I want to get Images from my other domain

[shopsavengo]

Hello Everyone,

 

I installed Osc, and it's great Shopping Cart, I need help with the following;

 

1. I already got all my products images on my other domain, what I want to do is instead of upload them to my new domain, I want to just link to them from the Old website to this new website

 

EX: instead of using; http://www.mydomain.com/catalog/images/

 

I want to do this link from my other domain to the new domain: Example:

 

http://www.mydomain.com/images/productpicture.gif

 

What do I need to change to accomplish this;

 

instead of uploading all my product image to my new server, I want to link to my product images from the old website to my Osc Catalog on the new site.

 

Please help Thanks!!! :'(

For a site not using ssl this should work:

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'http://www.myolddomain.com/catalog/images/');

 

Your problem will come in ssl because you probably won't have an ssl connection available between the two servers. Even then you'd have to figure out a new way to switch from

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'http://www.myolddomain.com/catalog/images/');

 

to:

 

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'https://www.myolddomain.com/catalog/images/');

 

which is not such a big deal but is it worth it just to avoid the hassle of copying the images over? They're all in one folder after all.

 

Are the two domains hosted on the same server by chance?

I will try and see if that works. Thanks.

 

The domains are both on different servers. :-"

 

is that a problem

you may run into the problems, if the host has the server setup properly, where you can not access the images across from a different domain, this prevents people from using someone else's bandwidth

No, but it would be easier if they were.

 

I think the original designer(s) set things up the way they are is for exactly this reason.

 

As to Mibble's caveat, you should be able to control the "hotlinking" somewhere on the image server, even restricting it to your specific use.

It did not work out for me, is their any other way I can do this and which files should I edit:

 

I edited the Configure.php

 

Please help me; They both are my domains but with different hosting services.

 

I want to know if their is a contribution that will help me just do that.

 

Thanks everyone for your help :thumbsup:
