    Default New images folder doesnt show in product directory drop down menu when adding product

    Hello, I added a new category with new products in my Admin-->Catalog-->Category/Products and I wanted to have a new folder in my images/ so I can add my images to it for this new category. I tried adding a folder to images/New Folder and when I went to a product and selected from the directory drop down menu the new folder wasn't in the list. How can I get it to show?

    HOW did you create that folder, and WHAT did you call it?

    Well I just created a folder named Dolls and uploaded it to my www/images folder and that's it. This is on my test site on my PC. Thanks!

    You can verify an image by putting the URL into your Browsers.

    i.e.
    rbackyard . net/images/Dolls/someImage

    If the image shows in your Browser then you can check permissions on your images directories. If not 777 you should see an error msg. in your Admin when working with a Product.

    The problem is that the folder isn't showing up in the list of folders in that images directory when I try to select a folder to put my image in. Do i have to create these folders before I install Zencart so they are recognized?

    Yes, any image sub-directory needs to be created manually and with 777 permissions.

    If I recall correctly though, Zen Cart will only show 1 level of image sub-directories.

    i.e.
    images/sub1 << will show in drop list when adding/editting a product

    images/sub1/subA << will not show but can still be used
