Question

Where are the images stored? I have developed a site using my local server. When I upload the database to the live web site, I don't see any product images. Are images stored in the database?

Answer

Images are not stored in the database, and there are no references to images (e.g. stored filenames) stored in there either. The product and version images are actually stored in several folders and allocated numbers corresponding to the versions or products they represent. The uploaded image folders are:

images_products
images_products_large
images_versions
images_versions_large
images_categories
images_categories_large

These folders as default are within the 'uploads' folder.

When CactuShop displays a product or other item on the front end, it checks if there is an appropriate image in the applicable folder, and if so displays it.
