Moving images location
 

Just upgraded to 4.1.8 from 4.0.19. The move was done by xcart. Before the move my images were in ..../files/images.

After the move they were back in the database, so I chose the file system option and they were moved automatically to ...../images/D & /T how can I get them all to point to the original filesystem location?

Cheers

As a follow up Xcart have advised that the images location cant be changed to point to another file location.

Would that mean I can only rectify by deleting all the images in "Detailed Images" and manually adding them back by browsing to the original image folder location?

Do it by CSV, much faster.

Our images are in a folder located in the root, and our cart is located in a separate folder in the root. We have about 5000-6000 images. Is there a way to load them all to the file location?

My understanding is that we can change the location of the images to file or to database, but our images are in neither location (at this point). I would really rather not load one image at a time, as that process will outlive my lifetime. :-s If I should do this via CSV, can someone walk me through the steps?

Nevermind. I used an FTP product to do move the images. Now the cart can not find them when I import. Our CSV file names are correct, and our image location in the cart administration are set to the location of the images, but we still have not been able to get the cart to recognize our images. Any ideas?

not sure if this works but try the following:


leave the folder names as C,D,T instead of categories, detailed, thumbnails....if not just do a simple rename of the folders

move folders to the files directory, but do not move the images folder

now go to include/func/func.image.php and back it up before continuing...once backed up, edit the file and find the following in function func_image_dir($type)

change to
