image url for products.

[timdwyer42]

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to use a link to an image on another server for the product image in Zencart?


I have alot of products and a list of all the image links on my suppliers server.

I know I could download them all then upload them to my site but this is a lot of work and it would be so much easier if I could just use the absolute link to the image on the other server.

Thanks.

I,m not sure this is passable, but I did find a few posts that might help.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did something in the meantime that is working.

I edited includes/configure.php

I changed

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

to

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '');


and the absolute url to the image of my supplier inserted by easy populate is showing up now.


I don't know yet if it will cause any other issues.
