Using The Same Image For Multiple Products

General General Questions

Hi Everyone,

I'm using CS-Cart Multi-Vendor 4.13.3.

We are importing many products from CSV; however, all these products are using the same image which the product logo only, after importing a couple thousands of items we noticed a significant increase in the used storage due to image duplication for each product.

We would like to know how to make CS-Cart to use the same image instead of duplicate it for each product?

It is not possible out of the box. Extra development is required

Thanks eComLabs.

Can you please explain how the images are connected to product, e.g. image_id or image_path to product?
