View Full Version : Images on search results page

I have a site which uses pages of thumbnails (using a separate sub section for each product).

I know that it is possible to show section names on search results. Is there any way that anyone knows to show the section image too?

Thanks

I have a patch that shows the Product Images (not the Section images) with the search results. Details follow:-

Assuming you have some product images whose filenames are related to your product references then it is possible to display these images with the search results.

The images can be in either jpg or gif format but the extensions must lower case for the code to work.

These patches can be implemented with just a single line of perl but have grown rather large due to the addition of the option of scaling down the image sizes.

Details are in the attached HOWTO file.

Norman,

You have a whole load of fixes and solutions that are really useful, do you have an index of them at all. I have looked at your Rouxel homepage but can't see any links from that to your Actinic related stuff.

Cheers,

Jan asked for a list of my hacks and patches. I've put an index to some of them at http://www.rouxel.cwc.net/actinicstuff.html
and a link to there on my (very old) homepage.
