External image URL Length limit

[muraduk]

Hi i have incorporated and edit website to accept the images from a external source...

 

This works fine...... but i am finding that some of the images are not being displayed is becuase the image URL is too long

 

e.g hxxp://www.atssitecentre.co.uk/images/products/37000/5006037098f.jpg

 

is only displaying as

 

hxxp://www.atssitecentre.co.uk/images/products/37000/5006037098f

thus not displaying...

 

Does Osc have a limit on URL length for images, and if so how do we increase this length

 

Hope someone can help..

 

Thanks in advance...

I hope this will help

1. make your database backup!

2. in notepad paste code below:

<?php

require ('includes/application_top.php');



$result = mysql_query($query);
$sql_query = mysql_query("ALTER TABLE  `products` CHANGE  `products_image`  `products_image` VARCHAR( 202 )") or die (mysql_error());

echo 'ready';

?>

in this case image url length will be 202

3. save this file as e.g. image_length.php

4. copy this file to your store catalog

5. go to yourstoreadres.com/image_length.php

6. Ready now you can add image url much longer

7. Delete image_length.php from your store catalog
