Hi
I'm very new to  joomla, & jreviews, but i'm having some problems importing images.

Originally i was looking to display images with external URL's (as a run an affiliate site), and have managed to do that by editing the text field.

I've since downloaded the images and am trying to get them to display by importing directly into the images field. I've saved the images to the correct directory under stories but unfortunatly nothing is displaying in joomla. The rest of my data displays ok but the only image i can see is the one with the external URL.

When i go into jreviews - listings and select an article there is an image displayed under the images tab but this doesn't show up on the front end.

I'm guessing I'm doing something simple wrong  but I just cant figure it out.

Damien

Sorry i need to add that I'm currently working with wamp on a local host

Do you have the /images/stories/jreviews/tn folder?

I understand that, but the tn folder needs to exist in the location I mentioned before. Otherwise thumbnails cannot be generated.

Thanks Alejandro
I've added those folders and its fixed the problem

One quick question, I'm about to get the full version of Jreviews but do you know if its possible to change the category/section layout to display 3 or 4 different product images next to each other
a bit like this site

Yes, JReviews already comes with a similar layout called thumbview and you can switch to it in the configuration, list page tab.
