    Default Question about Product Listing Image PNG Alpha working

    Hey Guys,

    I'm revamping my product listing xml package today, and I have created some PNGs for each product, which have alpha in them, so that some details behind them show up (mainly the background color), as shown below:



    When I call

    <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:LookupProductImage(ProductID, ImageFileNameOverride, SKU, 'icon', 0)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

    The image shows up with an opaque white background, which I do not want.

    I see the image is copied into the images/product/icon directory as a PNG, but it doesn't seem to work. What magic is happening in LookupProductImage()? Is it converting it to a jpeg, or is it adding the white background? Is there any way around this?

    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I just specified my own filename in the "Image Filename Override" text box within the Admin product configuration page, under the "Images" tab. I then copied the file under images/product/icon/, images/product/medium/, and images/product/large/ directories.

    It now shows up properly as a PNG, since it's not getting resized/modified by the admin tools.

    Hope this helps someone down the road!

    so you got the product image to show up with a transparent background when you add the product? so for example when you have a pattern on the bg of the content area, you won't see/have a solid color that shows up either at the top and bottom -or- right and left side of the product it self??
