uploading img in new category img folder

[igloo]

Hello

I am creating new categories and sub-categories with new products

 

I have created corresponding folders in images dir where should reside the new pictures per new category

 

by default when uploading the images they are sent to images folder root

how can I directly upload my img as the demo shows for example in images sub dir DVD

 

so far I found a way around which is a real pain time wise!

I manually FTP the img in for ex: VHS (new created sub dir in images)

then I let the admin loading new product script doing its job in uploading the img in images root dir

then go back, edit and change the path ...never ending proposition

 

any suggestion?

 

regards

I've created a new folder category inside images but the path can only be seen as far as the images folder, not the new category.

 

e.g. I created a new folder called formac inside images so that I could store my Formac monitor images here, and I put this location in the path but, osCommerce will only recognise images placed in the image folder, not inside a sub folder?????

another one with an image as signature :(

I believe that the rules do not allow this

 

otherwise its my mistake :?

I just found the answer here

BTW was it a signature? or a demo of your above assertions :)

Hi Henry,

 

I've already seen that page. Did it work for you? I tried swapping the last forward slash for a back slash, with no luck.

 

 

 

The signature? I think Druide should get a life, but if it is really upsetting him, I shall of course remove it.

yes it worked for me very well and at first trial

 

if not give a try to my technique which is not elegant and takes time

 

BTW are you sure that you config points to the right img folders from root and that you have the right permissions etc...

 

did you try to load any img by letting the img being loaded to root and not to a specific folder, just to be sure that it works at root level

 

cheers

I was treating osCommerce like a CGI project, once I had uploaded everything I put the original files to one side.

 

What I finally realised was that I should treat all of the files like an actual website and upload from the images folder using the Admin panel.

Somebody can help me? Thanks

did you create the same folder "carretes" in your primary machine and on the server, plus avoid capital letters such as "C" with Carretes

 

also don't/ forget the correct code is

catalog/images/carretescarrete.gif'

and not

catalog/images/carretes/carrete.gif'

if you have another sub-folder then it will be

catalog/images/sub_foldercarretescarrete.gif'

 

also are your permissions ok?

 

if you run Apache and PHP did you check the error log

 

cheers
