separate folder for different products

Postby jarodgan » Sat Feb 10, 2007 1:02 am

How to create different folder for different products. This is possible for uploading images. I manage to upload images of different products into separate folder. But I could not find how to do this for products.

We just started using ShopSite, any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Products are kept in the database so there is no reason to have separate folders for them. Each product doesn't create a separate file like an image does. The only other thing that creates a separate file is when you publish your pages. You may want to put groups of pages in separate folders. To do this you need to manually create the folders in your store output directory then when you specify the filename for a page you include the path before the file name. So for example if you are selling furniture and want to have a folder for all of you "bed" pages you would create a beds folder in the store output directory and then for the each page filename you would specify beds/bunk.html beds/queen.html etc. Note that you would need direct server access to manually create the folders and they must have read, write permissions for the webserver user.
