This is what your pricelist files should look like.
The Pricelist is made up of six fields
- 1 - Item code
- 2 - Image
- 3 - Product Description
- 4 - Price
- 5 - Unit (Each, doz, pair, etc)
- 6 - Status (In stock, due date, qty in stock, discontinued or just leave blank)
The above fields are customizable please read the customize page to learn more.
This first example has no images for any products - as you can see field 2 is empty
There are two ways for the system to handle images. The example below shows how to link to images stored on another website
Field 2 has full address's of the product images
The next example (below) is for images stored on the DistiSoft System. You can have two images for each product (thumbnail and large images)
You need to upload the images to your "Image Directory" on our server (using a similar system to the "Data file" upload page)
Images can be called whatever you like. In the example below we use item codes as the names of the images but the images could just as easily be called "nylonjacket" or "rainjacket" or "rainpants"
You will notice that there is no ".jpg" at the end of the image file name this is because the system will automatically add the extension to the image name
Read this -> This is how the system looks for an image
- looks to see if there is anything in the image field
- If the field has nothing in it - it simply skips over it
- If the field contains something that starts with "http" then it links directly to that image (this is for images stored on another server)
- Otherwise it sticks '_t.jpg' (thumbnail image) on the end of whatever is there and tries to load it from your image directory
- If whatever_t.jpg doesn't exist then it looks for whatever_l.jpg (large image).
- If whatever_l.jpg doesn't exist then it looks for whatever.jpg and will use this for both small and large images. Lastly if it can't find an image then it simply displays "no image on file"
A great feature is the ability to use the same image for several items - as per the example below there are 11 different products but only using three images. Complete product ranges can have only one logo or a photo of a display stand full of different products etc.

How to name your pricelist data file(s)
wwwprl1
Your pricelist should be named wwwprl1
For example if you made a pricelist file in MS Notepad just click "Save As" and type "wwwprl1" - Simple!
If you have a large pricelist (more than 500 products) or simply wish to have categories then you will need to break your pricelist up into several smaller pricelists (categories).
Each category will effectively be a separate pricelist data file. The name format for each category (pricelist) is wwwprl1, wwwprl2, wwwprl3 etc etc.
And you can have up to 25 categories!
