I have installed SwipeStripe, SwipeStripe Category, SilverStripe Gallery and SwipeStripe Gallery. What I want to do is add an image beside the description of each product in my shop on the category pages.

At present, my categories page will list each product as a hyperlink with its corresponding price. There are no images.

How do I get category pages to include product images? (Example)

For each product, I can select an image via the Gallery tab and even display a range of images on each product page (ie a thumbnail is generated). What I can't do is take that thumbnail and add it to:

/swipestripe-gallery/templates/Includes/Products.ss

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi Adam,

You probably want to do something like:

<% loop Products %>
$Images.First.SetWidth(200)
<% end_loop %>

Basically, Gallery_PageExtension is applied to the Product class which adds a many_many relation for Images. Hope that helps :-)
