Product Images?

[SimonWard]

Hello,

 

Im trying to configure oscommerce to upload the product images to a sub dir, so the path would be

 

' images/productimage/ ' rather than ' images/ '

 

However im not having much luck.

 

Anyone?

Your question is missing something so I will try to quess what you need to do.

 

You create a folder called product_images and load those images inside that folder and then upload to your server.

 

When you are asked for your image while creating a product discription your location would be images/product_images/name_of_image.extention and do not brows for it.

 

You may get a warning that no file was uploaded and this will be correct as you did not upload a file.

Sorry mistake,

Thats is similar to what i want to do, but im really after changing the dir so when i upload a image from the ' add product ' page its stored in ' images/product image/ '

 

Really i just want to change the code to where the add product uploads the file and where the system looks for the product images.

Just taking a logical wild whack but in includes/configure.php, would this not work?

 

Existing Line 23:

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

Existing Line 24:

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

 

Change Line 23 to:

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'product_images/');

 

or

 

Leave Line 23 alone and add:

define('DIR_WS_PRODUCT_IMAGES', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'product_images/');

 

In the above case, you'd need to edit the code for the products' call "DIR_WS_IMAGES" to "DIR_WS_PRODUCTS_IMAGES" (everywhere it appears) so you don't affect the other non-product images that are in your images/ directory.

 

There's probably a Contribution for this. I have no clue which one it would be.

Just a couple of options:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...earch,image+sub

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,image+tree

 

HTH

[SimonWard]

the last one sounds good, wonder if it will work for products already inputted within the system

Take a peek at V1.2 date 5 Sept 2004. I think this one will do what you want.

So it does ;)

It did work, but when i went into the categories section within the admin area, it would load, came up with php errors, so i removed the errors and then every time i would press the edit, move, copy, delete buttons it would skip the whole process and go back to the original.
