al4445 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 The administration tool will only let me choose images that are on my computer. I have got a copy of the store on my computer, When I update these files and upload them to my store the image is missing. Why wont the admin tool let me choose a file from a remote server directory? I am also completely new at this.

AllTheAbove Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 PLease help!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If I understand your question correctly, you want OsC to pull the images from your computer instead of from your webpage to show in the store?

I can only get OsC to get images from the folder on my computer.... I want to be able to get images from my webpage Sorry for the confusion....

I want to be able to get images from my webpage Sorry for the confusion.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You uploaded the images to the proper directory? Example: You are selling Widgets.. When you told Osc where the image was, did you say it was catalog/images/widgets.gif or catalog/images/widgets/widgets.gif It is more than likely pointing to the wrong place or uploaded to the wrong place. You did upload them, right?

I'm editing the files on the remote server. I'm using Mac OSX is this part of the problem?

ecgbyme Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Any Ideas????? Please help..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why don't you simple download the images you want and save them to your hard drive. Just right click on the image and save to disk. Create a file on your C drive, call it wahtever you want, store-images or whatever and save the images to this file. That way you'll be able to retrieve them from your hard drive.

My guess is you have a problem with your configure.php files. After you upload check the broken image properties and see if the location is correct. My guess is it isn't.

My computer is not always linked to the internet. The site is hosted on a remote server. The files will not be linked to my site that way.... I need to be able to update the site on more than one computer. Thanks

What should it say
jasper98 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I'm not sure exactly. Are you using ssl for you admin section? I had a similar problem where the images in the admin dir. were showing https://ssl.xxx.com/image.jpg when they should have been https://ssl.xxx.com/xxxx/image.jpg. That's why they weren't showing up.

jasper98 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 no i'm not, should i be... how do you add ssl... will check it.... thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's not necessary, do the images display in your catalog, just not the admin section? or not in either?
al4445 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 it's not necessary, do the images display in your catalog, just not the admin section? or not in either? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes they display in my admin, just not in the catalog
jasper98 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 ah, I'm guessing it's just a small configuration problem. maybe post your catalog/includes/configure.php, just block out your database information. I'm sure someone here could figure it out.
