Go to Option Name Manager ...
Create an Option Name: Load Image Here
Pick: File (from the drop down)
Click Insert

Go to Attributes Controll ...
Find your Product ...
Pick from Option Name: Load Image Here (File)
Pick from Option Value: TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ONLY ATTRIBUTES]
Click Insert

Now when the Product is ordered you will find the image in the /images/uploads directory and that will have a number for the filename and the matching extention to the original file ...

Looking at the Order, you will see the number next to the original filename on the Order details ...

We will be re-writting the Uploader for the Products in a future release ...

Hello!
About this: I just found some pictures of some clients that abandoned the cart and that's showing me that there is a reason why they did it. I try the same thing like them and I realized that there is no confirmation that the file was uploaded [like on Kijiji, for example, where you can see a small thumbnail].
Did you re-write the code?

Thank you!

It is very old code that needs to be addressed in a future release to make it more friendly to both the Customer and Store Owner ...

So, there is a solution?
If there is I would like to use it, even if it's ancient!!!

No ... it means this is very old code that we need to re-write for a future release ...

So once the image is uploaded by a customer is it possible to access it through a browser? Or is FTP the only way to get the file?

If it can be viewed through the browser I would have modified some code in the shopping cart to show a thumbnail of the uploaded image. It seems however that the image cannot be seen.

Please confirm.

Hi My customers upload images and I retrieve them via ftp.

is there a way for the customer to see that the upload was successful by displaying a thumbnail back to them so that they can see it after they uploaded it. I know there is a little green bar appears at the top with text saying when they have been successful but a few of my customers seem to think they were unsuccessful and re-upload their photos again and again.
You know when you upload your own photos during product creation, you get to see a preview, this would be ideal.
Am I missing this option in the configuration somewhere?
Many thanks

There's a htaccess file in the images/uploads directory - if deleted the iamge files can be seen from a browser as well.

Of course this could be a security hazard because then anyone could type in the a file number and see al pics on the directory one by one.

This can be gotten around by making the uploaded file having a random extension or the customer id or some other change in the name instead of the just the serial number. This has been shown in another thread somewhere on the forum.

Adding more than one file would be good to have as well.

It's just a matter of telling the customer how to upload the multiple images. Add a note like "To add multiple images, use your "back" browser button, select the additional image and add to cart, repeat as needed. When finished, continue through checkout".

I tried it and it created an entry in the shopping cart for each image added. Not really pretty but it gets the job done.
