aight .. it's driving me crazy .. uploading simple image for products so complicated ever in my live .. WPCommerce/OC/OsCommerce never such this hard.
Changing "small_default" (and all his friends) in to "small" + SEO & Friendly URL's ON/OFF + Moved Image + Regenerate Thumbnails + Legacy bla bla bla .. and other things that i sort out .. never gave me satisfaction .. on some accidentally click, old uploaded images is allright. displayed everywhere except on BO .. but again the NEW PRODUCT that i've been created and insert the image for it .. it won't show it on FO. i do "energy waste" again with "Moved Images" and it's frends .. still wont show ..
and then .. i think this "small_default" should be "important" .. since its from fresh install, i don't think every 1.5.2 installer should tweak it manually to "small" to solve their problem .. so i guess it's "my own prestabugs" due respective prestahop developer effort for all of us.
i solve it with my own way since i don't know and i don't care what is .htaccess, i don't even know how to generate it automatically from prestashop .. (==> i really appreciate if someone could teach me step by step creating or editing .htaccess, i can't found it loud and clear on this forum).
aight .. here is my step,
1. Delete all the current products images (without deleting the current data) - since my data test only 3 record
2. Add manually this preference all the "small_default" but without "_default" .. more to duplicate it. you can see it below .. i don't know what happen when i upload this site in to hosting.
1 small_default 45 px 45 px 2 medium_default 58 px 58 px 3 large_default 264 px 264 px 4 thickbox_default 600 px 600 px 5 category_default 500 px 150 px 6 home_default 124 px 124 px 7 scene_default 520 px 189 px 8 m_scene_default 161 px 58 px 9 small 45 px 45 px 10 medium 58 px 58 px 11 large 264 px 264 px 12 thickbox 600 px 600 px 13 category 500 px 150 px 14 home 124 px 124 px 15 scenes 520 px 189 px 16 m_scene 161 px 58 px
3. Renegerate Thumbnails
4. Add again the images
5. Done.
i don't know the effect if i had old images without deleting it, maybe someone would expreience the differents because you had tons of product images that impossible to add it from zero.
if you think it's wrong way .. please tell the road to heaven .. because this is the way i got to make me happy.
i'll do the best i can to get this pretashop works well (for me .. for now) .. since i want to use it for my own webshop store.
cheers,
ixan.
