images in subdirectory...

[Guest]

I want to do something that seems simple and straight forward, in fact, the default installed product images are organized this way.

 

How do I place my product images in subdirectories inside of the images directory when they are uploaded? i.e. I want a directory images/bathouses/ to contain all my bat house photos, then images/educational/ to contain all the books and so forth. I can browse my local drive but it always uploads into the base image directory.

When you download the osCommerce package, you will find a documentation.pdf in the package. In the pdf file, go to page 110, at the bottom, you will find a section called "Upload Images to Their Own Folder in the Admin". That's it.

Seems not work.

 

You can try this way, and it also what I do.

 

in admin/categories.php, replace

$products_image_name = ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_previous_image'])? $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_store_image'] : '');

with

$products_image_name = (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_store_image']) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_store_image'] : $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_previous_image']);

 

find javascript function updateNet(), after that, add a new function

function storeImage() {

document.forms["new_product"].products_store_image.value = document.forms["new_product"].products_image.value;

}

 

find the file uploading input box around line 570, replace it with

tep_draw_input_field('products_image', '', 'onKeyUp="storeImage()"', false, 'file') . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_store_image')

I will give that a shot. I'd found the reference you'd spoke of but thought I didn't understand it. It seemed simple enough but my upload will not allow me to look at server files nor can I manually enter anything as the preview button stops working.

Where can I find this part? Novice here. Did a search for tep_draw_input_field. What does the file uploading input box line look like? Have something at line 556 or line 580??

 

Thanks
