Changing the category image

To change the category image or the location of the image, do the following:

  1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
  2. Business to consumer From the Merchandise menu, click Categories.
    Business to business From the Products menu, click Categories.
    A category tree for the catalog displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
  3. Open the Change Category notebook by highlighting the category that you want to change, and click Change.
  4. From the left navigation frame, click Images. The Images page displays. All category image files should be placed in the store's defined image directory. Change the category image name or location, as follows:
    • To change the full size or large category image, in the Full size image file and location field, type the path to the image, including the image name:
      • AIXiSeriesLinuxSun Solaris Operating Environment/WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear/wcstores.war/ storedir/images/summer_full.gif
      • Windows\WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear\wcstores.war\ storedir\images\summer_full.gif
    • To change the thumbnail or small category image, in the Thumbnail image file and location field, type the path to the image, including the image name:
      • AIXiSeriesLinuxSun Solaris Operating Environment/WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear/wcstores.war/ storedir/images/summer_thumb.gif
      • Windows\WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear\wcstores.war\ storedir\images\summer_thumb.gif
    • where storedir is the name of the store directory in which your store is located.
    • The correct image directory and whether you need an absolute or relative path depends on your store's configuration. Ask a store developer with Site Administrator authority for the correct image directory. For example, the WebSphere Commerce sample store images use a relative path to the default installation path.
  5. To save the changed image name or location and close the notebook, click OK.

Note: If the changes to the catalog data do not display, the Site Administrator may need to disable caching or remove the currently cached JSP pages.
