Problem with Product Images

dbltoe:

An even better representation of the probblem is at https://russianradiantsa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=63&products_id=1309.

One item picking up ten images instead of just the one matching the product's image filename.

Doing a workaround with DBIO means hours of work on each weekly input.

This is one of those things that would send someone to S h o p i f y.

I don't know why import of all product to even a single picture subdirectory (already going to one single directory why not another) would increase the workload by any amount. It's a one time change to the import code to prefix the image filename if not present.

But, no worries, there is a code change with an additional database switch to be considered. Why it would need to be in a database setting requiring a full version change beats me, since there is a hidden away set of store settings file that can further be abused right now: includes/extra_datafiles/dist-site_specific_overrides.php

That is, after you copy and rename the file to site_specific_overrides.php, then also make sure that you review what will be affected by the setting(s) chosen to be sure your selection won't out right break your store.

Great!
I'll explore making it a configurable setting in v2.1.0

Would think should look to provide update support to assist in identifying this new change to those trying to do an update, some form of database check when doing a database upgrade, to then provide a report of some type. Would suggest offering moving the image(s), but that falsely assumes they are on the server when running the database upgrade. Or perhaps incorporating some sort of image management tool into the zc_plugins directory so that a user that has been struck by this change might more easily address it directly.

Unfortunately, this fix does not work with 2.1.0 :(

Still the same problem in 2.1.0

Also unfortunately, does not work is not very descriptive. What setting is in use for Configuration :: Images :: Additional Images matching pattern? What "doesn't work"?
