Images & subfolders

[Alley Kat]

Can't crack this one - very confused... I want a subfolder within 'acatalog' on the webspace, called 'images', and have the product pix live there, and for the pix to be automatically uploaded there by Actinic.

In the PC installation I've got an "images" subfolder within "Site 1", in which the product pix live. The image paths on each product def'n in Actinic show e.g. "images\PU001.jpg".

The Act_ProductImage.html is un-adulterated I think, the path is:
<IMG SRC="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEFILE" etc... >

But the package chucks the pix into the 'acatalog' folder, not 'acatalog/images'. And the IMG SRC in the web pages points to them e.g. "acatalog/UJ006.jpg".

Am I missing something or doing owt wrong?
I would edit the Act_ProductImage.html, but Actinic uploads the imgs in 'acatalog' not 'acatalog/images'.

Cheers all

Just the way it works Bill. I have loads of folders well outside of my site folder so I can keep track of all my pictures - it's a photolibrary so you can imagine how many there are.

When I upload the site Actinic dumps everything into Acatalog.

If you've a particular reason for not having everything in Acatalog then I don't think there's any way around it.

Thanks Chris. Blimey. That seems pretty poor behaviour for something that is supposed to manage thousands of products. O well.

Cheers mate

You could set up a CUSTOMVAR for this then upload the pics by ftp

Yes, there are ways round I guess but some of our clients can barely spell "FTP" let alone use it...:D
