Users - product images directory

[Fred Forester-2]

hi all,


is it possible to keep the product images somewhere outside of the ofbiz
directories via symbolic links or some other way?

Thanx
Fred

Fred,

It's possible to configure a 'content prefix' which allow you to move
images and such like elsewhere.

Fred,

You can set content prefixes in the catalog application.

and in framework/webapp/config/url.properties, you'll see a block like
this...

# Static Content URLs to make it easy to move the serving load for
static content to other machines
# -- thse are for general content such as images, js & css files, or
non-dynamic HTML files
content.url.prefix.secure=
content.url.prefix.standard=

I hope that helps.

I kinda figured it was this file but I still have no clue as to what the
values should be.

basically all I want to do is symlink the webapp/images/products to
somewhere else

Fred,

Using the config file you can add a subdomain to the images url and
therefor serve them from an entirely different server.

Using the content application (sorry I said catalog before by mistake),
you can configure your website to use content prefixes, this means that
all content will be created and referenced in /images/yourprefix. You
can then simply create a symlink in /images.

It seems this will make me move ALL the content and not just images and
maybe even have to have an external web server handle it.

Fred, there are 2 options...

option 1

Sounds like you're looking for option2, I suggest you experiment with
this one.

did that. added a prefix of   /images/scprods    tail the access log an see....

GET /images/scprods/images/calendar1.js     (I want this to stay where it supposed to and not prefixed)
GET /images/scprods/images/products/thu/LFVV.JPG    (This is the ONLY directory I want moved)

and using the prefix this way will allow me to "symlink" just the products images directory and leave everything else as is.

It turns out that it is possible to symlink image directories the way I
want to.

edit
framework/catalina/src/org/ofbiz/catalina/container/CatalinaContainer.java

in
protected Context createContext(ComponentConfig.WebappInfo appInfo)
throws ContainerException

add
context.setDocBase(location);
context.setAllowLinking(true);


symlink away

Fred,

Yes, I think that is a good idea. I made a change to add that in rev 7208.

Hi POS users,

When updating to 7207 you may have a conflict in
applications/pos/screens/default/includes/numeric.xml

It's easily resolved :

1) delete applications/pos/screens/default/includes/numeric.xml
2) svn up applications/pos/screens/default/includes/numeric.xml

Jacques
