Image-Handling: Storage on FTP vs. Storage in DB


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

is there a special reason from the architecture, why (apparently) the direct storage of i.e. product pictures is not supported?

 

For me it would be more convienent, to be able to upload the picture via a form. In contrast to the existing solution, this would mean one step for i.e. product or category creation and not two (uploading, referencing). This could also reduce errors because then you simple cannot put the picture in the wrong place.

 

Any comments?

Not sure what you mean here :?:

 

Do you mean why are the pictures stored as files rather than the database??

Now you have to upload the image file via the filemanager and then you have to manually connect the name of the picture with the name of the file you uploaded before.

 

Other applications offer here the way to upload the picture within the i.e. new-product-form, and then to automatically store the pictures in the database or in the filesystem.

 

I think this this would mean an improvement for osCommerce.

When u add a new product you can add the image by clicking on the browse button.
