Correct, records are added to the database (they should be added in any case). But huge BinaryData is not saved
a-haaa ok I got it now. So this field is like a refference to name of the images on the disk. That what confused me, thanks for clearing it. Why not to save the images names as is - in nvarchar and not in binaryData?? I think this would help to manage images in more cleary way.
Sorry, just foundd it: name the picure by PictureID and convert pictureID to String by mixing with "0000000". For example, the pictureID=123, then the file saved in image folder will be 0000123.jpg
what if add a column in Nop_picture table name it "uri" where i will store uri relative path to get images? it could be an easy way to manage pictures also when migrating from another CMS like i'm trying to do :) i'm migrating from Zencart to NopCommerce. On Zencart image uri is stored in database. This way i need only to copy the uri from old CMS Database to NopCommerce Database. And let the PictureManager look for uri when that column has a value.
I think that write uri to store images is a practice way to manage images for administrator. This way i can give structure and names that makes sense, to pictures, instead of "ID.jpg"
Should it be possible to see this kind of option on next releases of NopCommerce?
