Lizbit Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 My products are downloadable images, so when I add a product, I'm uploading images (to the server) that are for sale.When I delete products (images) from my store, will this also delete the photos from the SERVER? Or do I need to do some house keeping and delete the no-longer available photos from my server, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKCRABBIT Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Photos are still on the server, but you replace it with new photos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbit Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Good morning, thanks for the response.So in answer to my question, when I delete products (which are actually images - it's a photography store), I need to go on the server and delete the images as well?Seems when I looked at the photos on my server, they have different names. This will be fun to find/delete the correct ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKCRABBIT Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You dont need to delete it, it would be replace with new photos....And thumbnails names are a little bit same as original....My original:1281.jpgMy thumbnails:1281-183.jpg1281-183-home.jpg1281-183-large.jpg1281-183-medium.jpg1281-183-small.jpg1281-183-thickbox.jpg1281-183-watermark.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbit Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 I guess I am not totally understanding..... I have a folder on my computer of images I want to sell, so I go into Prestashop BO, create a category for this particular event I took photos at. Then, I add product, and click "yes, it's downloadable." I browse to attach the photo to the product, etc. save, etc...In a couple of months I want to remove that entire category (a sporting event) to make room for new photos. So, if I delete that particular category from my store, aren't the images (the photos I have to sell), still sitting somewhere on my server?thanks again for trying to explain this to me.

JAKCRABBIT Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh, yes, you delete only "data" from database, but not from server. Easy way is call your photos like "sportevent_xxxnumber.jpg" and on server, when you doesnt use this product, you know how they call and you can easy to delete it.

Lizbit Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Fortunately, I learned early on about dating the photos - so it will be easy to locate them on the server when I want to remove them after deleting the categories. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
