We've been fiddling around with Customvars over the weekend to try to find a way of displaying multiple images for the same product. I looked for this on the Community threads but couldnt find it.
I think we have succeeded, and our method might help others with the same need.
The example is here:

Basically, we edit the product template to show the picture source as a Customvar, and then create a separate customvar to provide a hyperlink for each image. To aviod confusion for customers searching for products, we disable each customvar from the search function.
Any comments from Actinic experts as to whether this is a valid approach? Are we storing up trouble doing it this way?
