Batch Process Images add-on for ProductCart 3.51 & 4

Brief Summary

Save time resizing and uploading your product images. Let this handy add-on do most all of the work for you – in batches!

This add-on for ProductCart 3.51 and above enables you to batch upload hundreds of products at a time – dynamically regenerating your general, thumbnail, and mini-thumbnail (shown on cart summary page) and update your database in one simple process.

All you have to do is name the largest version of your product image by the product SKU, then FTP them all up to a temporary repository, and then click a button to initiate the magic. Additional product views are also supported.

It also plugs into the two options ProductCart offers for uploading and managing your various sized product images:

Version 3.51:

Settings → Upload Images
Modify Product → Images

Version 4:

Settings → Images & Navigation → Upload Images
Modify Product → Images

Not only is this a big time saver, but over time you will find that enforcing a naming convention of naming product images by their SKU will save you time managing your legacy image files.

It also facilitates image file management by deleting the images files associated to a product when you delete a product from you catalog.

What's more, ProductCart simply “squishes” the “mini-thumbnail” image you can use on your cart summary page; this add-on create an actual image for that “mini-thumbnail.”

Finally, the add-on also includes options to stroke your images with a black or a white border and to copyright your images with either text (servers running ASPImage) or a logo (servers running ASPJpeg).

This modification will be overwritten by any version updates from Early Impact. However, we have made it very simple to re-customize in such an event. Web Merchant Services makes every effort to isolate the core code of its add-ons and mods from being overwritten by Early Impact updates. We try to keep the time to reinstall to ~ 10 minutes or less, making it really simple to do again if necessary.
