how do i do this?

[FINEGIFTS]

i would like to move my images to folders by catagoy name how do i do that ?

 

for instance the catagoie dvd has a folder with all the images in it and computer stuff has images in it....

 

well i am wanting to do the same thing but eveytime i link to the picture in the folder it puts it in the images folder and i delete the one in there and it shows up as red X and will not pick it up in the approriate folder?

 

 

Thanks in advance

It can be done doing this:

FTP your images to the selected folder.

Use phpMyAdmin on table products, to change the path-names in field products_image.

 

If you have Access 2000, you could use myODBC:

ok just to be sure about this this is what i do right

 

 

Step 1 . upload all the pictures to the appropriate folders.

step 2 . go into phpmyadmin in the products_image table

step 3 . link to the images now when i did this the file name was just a picture file no path to do i need to include the full path to the file for eg. c:httpdhtdocscatalogimagescatagorie_of_picturefilenae.jpg

 

right or can you explain better i downloaded the odbc thing i am going to thumb thru it just in case it dont have this i am posting this message.

Step by step:

1. Create folders with your ftp-program.

2. Upload images to where they should be

3. Change field products_image in table products to:

main_cat/sub_cat/29115.jpg

Note: the image-folder path is allready defined in configure.php, so the above actually points to:

http://www.yourdomaine.com/catalog/images/...b_cat/29115.jpg.

 

As for the myODBC-tutorial, I didn't write it, just used it, and found it working first time.

lol i thought i had it going but now this is becoming more than i thought when i add a new product to the thing it puts it right into the images folder again so now i have 2x the pictures on my server when i browse the folder and select the image is there a way to make it stay in the folder and not go anywere else?
