Upload images

[asivila]

Hi, everybody, I am new in this and I need help to upload product images. The oscommerce default uses categories and subcategories having directories and images. When I upload using the administrator all the images were saved in catalog/images. I used filezilla to create product_directories in imagen directory but I don´t know how to call from that directories.

 

I'll really appreciate your help

I do it using the easy populate contribution.

 

It comes with excellent documentation.

Hi,Geoffrey Walton,Do you know how to upload bulk specific images by using Easy Populate?Thank you !

EP does not upload images, you need to that using ftp.

 

Then use EP to "point" to the image.

Upload Images to Their Own Folder in the Admin

A large store may require several additional image folders under the folder images to

make the images easier to find and use.

There is a trick to use to upload images into their own folder under the images folder.

There are basically 3 steps:

Step 1 - Create folders in your catalog/images folder to match the categories on your

harddrive and also on your server. Based on the demo catalog you would have folders

called dvd, gt_interactive, hewlett_packard in the catalog/images folder.

NOTE:

Set the permissions on these additional folders to 777.

Step 2 - Upload the images to the appropriate folder on your site.

So dvd images goes in /images/dvd, gt_interactive in /images/gt_interactive and any

subcategories desired.

Step 3 - When images are added via the item description page (in the admin panel), select

the location via the browse button. Right before the image name - change the backward

slash to a forward slash (/).

Example: You have an image named movie.jpg in the hardware category:

oscommercecatalogimagesdvdmovie.jpg of your computer.

The change will look like this:

C:oscommercecatalogimagesdvd/movie.jpg

and in catalog you will see:

dvd/movie.jpg and the picture if you were successful ( remember to upload the image first

).

Subcategories would be similar so if you want to put an image (movie2.jpg) in the good

subcategory for example:

C:oscommercecatalogimagesdvdgoodmovie2.jpg

would be:

C:oscommercecatalogimagesdvd/good/movie2.jpg

and you will see /good/movie2.jpg in the "good" folder.
