Help with catalog image paths

[mark w]

I have had to change this one cart I made into 5 seperate carts, beacuse it was getting to bogged down with thousands of products this company wants online. So I've created the seperate carts fine, and now the question is how to link the pictures from each cart to one directory outside of the cart's directories. I've looked in the configuration.php but I do not know php well or how to change the default image paths to something outside the cart directory. thanks as always.

if you are putting the images directly in you web folder instead of in catalog/images then go to where you have the images defined in your congigure.php and make the change there

I'm getting this error when I changed, /images/ to the direct URL.

 

/home/cbarbcon/public_html/nursing/http://www.cbarbconley.com/images/

 

I figured it wouldn't work, but I decided to try, so now the question is what to change before the link to direct to a directory outside of the cart directory, so it won't lookin inside the cart, "nursing".

 

here is the configure.php:

I'm getting this error when I changed, /images/ to the direct URL.

Just to warn you, doing this really hoses your SSL pages as well (since they will view all your images as coming from insecure sites).

 

Did you try changing

  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

to

  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', '');

That would seem to be where you were getting the /home/cbarbcon/public_html/nursing/, since that is what /home/cbarbcon/public_html/nursing/ looks like.

 

Hth,

Matt

Matt, sorry for the delay, but I still don't understand what's going on.

 

especially now since I've deleted and created new carts, they seem to be giving me a new version of configure.php, here is the new file that I need to edit for my nursing cart:
