/image folder, too much images inside...how to solve?

[dreamwalker]

simple problem. With 3.000 images in the same folder, ftp doesn't open anymore the folder, and i can't work.

I have 25.000 products....so it's impossible to fill the folder with 25.000 images...how can i do?

Fabrizio,

 

I have clients with 50,000 products with images for each and there is no problem accessing the directory. You may be restricted by your internet connection speed, website hosting connection limits and/or webspace restrictions.

i have no limit in space, if i create 200 folder inside image folder, each one with 1.500 images it works properly, the problem is if i put all images in the same folder..... so i don't think is webspace.....or not?

[Guest]

Fabrizio,

 

No, I wouldn't think webspace would be a problem then. Perhaps try using a different FTP client ? I am just guessing about the problem you're having as I have never had an issue like the one you are incurring.

Various hosting services have different limits on how many files an FTP client can deal with. For example, the one I use can't handle more than 2000 per directory. Ask your host what their limit is.

my host is www.aruba.it, I contacted them, and they told that is a windows problem, that can't handle more than 3 or 4.000 files in the same folder. They say that placing so many files in the same folder could create hardware problems too......I don't know if this is real or not......but I found these:

Obviously in this, the problem is that oscommerce read the images from /image directory, but not from the subdirectory, and i think that if modified, it would need a lot of time to search the images from many folders....

There are a few add-ons which will allow you to add images into sub-folders

[dreamwalker]

@ toyicebear: for oscommerce 2.3? Do you know the name or the link? (and, if I found it for 2.2 i can use anyway on 2.3?)

[♥toyicebear]

Close to all mods for 2.2 can be modified to work with 2.3

[dreamwalker]

it's simple to modify or need to be known php?

let me know if you remember the name of the contribution for that purpose of the sub-folders

Click me>>

[dreamwalker]

The link it's for all image contributions.....you selected one or it was to show me all?

[♥toyicebear]

Its for several optional image mods with sub-folder possibilities...so you can take your pick of the one you want to use based on the descriptions of functionality added by the authors.

[dreamwalker]

and about a forum? You know if there's some contribution? I tryied to search using the search field but if i write "forum" it gives me a lot of contributions but not for having a forum on the site

[dreamwalker]

Probably you can't help me, but I try: I have this errors:

 

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'xxx' (using password: YES) in /web/htdocs/www.xxx.it/home/indicizza/fmenu.php on line 17

Could not connect to DB

 

the lines 01/19 are these:

 

<?php

class DB {

var $ident;

// var $sql = array('host'=>DB_SERVER,'user'=>DB_SERVER_USERNAME,'pass'=>DB_SERVER_PASSWORD,'db'=>DB_DATABASE);

 

//$DB->set($dbconfig['db_server'], $dbconfig['db_username'],$dbconfig['db_password'], $dbconfig['db_name']);

 

function set ($host, $user, $pass, $db){

$this->sql['db'] = $db;

$this->sql['host'] = $host;

$this->sql['user'] = $user;

$this->sql['pass'] = $pass;

}

 

function connect (){

// Si connette a MySQL

$this->ident = mysql_connect($this->sql['host'], $this->sql['user'], $this->sql['pass']);

 

 

What can be the problem?
