playy Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I would greatly help any advice on this problem, I am using EZ populate to add my products, but using an outside website for my images, the image URLs are pretty long? When I load them into EZ populate and upload it, OSC cuts off the end of the URL, so needless to say the images don?t work. I know there is a way to stop it from shortening the image URL. Any help? Thanks again.
leapme Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 two options, the best is to right click on the pictuere, download and rename and upload. the second is http://tinyurl.com/
playy Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 Thank you for the help, but that is not quite what im looking for, I have several thousand images stored at my wholesaler's website. I have fixed this problem before with some help, but I cant remember how to do it. There is a way to change how many characters osc will allow in the images sectiom, can anyone help me?

There is a way to change how many characters osc will allow in the images sectiom, can anyone help me? go into phpMyadmin to the database. find the table "products" and select it. then select to edit products_image just change the length/values to whatever you need My Contributions Stylesheet With Descriptions Glassy Grey Boxtops Our Products Meta Tags On The Fly Password Protect Admin "No matter where you go....There you are" - Buccaroo Bonsai
playy Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 That didnt quite do it either, or maybe im just not understanding. My image urls are about 40 characters long each, when I upload then into osc, it cuts off the end of the image url. Im pretty sure that this needs to be changes in myphpadmin, but I cant find where, or how to do it.

Once there it will be listed as PHPMyadmin or databases or mysql or something like that. go there and follow previous directions.
