Hi Thanks for the reply. Oh I still want the variant images - what I really want is to be able to show one image for each variant next to the price and have 4-5 photos from the parent in a type of CSS based slideshow. E.g. on here I have used CSS animations to make a slideshow: [ sway.net.nz/new/index.php/products/tio-p.../6-tortillas-12-pack](http://sway.net.nz/new/index.php/products/tio-pablo/product/show/6-tortillas-12-pack) But to show you the problem, this product has variants and thus when you call this->element-> images it overrules the 5 photos from the parent product: [ sway.net.nz/new/index.php/products/tio-p...w/1-chocolate-azteca](http://sway.net.nz/new/index.php/products/tio-pablo/product/show/1-chocolate-azteca) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzIxMjIzLXJlZmVyZW5jZS1wYXJlbnQtcHJvZHVjdD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86322 - Thank you received: 14281 - - 15 years 3 months ago [\#21257](#21257) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Reference Parent Product](/forum/4-how-to/21223-reference-parent-product#21257 "Hey guys, Quick question, I have modified the products->view file to enable a CSS based gallery for my products.

The main product images should be in $this->element->main->images The code $this->lement->uploadFolder_url is not correct and it should be $this->image->uploadFolder_url Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzIxMjIzLXJlZmVyZW5jZS1wYXJlbnQtcHJvZHVjdD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation.
