Product images via web string

[glycerine]

I currently get a feed from my supplier and for the product images I receive the following string:

 

http://afc.retail.sprint3.com/package/webS...ageCode=21.1024

 

Is there away for oscommerce to use that and display the image.

 

(the numbers at the end are different for each product.)

 

Thanks

What is parsing this feed? Or are you manually inputting the info for each product?

Im using the contrib easy populate to create every item in the store.

Yes you can do it, but it's a horrible way to do it ..

 

tep_image("http://afc.retail.sprint3.com/package/webService/kernel_images_ActualRender.asp?strImageCode=21.1024");

 

Your site will run slow, if you have ssl it will show a broken padlock .. so on and so forth.

Great thanks for that but how would i use it when importing with easy populate?

 

Do i need to change the file(s) for example product_info.php where is says:

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"')

 

to

 

tep_image($product_info['products_image'], $product_info['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"')

 

or am i missing something?

Thanks FWR ive got it working now.

 

What i have done is where is says "DIR_WS_IMAGES" before 'products_image' ive changed it to "DIR_WS_PRODUCT_IMAGES" and defined it in the english.php as ''.

 

Hope this will help anyone else who has the same problem. Also you will have to look through all the different php files taht call the product image and change the directory that it calls it from to "DIR_WS_PRODUCT_IMAGES".

 

Thanks again FWR :D
