Customvar images

[shagon]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me? I’m trying to design my product line template and have added a couple of custom variables so that I can add 2 extra images to the template.

My code on the template is:
<td valign="middle" align="center" width="90" height="90"><img src="CUSTOMVAR:DETAIL1"></td>

And on the product line in the catalogue I have added the custom variable and in the value field I have the image name “STAPER1.gif”. this file is being stored in the Site1 directory.

I think that the code is working because when I preview the site I get a red X were the image should be, like it can’t find the image.

Can anyone help me its driving me nuts and I just can’t see what’s wrong.

Help

Did you include the quotes in the variable value? If yes, then remove them and try it again.

If not, can you provide the url for the page with the problem so we can have a look.

Does Actinic upload customvar images, or do you need to add them to Additional Files to get them to the webserver?

When I look at the source code I see scr=" " - no file name, which would indicate the Customvar is not being loaded properly. Can you go to one of your products and check
1) that on the properties tab, you have the two customvars listed
2) that each is ticked in the 'use as customvar colum'

To get Actinic to upload these images via CUSTOMVAR's they should be in Site1, and you need to check Is File Name and uncheck Use File Content.

Also, if using Business, you need to uncheck Searchable and check Use as CUSTOMVAR.
