Changing upload to local

[Guest]

I've posted in the ultrapics thread, but it looks pretty dead, and I think this could be easily fixed, I just can't figure out how to do it.

 

I want to add the product image manually rather than having to browse and upload a pic from my local system. This code is in the categories.php page, and I'd need to change it on all the multiple pics code.

 

// copy image only if modified
  if (($HTTP_POST_VARS['unlink_image'] == 'yes') or ($HTTP_POST_VARS['delete_image'] == 'yes')) {
	$products_image = '';
	$products_image_name = '';
	} else {
	$products_image = new upload('products_image');
	$products_image->set_destination(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES);
	if ($products_image->parse() && $products_image->save()) {
	  $products_image_name = $products_image->filename;
	} else {
	  $products_image_name = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_previous_image']) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_previous_image'] : '');
	}
	}

 

As you can see, it's calling for an upload. I want to type it in manually because all my product pics are already on the server and don't need to be uploaded. As an aside, even when I try to upload from my server it doesn't work.

 

Anybody have a clue how I can change this code?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey Deb, there's a contribution called osc File Browser you install that changes the admin so you can pick files from the images folder rather that upload them.

 

There are a few things required, so read the install closely and be sure you meet all the requirements before attempting an install.

;)

 

oscFileBrowser

 

I don't know about the latest versions. I installed the "latest" as of this last April.

[Guest]

I actually have that installed, but it's an old version. I'll see if the newer version will help. Thanks hon!

[Guest]

Germ,

 

Do you have a clue though how I could just have the field as a type in rather than a browse? I'd so much rather type the damn thing in. It's faster than having to browse.

[Guest]

Yeah, I can't use the updated one. PHP5 required.

Besides, Ive got the old one installed, but the upload still points to my local machine rather than the server.

I know this is got to be pretty easy to change the path that the upload is pointing to, but since I'm a ditz with php, I can't figure it out....

 

Maybe a path in admin/configure.php to point to the server for uploads????

Filebrowser has a config file of it's own:

 

/admin/includes/filebrowser/config.php

 

Have you got it set up correct?

:unsure:

 

I didn't have much problem with the version I installed other than the popup window with the image file names has a rather lengthy blank space at the top which made it look like it wasn't working.

 

After I saw the scroll bar on the right side and scrolled down everything was peachy.

[Guest]

Yeah, but UltraPics uses its own calls within admin/includes/categories.php

It doesn't call any filebrowser pages. When I click on browse, it goes to my local machine, not the server.

 

I just want to be able to type in the file path myself. This should be so simple...I don't want to use anything but my keyboard :o

 

I'm so frustrated I could scream. I think I'll just dump the whole thing if I can't get it figured out by tomorrow. I can't be adding new products via the sql table. What a p.i.a!

You should look at the DOWNLOADS input form. That is a field that allows you to type in the file name or file path for a file that already exists in your filemanager..

 

I will look in my download store to see if i can find it for you

[lindsayanng]

here is what i found.. MAYBE it can help you

	   if (DOWNLOAD_ENABLED == 'true') {
	  $products_attributes_id = tep_db_insert_id();

	  $products_attributes_filename = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_attributes_filename']);

 

	   


			  <td class="smallText"><?php echo TABLE_TEXT_FILENAME; ?></td>
<td class="smallText"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('products_attributes_filename', $products_attributes_filename, 'size="15"'); ?> </td>

 

i think this is what you REALLY were looking for:

	$file_name = '';
	if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename']) && !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename'])) {
	  $file_name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename']);
	}
	if (tep_not_null($file_name) && file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG_DOWNLOAD . $file_name)) {

Thanks hon!

[lindsayanng]

did that help?? I hope so, because i only read code as good as i speak spanish... asi asi.

[Guest]

LOL! I'm going to try it after dinner & Dexter B)

[Guest]

Nope...not the right code, but thanks anyway!

[lindsayanng]

Something in there had to be the right code.. i mean, i guess i might have missed some sections, you do want the same function as what the downloads does..

 

if (($HTTP_POST_VARS['unlink_image'] == 'yes') or ($HTTP_POST_VARS['delete_image'] == 'yes')) {

$products_image = '';

$products_image_name = '';

} else {

$products_image = $file_name = '';

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename']) && !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename'])) {

$file_name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['input_filename']);

}

$products_image->

if (tep_not_null($file_name) && file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $file_name)) {

if ($products_image->parse() && $products_image->save()) {

$products_image_name = $products_image->filename;

} else {

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

}

}

I just uninstalled the silly thing. Thanks for trying!
