Image confusion

I am sure i am going crazy ... everytime i go to upload via admin .. browse for the turquoise image and select CzechGlassSeed directory .. from the drop down box and then select preview .. i get no picture available.

These are the two sides of my FTP
Local
/Users/amanda/Documents/BroomeBeads/images/CzechGlassSeed/

Remote
/webspace/httpdocs/images/CzechGlassSeed

Are they correct .. i look n i look n i dont see .. when i type this in my url .. i see the image

Re: Image confusion

It is really difficult trying to establish exactly what you are struggling with.

Your images are not showing up against your products, because the location on the server does not match the location specified in the database.

If I call up one of your products, I don'e see an image - so I look at the PAGE SOURCE of the browser, and see that the product image is supposed to be in the images folder:-

<img src="images/1185CeriseKad167.jpg"

You are telling us that you are FTP-ing your images to:

/images/CzechGlassSeed/

So what is happening is that your database is saying that it should just be in:-
/images/

But you have stored the actual image in:
/images/CzechGlassSeed/

You have TWO choices...

  1. Either FTP your images into the main images folder.

  2. Or re-specify the PATH in the database.

To do 2. You need to call up each product in your shop admin console (product edit screen) :-

(There are ways to do this with a SQL command, but I don't feel it appropriate to confuse you any more than you already are...)
