Creating a Product page like in Listings Manager using CMS

Hi Mike,

Yes, you can. What you'd do is setup a section "Products" with the product fields and an upload field for images.

Then you'd create a "List Page" that listed ALL the products (or you could have it page through them with prev/next links if you wanted).

If you only want to show one image (the first one) on the list page, the trick for that is to add a break tag like this:


<?php foreach ($yourRecord['uploads'] as $upload):

... display upload here ...

<?php break; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>


Then create a "Detail Page" that shows all the fields (and images) for a record. The link page will automatically create a link for you to the detail page called "_link".

That's a quick overview. Give it a shot and let me know if you need any more details. It's actually more simple than it sounds. :)

Hope that helps!

Thanks, that helped. How about being able to click on the image and have a larger pic pop up? I see where it says thumbnails and larger images when setting up the products but I must be doing something wrong as it's not showing a thumbnail and then a larger image on the site.

With the image code that is generated you'll see a tag in the src of the large image. Just copy that tag into an a href around the thumbnail image. Like this:

<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>"><img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" ... ></a>

Hope that helps!
