Customer Image Uploads ?

[jalfrey]

Add an Option Name, such as UPLOAD ... with the Option Type of: File

Then add the Attribute to the Product using the:
Option Name: UPLOAD
Option Value: TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ATTRIBUTES ONLY]

The files will appear in the directory:
/images/uploads

And be numbered ... these numbers are NOT the orders_id they are the number of the Upload as they happen ...

This will correspond to the number in the Order that says the actual filename that the customer loaded to you ...

One last question on this topic. As described, the uploaded files are saved as 1.jpg, 2.jpg... Also as described, the order email lists the files as 1.image1.jpg,2.image2.jpg, where image1.jpg is the original, uploaded filename. Is it possible for the uploaded file to be named the same as the file listed in the order email: 1.jpg is uploaded and saved as 1.image1.jpg (again, 'image1' represents the original filename). Thanks.

Actually, the Order reads:
Option Name # filename.ext (price)

Example:

- Logo Front: 1. color_blue.gif (+$0.25)
- Logo Back: 2. color_green.gif (+$0.25)

The email reads the same way ... as does the My Account etc. etc.

Where do you see this so goobered up?

I followed the instructions and made sure the permissions are 777. I tested it and no uploads to the image/uploads. Should I get a message confirming the upload?

It does not give any message, but when you hit the insert it should be adding to the:
/images/attributes

by default, unless you change the location ...

You might try testing loading an image to a Product to that directory to confirm it is working ...

hi,

i have followed these instructions:

dd an Option Name, such as UPLOAD ... with the Option Type of: File

Then add the Attribute to the Product using the:
Option Name: UPLOAD
Option Value: TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ATTRIBUTES ONLY]

now when i click the text box it asks me to select an image, i do this... then nothing happens.
Should there be a submit button of some kind?

all i have showing is a text box and a browse button?
I installed tabbed products display so maybe there is some code missing?

[Ajeh]

And what happens when you add the Product to the Cart? Do you find a file has been added to the /uploads directory that is numbered?

[evilonion]

hi,

No, i select the image... the path of the image shows in the text box... click add to cart and the product goes to cart, nothing is uploaded via ftp.

uploads is set to 777

[Ajeh]

When looking in the /uploads directory via FTP ... be sure to refresh to see new files ...

In phpMyAdmin, if you browse the table:
files_uploaded

do you see the upload filename?

the file in the /uploads will be numbered with the files_uploaded_id plus the same file extension as the original file ...

[evilonion]

it's coming up empty.
so it's not working at all which is odd.

I can only guess that there is some code missing perhaps?

What is the file extention that you are trying to test with on the upload?
