different locations for the images

[porrier]

Hello!

 

Would't it be nice when one could put the images in different subdirectories instead putting all that stuff in one folder? Is there a module available for this?

 

I had a solution for this in the old version 2.2 but I think that does not work anymore with version 2.3.4 and PHP 5.6.1. The changes were made in the categories.php of admin near line 348:

$products_image->set_destination(DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES . $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_destination']);

and near line 351:

$products_image_name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_destination'] . $products_image->filename;

and near line 607:

Image Destination Directory

One could chosse a directory where the pictures were to be stored.

 

I am not a programmer to be able to adapt that old solution to Version 2.3.4 of osCommerce.

 

Regards

I have this working on the BS Gold edition and as far as I remember I made no alterations to get it to work.

Thank you for the link to the mod. I tried to build it in, but the docu mentiones a part that does not exist in my categories.php.

$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'] : '');
        }
        break;

Would you send your admin categories.php to me so I can compare it?

 

It would really be nice to have such a function with different subdirectories for images.

PM sent. Hope it helps as the file has been heavily modded.

I store my images per brand, but I was thinking, this kinda solution looks generic enough to me and might be a good addition to the core - or not ?

Per brand is a good idea if I only would get the thing running. I insert a new directory into the input field but it is not greated. The webserver has write permissions to the images directory.

I'll create it manually and see if it stores the image then.

I save my images by category. I think it makes it easier to find and replace images as the manufacturers update theirs. I also name the images something sensible so they are easy to find, whether it helps with SEO I have no idea.

 

But its down to personal preference.

exactly, that is why this kind of solution is generic enough to work for most people.

Found it in the private message of my account here, thank you! I'll look at it and try to get that thing working. At the moment there is a difference in my categories.php compared to what the doc says.
