Changing the product image

You can change the product image or the location of the image:

Procedure

1. Find the product to change.
   

2. Use one of the following methods to change the product image or location:

   1. Change Product notebook:

      1. Select a field in the product row that to change, and from the Actions menu, click Change Product. The Change Product notebook opens.

      2. From the left navigation frame, click Images. The Images page displays. You can change the full and thumbnail size product images. Type the changed image paths and file names relative to the store's root directory. Image files should be placed in the store's defined image directory. For example, the ConsumerDirect starter store would use the following paths:

         • Product images are stored in WC_EAR /Stores.war/ConsumerDirect/images/catalog.

           To change the full size image, in the Full size image file and location field, type /images/catalog/leathercoat_full.gif.

           To change the thumbnail image, in the Thumbnail size image file and location field, type /images/catalog/leathercoat_tn.gif.

         • Product images are stored in WCDE_INSTALL \workspace\Stores\Web Content\ConsumerDirect\images\catalog.

           To change the full size image, in the Full size image file and location field, type \images\catalog\leathercoat_full.gif.

           To change the thumbnail image, in the Thumbnail size image file and location field, type \images\catalog\leathercoat_tn.gif.

      3. Click OK to save the changes and close the notebook.

   2. Product Management dynamic table:

      1. Click the Images tab. You can change the full and thumbnail size product images. Type the changed image paths and file names relative to the store's root directory. Image files should be placed in the store's defined image directory. For example, the ConsumerDirect starter store would use the following paths:

         • Product images are stored in WC_EAR /Stores.war/ConsumerDirect/images/catalog.

           To change the full size image, in the Full size image file and location field, type /images/catalog/leathercoat_full.gif.

           To change the thumbnail image, in the Thumbnail size image file and location field, type /images/catalog/leathercoat_tn.gif.

           To change the full size image, in the Full size image file and location field, type \images\catalog\leathercoat_full.gif.

           To change the thumbnail image, in the Thumbnail size image file and location field, type \images\catalog\leathercoat_tn.gif.

      3. To view the current images associated with the product, click Show Images from the Edit menu. The images are displayed in the dynamic table.

Results

• The product images are language specific; that is, if the product is offered at a French store and a Japanese store, and to change its images or image locations for both stores, provide the new information for each store. To work in another language, click the Select icon, found in the upper left corner.

• You can switch to a different language only if you are authorized to work with more than one of the WebSphere Commerce supported languages and if the language is available.

• If the changes to the catalog data do not display in the store, the Site Administrator may need to remove the currently cached JSP pages.
