?
Love this.

Ahh see I wasn't aware of this possibility. From what I've seen the way that I mentioned was the only way, so I thought. Very cool.

I'm getting something different here. I've followed the official instructions here: http://forum.jigoshop.com/kb/creating-products/adding-images-and-an...
When following the official instructions, I get something like the image that is attached. With NO featured image either on this page or in the product listings. If I set one of the images to be the featured image, I just get that image alone.
Any clues?

Is there any way to use the same image on multiple products without re-uploading?
When I try to pull an image from my media gallery (like I would normally do when making a page or post), it inserts it both as a product image and as an image in the product description. If I delete it from the description part, it also deletes the product image.
It would be great if there was either a way to A) define an additional product image by using the image's URL or B) insert an image into the text description that doesn't also appear as a product image.
Thoughts?

Hi,
I thought this would be great and tried it...
But how do I arrange the order for the pictures. I have a main picture and the others are just supporting pictures, and I can't chooce their order.
So I deleted these products in the media library, so only the main picture should be left. Then my main picture is placed below as a little miniature and the main picture in the single product page is blank!
Do you have any more information about how this work? Can you choose the order of the pictures?
Thanks!

Any ideas on how to actually get the option of "Set Featured Image" ?
All of my product pages are missing that option entirely - so result is a blank placeholder image in each product single page.

While trying to make managing images attached to particular post I found out http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/inline-attachments/screenshots/
However, in my opinion it would be easiest to have separate tab net to other Jigoshop tabs showing similiar output

Hi,
We are urgently looking for the same answer as Alex (posted March 13, 2012) -
Is there any way to use the same image on multiple products without re-uploading?
We have to upload a very large amount of products and this function would be extremely helpful or we will have to look at a new system. Please can someone help.
Thank you.

I would normally recommend this in case that product aren't already added:
http://jigoshop.com/product/jigoshop-product-importer-deluxe/
"Jigoshop Product Importer makes image uploads easier
The Jigoshop Product Importer also handles bulk image uploading. Simply
upload your images via FTP, having listed the file names within your
spreadsheet. Then when you upload your CSV products file, you’ll be able to
set the options for an included image column, and then be able to match all
your images to all your products. And after that you’re done. Or you can
assign images manually if you prefer."
