Can someone please post the format of the Flat Files for the products_foto.php database?

For instance, please indicate what characters seperate what fields. That way I can manually fix the image upload issue.

But what are each field?

1$ is that the item number? What is the 2?

Is there a Carriage Return in there?

For anyone who is wondering it goes like this:
[]Position$Item Number$File Name$

Key:

[] = Carriage Return (Standard for Unix users but not Windows Users). If you are on Windows just copy and past the little square.

$ = Seperator

Position is the position of the picture.

The filename has to be in the quickcart/files/products directory and it also has to have a thumbnail with the _m on it. So if it's pic.gif you have to have a thumbnail pic_m.gif also.

Hello again,

I realy need your help with this one. As I am using PhP 4.3.2 i cannot upload the images automaticaly.
I do this manualy by editing the products_foto.php file (version 0.2.5)
Can anybody tell me what the format in version 0.3.1 is supposed to be.
for example: 2$7$vespa mok.jpg$description$

best regards

john
