Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 i have a question, is there a contribution over there that allow you to add Product Image by cut /copy and paste ? if it works with easypopulate that woudl be fantastic :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I don't understand what you mean? I ftp my images up, then load the products with the image names with easy populate. An easy way to get a list of image names is after you load them via ftp, my version of WS_FTP lets me do a IDR INFO which creates a text list of the files in the directory, which I then ope in excel. Most of my products and image names are the same. to make it easy to enter lots at once.

Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 what i ment is after you easypopulate the products i would like to assign the image to its product through cut and paste instead of the regular option of browse to attach the image , the reason for that in computer business the main identifier for the product is the model name and in 99% of the cases the picture supplied by the manufacture is not the same as the product model .

Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 debra , i think i will try your method for uploading the pictures however i have a question about that :- when you upload teh picture using the ftp do you create a subdirectory based on teh manufature first or you just uplaod teh pcitures and then adjust that after you uplaod teh prodcuts ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some under the manufacturers name and some under other names, but yes, I have them all in subcategories - something I didn't do at first and quickly changed!

JonasD Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi, I'm currently working on a osCommerce shop with all products and categories being managed offline (not in the shop admin). This is beginning to work just fine. The only thing I need now is to get EasyPopulate to support category_images. Is there a easy way to do this, like: .... v_categories_name_1, v_categories_image_1, v_categories_name_2, v_categories_image_2, v_categories_name_3.... and so forth. My hope is to serve EasyPopolate with a .txt containing all my products, descriptions, categories+images once a day... :) Quote Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Jonas Daugaard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I have both pic mods installed, and I uncommented all the image areas, but when I download the spreadsheet, the columns for the extra pics and mo pics are not there?? Any ideas?? , but yes, I have them all in subcategories Loxly, on the spreadsheet for the above do you just put /subfolder/imagename I tried this and nothing happened?? Any help appreciated im a bit stumped :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The category images are in another table, so it is possible to add the fields but would be a bit complicated. Conceivably it should be possible to use something like EP to enter all your data into the database, but this script isn't that comprehensive :) Quote [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I add the colums described above, I think I might be able to update the category-image as well.. . ?

krs Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Just fantastic module. Had been looking for some base code, to make a mod/hack that can export out orders for accounting, and also export out a pricelist for an online priceindex much like Froogle, but not altogether the same. This is perfect for make al kind of exports. Just have to define some filelayouts it seems. Rock'n'roll :-) Most kind regards from a dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkm Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'm using Ian's loaded 5 and can't get the images to work. I've tried uncommenting where it says to // unmcomment these lines if you are running the image mods $query .= . $v_products_mimage . '", "' . $v_products_bimage . '", "' . $v_products_subimage1 . '", "' . $v_products_bsubimage1 . '", "' . $v_products_subimage2 . '", "' . $v_products_bsubimage2 . '", "' . $v_products_subimage3 . '", "' . $v_products_bsubimage3 .

mugitty Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Thurman; Just a shot in the dark... Did you try uncommenting ONLY the picture mods that you are using and leaving the others commented?

I have installed this mod on the above mentioned version of OSC and can get to the upload/download page just fine, however if I click on any of the links or buttons I am taken back to the login page for the admin section.

tcpinhead Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I have it working with Ian's Loaded 5. I am only using mimage and bimage mods. The others should work with similar changes. Here is what I did to get it to work. If you notice any errors let me and everyone else know. around line 850 I changed function ep_create_filelayout($dltype){ global $filelayout, $filelayout_count, $filelayout_sql, $langcode, $fileheaders; // depending on the type of the download the user wanted, create a file layout for it. $fieldmap = array(); // default to no mapping to change internal field names to external. switch( $dltype ){ case 'full': // The file layout is dynamically made depending on the number of languages $iii = 0; $filelayout = array( 'v_products_model' => $iii++, 'v_products_image' => $iii++, ); to function ep_create_filelayout($dltype){ global $filelayout, $filelayout_count, $filelayout_sql, $langcode, $fileheaders; // depending on the type of the download the user wanted, create a file layout for it. $fieldmap = array(); // default to no mapping to change internal field names to external. switch( $dltype ){ case 'full': // The file layout is dynamically made depending on the number of languages $iii = 0; $filelayout = array( 'v_products_model' => $iii++, 'v_products_image' => $iii++, 'v_products_mimage' => $iii++, 'v_products_bimage' => $iii++, ); Shortly after that I uncommented support for linda's header tag stuff 'v_products_head_title_tag_'.$l_id => $iii++, 'v_products_head_desc_tag_'.$l_id => $iii++, 'v_products_head_keywords_tag_'.$l_id => $iii++, then around line 1040 I added reference to the image mods $filelayout_sql = "SELECT p.products_id as v_products_id, p.products_model as v_products_model, p.products_image as v_products_image, to $filelayout_sql = "SELECT p.products_id as v_products_id, p.products_model as v_products_model, p.products_image as v_products_image, p.products_mimage as v_products_mimage, p.products_bimage as v_products_bimage, around line 1515 uncommented image mods $query = "INSERT INTO products ( products_image, products_mimage, products_bimage, added values for the mods I am using around line 1530 (ignoring the uncomment ... as it only gave me trouble) manufacturers_id) VALUES ( '$v_products_image',"; to manufacturers_id) VALUES ( '$v_products_image', '$v_products_mimage', '$v_products_bimage',"; and finally noticed an error in the linda's keywords description for updating products (not new products) that would wipe out keywords of existing products change around line 1670 products_head_keywords_tag = '" . $v_products_keywords_tag[$key] ."' to products_head_keywords_tag = '" . $v_products_head_keywords_tag[$key] ."' Now it seems to work great. I had nearly gone crazy trying to find other ways to enter my information. Hope this helps someone.
