I have added multiple images by adding several data type "image" entries into my product definition. I've also hacked the "thumbnail" section away from the user control in order to arrive at just 3 images (primary) (2nd) & (3rd). While these inputs are now stacked neatly in the image tab on the product, only the first image actually displays anything on the media tab once all three are loaded and saved. The other two image types only display the text of the filename from the media folder. Is this normal? Do I need to modify something in order to see the two additional images I've added to the product definition? The 2nd and 3rd images are loading fine once I've modified the xslt but it's rather awkward not being able to "see" the images during product creation.
It's due to inconsistency between the way field controls are rendered. It's fixed in uCommerce 3, but if you give me the version you're using I'll make sure to include the fix in uCommerce 2 as well so you can get your hands on the fix sooner.
Thanks so much Soren! I began extending the admin by inheriting from the IEditProductView to attempt to create a media extension tab but haven't moved very far on this due to time constraints. This will be much appreciated as I'm selling swimwear products which requires multiple images to keep customers happy :) Keeping with your standard framework will make upgrades and support much easier.
My Version information is as follows:
Umbraco 4.7.1
uCommerce 2.5.0.0
Let me know if there is an interim upgrade required for the patch. I haven't browsed the main site in a while. I could be slightly behind.
Multiple Product Images on Media Tab
Soren,
I have added multiple images by adding several data type "image" entries into my product definition.

Hi Phil,

Regards,
uCommerce 2.5.2 is available with a couple of fixes backported from uCommerce 3 among which is the updated image picker control.
Works like a charm! Thanks so much Soren! Exactly what was needed.
