Noob Multistore question - Different images for different...

Is it possible, through multishop, to have different product images for different stores? I.E. same exact product, price, etc, but different colors, so the images need to be different. I'm making specialized catalogs for good clients of mine.

Not really IOWA.

It is possible to select which stores products should show in so I think it will be a case of duplicating the product and changing the image and store for the newly created one.

Aye.

So I take it the image gallery location is stored in the database itself and not in the php code?

The image path is stored in `image` field of the `product` table.

If this solution doesn't work for you, you could 'construct' an image name fairly easily by incorporating the store_id so data/cat/image1.png, data/cat/image2.png, data/cat/image3.png would relate to store_id 1,2,3.

Bah. Not so good with MySQL. How could I go about this?

Sorry IOWA, I just took a quick look but it would really need applying in lots of places so that the correct store image appeared not only on the product page but in all modules (Featured, Specials, Latest, Category, BestSellers etc.)

Maybe a duplicate would be easier ;D I will try to think of a better way unless someone else comes up with a good idea.

Yeah just duplicating the DB would be easiest at this point in time I suppose. Thanks for you help!

Well is there anyway to mass populate items? I plan on running 9 or 10 different "Specialized" Online stores for clients, and they (mostly) consist of the same products/prices, but with different customized logos on the apparel, and different colored clothing.
