I discovered after finally moving my revised osCommerce from my test server to the production server that the display of catalog side images failed on the admin side because allow_url_fopen was turned off. I've revised the instructions to work on any server whether allow_url_fopen is on or off.

I've also modified the display of images on the catalog side product page (product_info.php) so that the default image for the product will always be displayed first.

Complete install attached with update instructions.
