Documentation is wrong?!

Ok first off, I've read through both of these pages, three times each.

Both say the exact same thing regarding Sub Category Nesting, but this procedure is not working for me when I follow the instructions.

I have created the folders on the server, & uploaded the appropriate images.

The path I want to have the image located at is:

catalogimagesProduct_picturesdenimdenim_bag01.jpg

I am manually editing the path that the image is uploading from (reduntantly) on my machine in the admin's catalog section to be:

"C:Documents and SettingsJasonDesktopSitecatalogimagesProduct_pictures/denim/denim_bag01.jpg"

OSC continues to place the image in catalogimages

Why this won't work for me?

The only thing I could possibly think of is maybe the path to the file on my machine is to long/deep(?)

Hi,

This is not working in ms2 for some reason.

I have a bug report in and will have to wait to change the wiki site.

You can change this in the database itself which goes pretty fast with search and replace.

Can you please explain exactly how this is done? Thanks.

Hi,

First, you setup your folder inside of images and put all your products in it.

Then, in phpmyadmin click on the database name.

Click the "export" link on the right.

Export and open the "products" table only.

When this table opens you will see the "products image" column with the images listed like image.gif.

Depending on how your images are named you can do a search and replace and put the name of the folder in front of it like this:

folder/image.gif

or copy and paste the folder name folder/ in front of each image.

After finished click on the database name link on the left again.

On the right empty the products table.

Click on the sql link at the top right.

Copy and paste your new sql file into the sql box and save.

This will put your products back with the new path to all your images.

I'll take it phpmyadmin is a program that doesn't come with OSC?
