Hi there.

I'm a CMSMS newbe, I'm a python Linux/Win32 developper.

I am building a website to present a collection of sewing machines.

I use "Products" module to reference the sewing machines. I want to have multiple photos per product.

I there an easy way to add an image gallery into a product ?

Thanks.

I think fastest solution would be installing Gallery module, creating extra field for Products and calling Gallery from there.
It is a bit more clicking like open Gallery module in new tab, upload photos, open Product in a tab, enter gallery directory name but with Gallery you have bulk upload so that makes it even.

Thanks for your answer.

What do you mean by "calling" ?

Could "AdvancedContent" module help me creating a single input form to add product and gallery more easely/make a better user experience ?

I'm learning CMSMS from scratch, Web dev is not my cup of tea, but I hope it'll be one day. So feel free to give much details, even if they sound dummy/obvious :-)

Directly not, it's a strange that ecommerce module hasn't so primary function.

As wrote Uniqu3 the best method is use Galery module. Please search my post, I wrote how can be this done.

I know this isn't what you want to know, but, CartMadeSimple has multiple images in the product detail.

I made a mistake, I meant "FormBuilder".
Could this module help building an input form that will automate Products and Gallery insertion with filling automatically the reference to Gallery in Products' "extra field" ?
