Uploading Images

You can upload images using Squirrelcart, or using FTP. This page explains both methods.

 

Uploading Images Using Squirrelcart
  1. Open a record with an image field
    You will need to open a record, and navigate to an image field that you want to assign an image to. Refer to the Working With Records section for guidance.
  2. Click the Browse Button
  3. Locate the image
    You should now have a dialog box asking you to select an image file. Locate the image that you want to upload on your computer, and select it. The field to the left of the browse button should populate with the path to the image file you just selected.
  4. Save Changes
    Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page
  5. Confirm upload
    You should see something similar to this:


    You will then be returned to the table that you were working on.

 

If you receive an error when attempting to upload, it is most likely due to a problem with permissions. Check the installation section to make sure you assigned permissions properly. 

Uploading Images Using FTP

We recommend that you upload your images using Squirrelcart, as described above. You can, however, upload images in bulk via FTP if you wish.

  1. Determine which folder to upload to
    You will need to upload your images to the correct folder within your images folder. This is the same sc_images folder that you uploaded during the installation. See below to determine which folder you will be using:

        For products           --> sc_images/products
        For categories         --> sc_images/categories
        For options            --> sc_images/options
        For option choices     --> sc_images/option_choices
    
  2. Upload your images
    This varies depending on your FTP client. See your FTP Client's documentation for instructions.
  3. Change permissions (optional)
    If you want to be able to modify (or overwrite) these images with Squirrelcart in the future, you will need to CHMOD each image file to 777. See the Setting File Permissions topic as a guide.
  4. Assign images to records

After uploading your images, you will need to assign them to records. To do this, see the Assigning Images to Record Fields topic.
