Store Images Locally

Submitted by noodles on Fri, 2006-09-01 19:10 in Price Tapestry

I've been using the script and thinks it's great. I've been modding the code slightly and one change i would like to make is to store the images on my own server rather than relying on the merchants, can anyone provide any clue as to how i go about this?

Thanks
Dave

PS. I don't plan to drop the db on every update, just new products.

Hi Dave,

The most straight forward way to go about this is a caching mechanism, as described in this thread:

Using that method, images are served from your server, but the first time they are requested they are fetched from the merchant - and from then on they come directly from your server.

Cheers!
David.

Thanks for your help.
