Thank you for the rapid response, I did not know if I would get one or not.
But most of it went clear over my head. I am sorry, I do not understand. You talk about php and files. I am not a coder, I simply want to add images to my products.
I want to be able to have product A and add 6 images by opening a folder called productA, not some meaningless number. And I don't want to have to sort through 40 pages of images to do it, either.
What do I have to do to Click on the + button on the Product Media page and under images show different folders, not every image on the server?
hm...
You want to switch on another product on RL dialog? i dont understanding you.
we have no any "folders" in RL-dialog. RL is logical storage.
How do I get to just ProductA images?
What you mean "get"? php-code?
In RL-dialog click on tab with product name and you'll get all images of product.
I have uploaded one folder of images, but it does not show up. Which directory on the server should I upload the folder containing images, as there are several. Where should the initial folder go so it is picked up for thumbs and such?
Your files it's just files into directory. To become "resource" you need write information of this into database. Path and name of file.
We have migration tool for this. It automatically takes file and write it in directory tree and makes writes into database.
If you want to store files in your own directory tree you need to use export/import section.
Every resource may have any path inside resource directory . You just need to write it path into database correctly.
If i see right:
1. You can copy files into resource/image directory
2. create well formatted file with correct pathes for files and fill it into system->data->export/import .
but ii think it's painful way and takes a lot of time.
Thumbnails creates on-the-fly into image/thumbnails directory. You can clean it manually and it's will recreates after request of image.
One resource image can have few thumbnails with different sizes.
Also, out of 6 or 8 of the first images I did upload into the general Images section, half were "too large". Again, these are images I am using on half a dozen or more OC sites (and others) with no problem. Am I going to have to re-size half my images?
What is the maximum file size for jpg images?
it depends on upload_max_size directive in your php.ini. Try to read about this here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesizeAlso file_uploads and post_max_size. If you don't want to digg into this - ask your hosting provider or try to find phpinfo page in your CPanel and look there.
If you fill files manually, for ex via ftp, filesize have no limitation.
I hate to make an issue out of this, like I am giving you a hard time, but I do like so much about the script, I'd love to use it. But I am not a coder and do not wish to ever edit a file, although I will maybe go into a language file or something simple like that. But code? No way, I am a USER, not a coder.
I don't mind playing around a bit, but I do have a deadline and would like to get this going with your cart.
