Thread: Using SKU for Image Name

    Question Using SKU for Image Name

    We are trying to change our image names from the product id to the SKU - however after changing the XML Configuration 'UseSkuForProductImageName' to true, reseting the cache, and even restarting the web site, images uploaded through the admin still save as [productid].jpg and not [SKU].jpg - however the images on the site look for [SKU].jpg. Obviously an issue.

    Any ideas on why this is - am I missing another configuration setting (I didn't see any that seamed to apply)? or is this a bug?

    Thanks.

    BTW - I am using V9.0.1.2

    Also, I have tried this with UseImageResize both true and false as well as using and not using "Image Filename Override" in the product admin page - same results.

    This has been logged and is going to be looked into, I confirmed the behavior.

    "ImageFileName Override" serves only one function. It simply is a call reference to the image in the same way as if the image name was given on an Excel spreadsheet.

    "UseImageResize" is only the routine that resizes a large image to make it a medium and small/icon sized image.

    the image resize thing was more a shot in the dark - however I did notice that in some cases, when I use the medium multi-image manager, that those images saved with the SKU. So, something is definately a bit off.

    Unhappy

    My client really needs to prevent users from 'guessing' our next product due to the incremental nature of adding new Product ID's. Using "random" SKU's to in turn make the image names 'not as guessable' would definitely do the trick - if it worked.

    I'd greatly appreciate some guidance on this one if someone knows how to go about fixing this - or has a better idea.

    I believe this is still a bug in 9.0.1.3 as far as I can tell. Any word on a fix or if there is something we can do in our own code to make this work until an official fix bundled in a release?
