I've got OpenCart 1.5.5.1 and tried to change the image folder with unexpected results.

My opencart is installed on www.example.com/opencart/

I changed the config.php and admin/config.php as follows:

Code: Select all

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://example.com/opencart/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://example.com/opencart/');

// DIR
define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/');
define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/');
define('DIR_DATABASE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/database/');
define('DIR_LANGUAGE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/language/');
define('DIR_TEMPLATE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/catalog/view/theme/');
define('DIR_CONFIG', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/config/');
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/image2/');
define('DIR_CACHE', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/cache/');
define('DIR_DOWNLOAD', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/download/');
define('DIR_LOGS', '/home/example/public_html/opencart/system/logs/');

When I look at the site now, all the images are gone, not broken, but gone. After I update the folder name to "image2" the images show up broken and when I look at the Image URL I see:

Code: Select all

 http://example.com/opencart/image/data/Logos/logo.png

So somehow it is still looking for the "image" folder. It gets even stranger when I move the image folder outside the opencart folder, e.g. from /home/example/public_html/opencart/image2/ to /home/example/public_html/image2/

Then the image url is still:

Code: Select all

example.com/opencart/image/data/Logos/logo.png

When I change the HTTP_SERVER line in config.php to http://example.com/opencart2 The images are still broken but the image url is now:

Code: Select all

example.com/opencart2/image/data/Logos/logo.png

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Am I too naive thinking that the DIR_IMAGE define points to the folder where the images are?

Anyway, the reason I'm doing this is that I want two opencart shops sharing the same image folder. So: Shop 1:

Code: Select all

/home/example/public_html/opencart/

Shop 2:

Code: Select all

/home/example/public_html/opencart2/

Image folder:

Code: Select all

/home/example/public_html/image/

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

The image part of the URL is hardcoded.

You would have to make changes to the code to do what you want. Or perhaps you could use a rewrite in htaccess.
