automatic categories for big amount of product

[matangi]

when you have to manage big numbers of produkt, like several thousend, you need folders for categories. but up to now I am not able to do this with the admin tool.

 

I already searched the forum but I cant find the trick.

 

who can help me how to create categories???

Not sure what you mean?? You can create as many categories / sub categories as you want :)

 

Do you mean the images relating to the categories?

thank you for your fast reply!

 

If you use the admin, you can upload images for the products, but I can?t find a way to upload these images in a special order.

 

e.g Bananas, apples, orange -- to the folder fruits

London, Paris, Rome -- to the folder cities

 

and so on, but I can?t find a way to do it.

 

is there a workaround or did I use a wrong function?

 

I want to put images in a special destination folder, because if you have thousend of pictures in one folder you have problems to find pictures

This functionality currently isn't available in osCommerce. Though I think I remember someone posting a way to do it that works in some cases. You might want to search through the older forums (at the bottom of the page).

I don't think Osc has that functionality at the moment. An alternative would be to rename your pictures, to (for example):

 

fruit_banana.jpg

fruit_apple.jpg

 

city_toronto.jpg

city_london.jpg

 

and so on. If you use a bulk replace program (have a search at www.tucows.com) then it would just take a few moments to change them on your HD before using the Admin tool to add/upload...
