Upload Image

Upload Image - This link brings up a pop-up window which will allow you to browse to the images folder stored on your PC and select the required image to upload it to the website. In order to be able to upload images there should be writable permissions on your shop's "images" folder along with its subfolders (tiny/small/big/super).

Note: if your hosting server has GD library then it is possible to resize images generating smaller images from a larger one (but not vice versa). For example, uploading Super-Sized image to the product you can select to generate Big, Small and Tiny images. Then system will create appropriate images and save them in corresponding folders and also auto-fill these images fields on the tab.

Select Image

Select Image - This link brings up a pop-up window of already available images on your website. By default the directory will be images/[tiny/small/big/super] - the subfolder depends on what image you are uploading. You can select any picture from the list. You can also search for the image by its name using the search block on the top of the page. Near every image there are available three options: Select, View and Delete.

  • Select - On clicking it system will insert this image path in the image field.
  • View - By default on clicking this link system will open this image in a new window.
  • Note: you can change this setting and make the system to show preview image by hovering your mouse pointer over the Image Name field by ticking the checkbox Show image thumbnails on Select Image screen for administrators in System > Global settings.

  • Delete - Clicking this option will delete the image from the database.
You can switch back and forth between Upload Image and Select Image options in the same pop-up window by clicking View Files or Upload File links.
