How to show all products with image in one page

[studiomigo]

Hi

How to show all products with an image in one page? the only way to do that is to use the "feature" list but that is a awful, long process. Is there another way?

At the moment I can only show the category title and image/banner, with a list of products without an image thumbnail.

Hi,

You can set the Item URL for the 'Products' Menu item to /limestone and it will display the products as shown here -> http://stsstone.businesscatalyst.com/limestone

Also you can create another catalog with all the products and link that URL to a menu item as you wish.

Hope that helps!

Thanks TS.

I think your second solution is the way. I want to show ALL products on the Products landing page not create a sub menu item for each category.

Thanks,

Thanks TS

The only way to do such a thing is by using Tags and the Feature Products module which is a pain in the a$$.

BC has some great features but many which are awkward to implement or simply do not exists. The web is all about photos and dynamic visible content and yet BC doesn't have a decent image gallery! medium sized businesses will be better off using WordPress.

Why can't I insert all my products into one page with thumbnails? is that too much to ask?

Why in this day and age we need to add a special thumbnail image when there are so many scripts that reduce image size on the fly? For an e-commerce site with hundreds of products these two features (tags and thumbnails) can mean many hours of additional work not to mention maintenance and bugs.

Hi Micha,

Regrettably, at this stage we only have a tag to dump a list of product items w/o thumbnails. 

I would suggest that you submit a ticket to the support so as to pass this on as a feature request on your behalf for future consideration.

Appreciate your time and concern.

I agree Micha!

TS-Rohit,

Totally off topic, I would suggest optimizing your images. It takes a fairly long time to load. Can't imagine the site on a mobile. If I was you I would at least create the thumbnails to size and optimize the quality a little to speed up load time. Just a friendly suggestion.

Peace!

I optimized them as much as I could but my client is one of those who want's his kids to manage the site, kids that no nothing about image manipulation.
