Images in separate folder

[Guest]

How do you get images to upload to distinct folder? I stand the risk of overwriting my images with different image with similar name.

what do you use to upload you images?

i misunderstood:

 

think you need to edit path for images in here - admin/includes/configure.php

Thanks Yesudo. but I don't understand. do you mean anytime I need to upload an image to a specific folder I have to alter configure.php first?

 

This is what I am trying to achieve. I have two manufactures, Cannon, HP. both sell printers and both provide me with an image called printer.jpg. I need to be able to put printer.jpg in the subfolder of image called cannon and HP as opposed to the root image folder to avoid overwriting both.

 

How do I achieve this? thanks.

where is the printer.jpg shown for each manufacturer?

 

you could name the cannon images - c_printer.jpg

and the hp images - hp_printer.jpg

 

otherwise

 

create subfolders one named cannon and one named hp and ensure the path to these folders is correctly set-up where you want to display the images.

 

hope this helps.

I like you second solution, creating the folders. But how do I direct the uploaded image to reside on that created folder?

 

Anytime you add and image to a product, it just gets uploaded to the images folder. How do I get it to upload to Canno or HP as the case may be.

 

Thanks for your help.

my second option was if you had them on site but uploaded manually.

 

this is difficult because i think you can only define one upload destination - unless you can do a lot of coding - which i am not sure how to do.

 

option one is probably your best bet.

unless you can do it within bulk upload which i am just trying out now
