Hello!

I need to know how to change an image. I want it to be super simple: just type in the new path in the box. I haven't been uploading the images, I've set it up so that the admin user uploads their entire image file, then in the new products form, they type in the path to the image they want to use. For example if they have a product image in the kenny directory of the images/products/path, they would type kenny/kenny image.jpg to call it, instead of hitting the browse button. This works the first time you make the product, but you can't modify the images this way. I have them doing it this way b/c I added fields to the bottom of the form: Image 1, Image 2, 3, and 4. This is b/c they needed more images than what was offered with SquirrelCart originally. These extra images are called directly by the html of the product display page in the cart front end. These are my favorite, b/c all I have to do to change the image is type in a new path. But this technique doesn't work for the squirrel cart coded images (featured image, etc), but I need it to b/c the client is never going to be able to muddle through the phpMyAdmin!

Please help!

Thanks,
Lindsay

Hello,

What version of Squirrelcart are you running?

The newer versions (v1.3.0 and higher) have more advanced image handling options and allow you to simply type the path to an image.

I'm running 1.1.0. I'm a little afraid to upgrade b/c I don't want to lose my custom fields (Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4) but I guess I can just add them back in (I just have to remember how I did it!).

Thanks Rich.
