No column changes needed I think.
Only code change is needed, which can either display image from local folder or external URL.

Link of either local or external images will be uploaded via data update wizard which is great tool for bulk uploading and updating of products.

Hope that clarifies.

tep_image('images/'

if (str_contains($products_image, 'www')) { 
tep_image($products_image
} else {
tep_image('images/'
}

But not being a coder still struggling to use it properly.

I may not be putting it in a right place properly.

for example,
The file is at /ext/scripts/ajax_buttons.php code, the original code calling image is as below:

Code: Select all

$_POST['image'] = tep_image('images/' . $product_info['products_image']);

By following and changing tep_image('images/' is not working, perhaps it need replacing in a different way.

On the other file at product_info.php the code which displays image is as below:

Code: Select all

new Image('images/' . $active_image['image'], ['alt' => htmlspecialchars( $active_image['htmlcontent'])])

and

Code: Select all

$first_img = new Image('images/' . $active_image['image'], ['alt' => htmlspecialchars($active_image['htmlcontent']), 'loading' => 'lazy']);

Could you please guide how the above few samples can be changed to work properly?

Once I know how to change the above sample code, I will be able to replace others, wherever they need changing.

Kind Regards,

Zee

Code: Select all

if (Text::is_prefixed_by($this->get('src'), 'images/http')) {
  $this->set('src', Text::ltrim_once($this->get('src'), 'images/'));
