move images folder higher up and point to it?

Hello Folks I've been struggling with this issue for a long time and need serious help:frusty:

I have this setup ( maindomain.com which contains anotherdomain.com which contains testarea.com)

Instead of putting the images in testarea.com as well as maindomain.com I would like to ONLY put it in maindomain.com so when I need images for testarea.com I only point or refer to the images in maindomain.com

I am using easy populate, so what would I write in the v_products_image field?

I've tried many things including /home/account/public_html/images
I also played with configure.php as suggested by this thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122631

[COLOR="DarkRed"]So what do I do to achieve this simple yet seemingly monumental task?

In case you need the stie: 174.132.147.47/warya

Thank you so very much in advance

If you're talking about product images, this, maybe:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1582

You might be able to see how Pro-Webs did this to maybe extend it to other images.

Thanks for the reply but actually the images are not external. They are in my hosting accouont. I am just trying to prevent uploading multiple product images for the maindomain.com and the testarea.com. So basically I would like to upload the images folder (containing product images) but refer to it from within the testarea.com

So basically I would like to upload the images folder (containing product images) but refer to it from within the testarea.com

Doing this allows me to share images with main site:
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'http://megasaveonline.com/images/megaimages/');

however my admin side is showing broken image links when "preview" products. I've tried to add the same line but it does not work. Any help on what I can do here.

I am only using this secondary site as a test area!!!
