I am testing a demo installation and want to import all my products and images before we go live with CS-Cart. Answers to a few questions regarding images will help us confirm our decision to use CS-Cart.
Must all images be in one folder? We will probably have around 10000 images before too long and are starting out with around 4000. On my old server I had around 250 folders which organized the images by vendor and were named accordingly.
Images I added manually to the demo are in the same folder as the demo data:
/public_html/var/exim/backup/images/
Is this the standard and only folder for images? If not, how do I set up a new one. Can there be many image folders as on my old server and described above?
Can I ftp images to the server and then import a product images CSV text file with the image's product information and filename to add images? The workflow would be:
1) create CSV products text file on my computer and import into CS-Cart products table
2) upload images to CS-Cart image folder/s
3) create CSV product images text file on my computer and import into CS-Cart product images table
Is this the way to get everything into CS-Cart or if not, what's correct procedure?
Thanks for any help.
