Images & Files Management
Manage Product Images and Website Images
eBusiness System divides two image folders for products and websites. |
|
Product Images
When you add an new item, you can add a small image (thumbnail) or a large image. The small images of products will display in the category list. The large images will display in the product details. You have to upload the images to the Product Images first. If you need more pictures display on an item, you can also add more images at the item Detailed Description.
Check the "Resize Large Image" or it will show the actual image size. After image resize, customer can still click the "Click to enlarge" link to open the actual size image.
You can create your own folder under the Root directory to better organize the images. For example, if you have 20 categories of products, you would open 20 folders to put different products in different folders. Open New Folder and type the New Folder Name, click "create" and then click "close & refresh" to finish creating a new folder.
When you want to upload images to a specific folder, you have to click on the "Root" drop down and find the folder. Then click on the "browse" button. Locate the image (typically a .GIF, or .JPG file) on your computer and select it. Next, click on "Upload". After the file is uploaded to the web server, you should see a file name. Click on the file name and you will see the image.
Website Images
When you add images in your web pages or the item details with the HTML Editor, you use the Website Images Folder. For example, when adding picture in the main page content, you need to upload image to the Website Images Folder first. Also you can upload website images at the HTML Editor.
You can create your own folder under the Root directory to better organize the images. For example, if you have icons, web design, PDF files, swf files, etc. you can create different folders to store different files. Open New Folder and type the New Folder Name, click "create" and then click "close & refresh" to finish creating a new folder.

File Management
Export Data
Because eBusinessSystem is database driven, order & customer related data is captured and stored. In some instances, you may want to "Export" this data to compile your own reports, or import into your own software.
Data Format
During an export process, the Admin export functions create a file on your server. You can download this file later to your PC for your own use. There are two types of common formats, Tab Delimited (*.txt) and Comma Separated (CSV). Both formats are widely universal, and can be imported or opened with other programs. For example, CSV is most appropriate if you want to open the exported data using Microsoft Excel.
How to Export
The first step is to select a format. Next, enter the date range if applicable, then click on the "Export" button. A pop-up window will appear informing you of the export process.
Download Export Files
Once the export is complete, you will need to download the exported file to your PC. In Admin, click "Upload & Download" and you will see all files in your "export" folder. You should delete these files once you have successfully downloaded them.
Order Summary
This function exports a summary of the orders for the date range specified. It would contain all of the basic information about the orders.
Order Detail
This function exports the "Line Items", it will create a file that will contain a separate record for each item purchased.
