Batch Upload Images (in Archive?)

[JangoF 0]

Hi all,

 

I'm new to osCommerce, so I have been spending the last few days scourging the forums and the contributions to see if I can find anything useful. Since I need to import thousands of products, I found Easy Populate to be simply brilliant. However, on the flip-side, I have yet to find an equally brilliant way of uploading 1000 images (through the browser, not FTP).

 

I am wondering how osCommerce handles images. I see from the standard installation that there is one folder for each manufacturer. I have two main categories on my test-site, and 3-5 subcategories for each of them. It is possible to make it so that it uses only one folder for all products (all my product names are unique, and so are the image names)?

 

What I am looking for is a script/contribution that lets me upload one zip archive of images to the image folder, which then extracts them automatically. Does something like that already exist, or would it be hard to create?

 

 

Hope my questions were not too confusing. Thanks for any answers. ;)

I don't know of anything doing that, but you could use fireFTP plugin for the firefox browser. Still you would need to select all the files and upload them one by one, no unzipping at the server level.

Note, if you use a FTP client you can typically upload complete directories, so you don't have to select every individual file, you just have to watchout on teh server to put it in the correct directory so that your image paths stay correct.

Not exactly what I was looking for, so I guess I have to keep looking. :rolleyes:
