FireHawk Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi, When i add any new pictures to an existing product, or to a newly created product, the folder prestashop creates in the img/p/ directory has wrong permissions everytime. I have to go into my FTP and alter these permissions all the time. I have to set them to 775 so that the images will show. Am i missing some code somewhere in a file that should set this?

Carl Favre Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi FireHawk, Is the permission of your img/ folder and subfolders set to 755 or 775? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHawk Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Both img and p folders are set to 775 When i create a new picture, it sets the new folders created to 744 No idea why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_c Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Both img and p folders are set to 775 When i create a new picture, it sets the new folders created to 744 No idea why Are you with 123-reg? This is a recent change to Prestashop. Before, the images were all in a single folder. My host and I'm sure many others do not allow applications to create new directories and set the security and so it is an absolute nightmare to administer. I think there are some other threads on this but I'm unsure as to whether this will be fixed in the next release or even why this change was made.

FireHawk Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes i am with 123-reg. Not had any other problems with PS creating directories with correct permissions though. Just on the image ones. I understand why the change was made. Having all images in one folder made it slow and difficult to find images. At present when i add more items with images i do all my creation work then use my ftp and set permissions on img/p folder to include all subdirectories as well. This then goes through all folders and changes the new ones all in one go. Take a few minutes to go through it all, but saves going into each one, one by one. Still a pain in the butt though. I wonder if there is something that can be added into the code somewhere when a new folder is created to set the folder permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I've never had a need to go through the image directory to find an image and do not know why you would want to? It's all done from the admin side.

FireHawk Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I wouldn't normally have to go to the image directory but as the folder permissions are set wrongly by the PS code or something, i have to go there to change the permissions so that the images show. Not ideal but at least i can get around the problem for now. Just wonder if there can be something done about it thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change has made no difference to the performance whatsoever. I have never had a need to go into the image directory to find images. I would prefer all product images to be kept in the same directory. The change has made administrating my store an absolute nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHawk Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Right, i got in touch with 123-reg and they gave me 2 replies.... Reply 1... 123-Reg do not offer comprehensive scripting, coding or debugging support I'm afraid so the first point of correction should be the software author or vendor themselves who have created the software you have installed as they will have experience of the application. Any server side amendments that are needed to allow your scripts to run that the software vendor advise our engineers will then consider implementing server side for you. However I must stress to the vendor, we here have NO experience of 'Prestashop' software at all. If there is any issue with your hosting, we will be happy to amend if possible -but the vendor will need to give us some kind of idea what should be amended -as we do not have any other issues with other software running on our servers at all. Reply 2... I can confirm that the new folders that are created on the Linux hosting package have permissions set to 775. However, if the directories created by Prestahop itself have different permission sets, then most probably your open source program overrides them already. Please make sure that you have not set up a permission override rule in site's settings. Could there be some other area where prestashop is setting folders to a different permission?? Or can there be something done between prestashop and 123-reg to get them to accept permission settings from the scripts running? Anymore help on this would be greatly appreciated. On a side note... Thinking of how the old picture layout savedthe images. If i revert back to the old style, would the pictures already in the new format (img/p folders) stay there and work fine? Then any new images created go into the old folders? Just i have a few hundred moreproducts to list and all have different images so having to alter folder permissions manually is very time consuming.

They are never going to make a change like this. I really wish Presta would revert back to the old way of doing the product images. It takes me around 3 times longer to upload products now.
