Product Images (Storing)

[wstar]

I have a large about of product images coming from our old cart.  I added a few test products and I see the images going into the "p" folder.  But I do not understand the filing structure within it.  Can someone explain?

For example, I just added a new image. and the directory is img/p/4/2/IMAGE.

The structure is a little complicate

 

When you add a image to the product these image has an id you can check out the tables

 

The structure use the image id for example your image is id = 42

 

In these structures of chapter Prestashop create all the sizes for these image id. You can see the image sizes on preferences images to know wich name is asociate for each size

 

 

You can't just upload images you need add these to the tables of images, create the relation with the product and the you can direct copy the images to the chapters

 

You can copy these images with the import product tool use copy on a directory and use the list of images to update all the products these is the easy way if you dont code

Hi There, I'm new in Prestashop, migrating everything from an old OsCommerce site to PS 1.6

As far as I understand, each product image has his own ID. This ID is used in structure. Say image ID 268 then this image is on img/p/2/6/8/268.jpg

 

Sor path is the ID (2/6/8) inside there is the filename with same ID.

 

This structure is very cleaver as you break easily the limits of filesystems. Great point to PS developers.

 

If you import from old site, you have to create the file structure for every image, then also insert values in database. Then you can generate miniatures in backend.

 

Hope this helps.
