Opencart: change image folder
opencart, php
Solution
I had the same problem.
File /catalog/model/tool/image.php
Line 51 && 53 aprox:
return $this->config->get('config_ssl') . 'image/' . $new_image;
return $this->config->get('config_url') . 'image/' . $new_image;
And File
/catalog/controller/common/header.php
Line 24 && 30 Aprox
$this->data['icon'] = $server . 'image/' . $this->config->get('config_icon');
$this->data['logo'] = $server . 'image/' . $this->config->get('config_logo');
Those lines are overwritting your configuration.
You can simply replace 'image' or do some trick to add DIR_IMAGE relevant information.
I guess in later versions they will correct this error.

Problem
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: ``` // 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: ``` 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: ``` 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: ``` 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: ``` /home/example/public_html/opencart/ ``` Shop 2: ``` /home/example/public_html/opencart2/ ``` Image folder: ``` /home/example/public_html/image/ ``` Is there any way of doing this? Thanks in advance
