Images directory and easy populate

[DrByte]

It doesn't matter how smart you think EP is, if you don't put the actual images up on the server, they can't be displayed.

Case in point:
This product: http://3dsgifts.com/pokerstore/index...oducts_id=1173
also found here: http://3dsgifts.com/pokerstore/index...e=products_new
is looking for this image: http://3dsgifts.com/pokerstore/image.../10-ds-1ks.jpg
But that image file doesn't exist on your server.


Of course, you have another error about missing short-description fields, etc, too, but that's an unrelated matter.

Ok doc i think i have got the images thing worked out.
I deleted the images folder and then re-uploaded.

Now when i click a product to view the description i receive this error:

1054 Unknown column 'pd.products_short_desc' in 'field list'
in:
[select p.products_id, pd.products_name, pd.products_short_desc, pd.products_description, p.products_model, p.products_quantity, p.products_image, pd.products_url, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, p.products_date_available, p.manufacturers_id, p.products_quantity, p.products_weight, p.products_priced_by_attribute, p.product_is_free, p.products_qty_box_status, p.products_quantity_order_max, p.products_discount_type, p.products_discount_type_from, p.products_sort_order, p.products_price_sorter from products p, products_description pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = '859' and pd.products_id = p.products_id and pd.language_id = '1']

This obviously has something to do with EP but i am using the same product sheets for this site as i did for the main site and i have no problems on it.

No, that has nothing to do with EP. The error message is telling you that it's trying to read data from a field called "products_short_desc", but that field doesn't exist in your database. That's because you've got PHP files for a short-description addon installed, but you're using a database that doesn't have the required components in it.
You're apparently trying to duplicate your site but going about it sloppy.

i have reuploaded all of my images which seemed to work.
the image u sent me the link to did exsist. in the images2 directory
not sure why it wouldnt display but, the re-upload worked.

Now there is the matter of the issue you pointed out to me.
What would i need to do to fix this?

If "the issue" is the half-installed short-description mod, then you'll need to decide whether you want it or not. If you want it, finish installing it fully. If you don't want it, finish removing it fully.
