Item image files are stored in the File Cabinet at Web Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > images. Images in this folder are mapped to a corresponding item record. The folder should only contain item images. Do not create subfolders within the images folder because images in a subfolder do not map to item records.
To set the image domain and image folder:
- Go to Commerce > Websites > Website List.
- Click Edit next to your website name.
- Click the Images subtab.
- In the Image Domain field, select the domain you want to use.
- In the Image Folder field, select the path to the images folder (Web Site Hosting Files : Live Hosting Files : images).
- Click Save.
The file name format determines the structure of image file names. The file name is made up of components used to associate the file with its corresponding item record.
- Item Identifier – the file name component that matches with a field on the item record. It can be the Display Name/Code, UPC Code, URL Component, Item Name/Number, or a custom field. Images associated with a given record must begin with the item identifier.
- You can select the item identifier from the dropdown menu or create a custom field to use as the item identifier. Custom fields must be stored to be used as an item identifier.
- Item ID Delimiter – the component used to parse the item identifier from the other file name components.
- It can be any combination of up to 5 supported characters. Supported characters: $ – _ . + ! * ’ ( ) ,
- The default value is an _ (underscore).
- Structure Delimiter – the component used to parse subsequent elements of the file name structure.
- It can be any combination of up to 5 supported characters. Supported characters: $ – _ . + ! * ’ ( ) ,
- It can be the same value as the Item ID Delimiter.
- The default value is a – (hyphen).
