I want to be able to upload multiple images for each product. All my images has been uploaded to the umbraco Media section, but I want to be able to choose more thanone image for each product. Right now I can only choose a thumbnail and a primary image for the product. How can I do this?
I have also 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.
There are slight differences in how the built-in properties are displayed and how the extended ones work. It's unified in uCommerce 3. As long as it displays the name you're good.

Hi Luyolo,
You can modify the product definition for the products you've got and add as many images as you want.
The article Catalog Foundation Explained: Product Definitions will tell you everything you need to know.
