Using Media Image Product Attributes


Posted on: 12th Sep 2011 By: Adam Moss 9 Comments
This is perhaps a bit of a hidden gem with Magento, because it can be extremely useful when needed. Here’s a scenario: your client wants an image on their product page which is detached from the main image gallery. A solution may be a text field or dropdown attribute, which can be used to enter a URL to the chosen image. This won’t help clients who want to add new images though unless they have sufficient FTP privelages – we all know that this can have similar consequences as letting a bull loose in a china shop, then pricking its ass with a needle.
The solution is a media image attribute, this is how to set one up…

Magento: Import Multiple Images for Products Module

Magento Icon
Update: If you are using Magento 1.5 or higher, please see my Revised Multiple Image Import Module post
I still am confused as to why Magento hasn’t built-in the ability to upload multiple images for each product. After scoping it out, finally, I discovered that the modification was quite simple. I haven’t put the module up on Magento Connect yet (not sure if I will), but here I will lay out how to do it, which for some of you may help you understand how modules work, if you don’t know already.
I’ve seen some solutions out there that modify core code, some that just take a file and move it to your /app/code/local/ retaining the same directory structure, so as to just override the file. I don’t recommend either of these methods (especially the first), as with a true module you are setting up a much better environment over time for this to last. And a module allows you to ONLY override the methods you need to modify, instead of entire classes. Plus, you can easily disable the module right in the admin (Admin >> System >> Configuration >> Advanced).
Be sure you replace all of the “YOURSTUFF” with your name or company name.
I have only tested this with 1.3.2.4

How to use Magento Shipping Table Rates

With Magento you can set few kinds of shipping methods: flat rate, table rates or even real-time carrier rates from UPS, FedEx and DHL. You can also use free shipping discounts, that can be created for order amounts, or as part of specific marketing promotions.
To set shipping methods in backoffice go to System -> Configuration and choose from the left navigation "Shipping methods". When you want to use Table rates you can choose one of three conditions avalaible:
  • Weight vs. Destination
  • Price vs. Destination
  • Number of Items vs. Destination
