Image Time Stamp

Often times, if you have an old image on the shop, and you upload a new one that has the same name, osc will overwrite the image. We can't always remember the names of all of our images.

 

this little feature will simply put a time stamp on it. All images will have a different date on it, it won't repeat. it saves up to the very second.

 

instead of pic1.jpg

 

it reads

 

M-D-T-pic1.jpg

 

M-D-T (month day time)

 

 

Many thanks to Galen who took the hour out to help me figure out why it wouldn't work. I owe him coffee....

 

Trusten....

 

 

here is the code

 

In:



catalog/admin/categories.php





Find:



// copy image only if modified

     $products_image = tep_get_uploaded_file('products_image');

     $image_directory = tep_get_local_path(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES);



     if (is_uploaded_file($products_image['tmp_name'])) {

       tep_copy_uploaded_file($products_image, $image_directory);

       $products_image_name = $products_image['name'];





Replace with:





// copy image only if modified

     $products_image = tep_get_uploaded_file('products_image');

     



// we have an incoming file (temp.zip) in $file

// create stamp

   $now = date("m-d-Y_H.i.s");

 // merge

    $stamped_file = $now . '-' . $products_image['name'];



           $products_image['name'] = $stamped_file; 



     

     $image_directory = tep_get_local_path(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES);



     if (is_uploaded_file($products_image['tmp_name'])) {

       tep_copy_uploaded_file($products_image, $image_directory);

       $products_image_name = $products_image['name'];   









Thanks to galen for figuring out what was wrong with the code. Have fun.

Hi Trusten,

 

Have you any ideas how to make your image timestamp contribution work with oscommerce ms2. I had no problem with ms1 but cant make it work with ms2. I think the image upload function has change in ms2
