Title: Save location/type in articleimages doesn't change when changing configuration.
Post by: karenW on January 14, 2016, 16:08:27 PM
Hi,
using vm 3.0.12


i have changed the path for product/article images.
Normally its "images/virtuemart/stories/products". Now its images/ewalda, so that i can use the images in this map. Only
the images which show are still the ones in "images/virtuemart/stories/product"

I have already logged in-and-out and refreshed everthing.

the path save/location: products hasn't changed, and i cannot change this manually.  Is this a bug, or am i overlooking the obvious.

I am using the Dutch language vm.

regards,
Karen

did you clear the joomla cache?  All VM cat views are cached

Hi,

thanx for your answer, i removed the cache(good advice) , but sorry enough it didn't help my problem. I think its a bug, :-(

It should be possible to load images from a different map.

Karen

are they appearing in the new folder if u make a new product?
Did u move them there?

There is no file move.. u have to shift them..  or perhaps the media menu sync will do it (doubt it)

Hello,

they are not appearing in the map, when you make a new folder.
If i look with ftp, the images are in the map i moved them to.
Its really weird. I am going to look in the code, see if i can find the problem. Hmmm or i can try another admin template, sometimes that will help.

Karen

Hi,

i did that aswell, but it didn't help.
It has something to do with the searchimage field and the (default)path.
(i dont like how the developers have done this, rather a filter system than a searchpath)
Its not working for me at the moment. Path keeps searching in the default path. Pfffffff i did read the imagesdd directly in to the database, maybe i did something wrong there(but thats not really logical ).

Thank you for the tips!

regards,
Karen
