With that in place (for your /pt/ installation) you could then adapt the plugin to make use of the cache as follows. For search results and featured products, in both pto_search.php at line 453 and pto_featured.php at line 81 look for the following code:
global $pto_config_externalBaseHREF;
$each = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$pto_config_externalBaseHREF."imageCache.php?src=".urlencode($row->image_url),$each);
And for the main product image; look for the following code at line 303:
global $pto_config_externalBaseHREF;
$html_product = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$pto_config_externalBaseHREF."imageCache.php?src=".urlencode($product->image_url),$html_product);
The default image cache script uses a default cache period of 7 days (search for the constant 604800 which is the cache period in seconds if you wish to change this), and keep a close eye on disk usage; especially if your site is large and merchant images also! You may want to consider adding a line to empty the cache folder as part of your CRON fetch / import process - let me know if you're not sure about any part of the implementation of course;
Hello Richard,
There is an image caching script for standalone Price Tapestry described here:
http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/279
With that in place (for your /pt/ installation) you could then adapt the plugin to make use of the cache as follows. For search results and featured products, in both pto_search.php at line 453 and pto_featured.php at line 81 look for the following code:
$each = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$row->image_url,$each);...and REPLACE with:
global $pto_config_externalBaseHREF;$each = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$pto_config_externalBaseHREF."imageCache.php?src=".urlencode($row->image_url),$each);
And for the main product image; look for the following code at line 303:
$html_product = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$product->image_url,$html_product);...and REPLACE with:
global $pto_config_externalBaseHREF;$html_product = str_replace("%IMAGE_URL%",$pto_config_externalBaseHREF."imageCache.php?src=".urlencode($product->image_url),$html_product);
The default image cache script uses a default cache period of 7 days (search for the constant 604800 which is the cache period in seconds if you wish to change this), and keep a close eye on disk usage; especially if your site is large and merchant images also!

Hope this helps!
