Product Images/Symbolic Links
In previous versions of AC, I was able to host product images on a different server and provide the url for those images. This does not work in Gold. I have found a thread in the forums regarding setting up Symbolic Links for product images, and I believe I have successfully done that as the AC ProductImages folders show the virtual folders that show the files in my remote image folder as expected. However, when I change acProducts and acProductImages to link to "~/Assets/ProductImages/Thumbnails/ItemPic1.jpg" the URL returned in ProductImage.ascx.cs is broken. This is also true for the additional images. I believe that AC ought to be able to handle distributed images without such a major problem to get symbolic links set up and properly working. Any help trouble shooting images not showing up is MUCH appreciated, as this is slowing down our launch of the new website.
There is a new plug-in available from Drundo. It is very reasonable and easy to install. Please see this link for more info – http://forums.ablecommerce.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=17924
