Product Image Simplified

Hello All OpenCart Users,

I am writing this post in order to ask if anyone from here can give me a way to simplify the process of adding products?
I am sure that everyone of you is experiencing that feeling when you simply don't want to add more products with 10 images because it takes you like 5 minutes for every image to be uploaded and selected as a product image.

I am looking for a way to select all the images you want to be added to Product X and click them and there you go. Not having to add a new image tab for every image you want to add, then search it in the file manager and upload and etc etc.

Does anybody knows a solution for this?
Doesn't matter if its paid or free, it would be nicer to be free, but anyway.

OC Version : 1.5.2.1

Thank you.

This sped things up a lot for me - it shows images in the file manager in descending order with the last ones uploaded first.

Edit admin/controller/common/filemanager.php

Find

Code: Select all

			foreach ($files as $file) {
				if (is_file($file)) {
					$ext = strrchr($file, '.');
				} else {
					$ext = '';
				}	
Add just before it:

Code: Select all

// added		
		usort($files, create_function('$a,$b', 'return filemtime($b) - filemtime($a);'));
		
// end added

Oh, sure, that will help too. But its not exactly what i'm looking for. I want something to be able to set up 5 images for e.g. at a time.

I believe there is an extension to do that, but I don't have any experience with it. Check the extensions store.

You need to look at the compatibility and download the one that is for the version of opencart you have installed. Once you pay the license fee for the extension, you can download any of them.

I see, ok. I will try that next week. Until then, I am still waiting for other suggestions and also looking for a one-page checkout? Is there any other than the one from the extension store?

The Multi Image Upload Manager works well. You can upload multiple images, drag and drop from your computer. You can also drag drop your product images to sort them. It also works on banners, uploading images, drag drop sort order, etc. One other nice feature is that after your images are uploaded, you just select all the images for that product, then right-click, click on Select for Product and they're all added at once. You can add 10 images to one product in just a couple of clicks. You can get the extension here: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=6229. Support is free.
