Product Image Manager/Library Module ?


Recommended Posts

I have spent the last few days searching the internet trying to find a module that is available on several major other carts, but no luck.

 

Many carts offer the ability to upload in mass images to an image library that then can be used as product images and sometimes even in the html. The html is not that important to me, but it seems the ability to have an image library that one could choose their image for a product would be helpful.

 

Unless I am missing something major in Prestashop (and that has happened before), does anyone know of a module that provides that kind of image library?

Yes, that is correct. Something like that. I have thousands of products where the specifications cannot be seen in an image (head gaskets for an engine). So for those type of products it would make sense to continue to use the same picture over and over again instead of uploading the same picture over and over again. I realize I can change the picture location in the SQL database for each product and avoid the duplicate uploads. But we also have parts where the main picture is different, but we may have additional pictures (such as installation pictures) that are the same for several parts.

But according to the prestashop image architecture each and every product have different folder and they generate separate folder and then each folder they generate all thoses images which need like home_default,medium_default

 

when the seo url active the image url is generate by product id, and the assigned image id

 

so it will be not affective if there is add any image manager, in that case image manager need to move those images to the particular product id folder.

 

I think you got my point.

I understand and I did see how Prestashop puts images all over the place :) An image manager would have to keep track of this stuff and I think it could if hooked into the SQL database. It was a hope that something existed as I know it would be a complicated module. It is just one of those features I see other carts having and was a little surprised it didn't exist in PS. But it is also not a deal breaker :)
