I am out of ideas of how will i save the images in the productimage field/ if i dont use that field how the editor will save images including the html in the productdescription field. Any suggestions or assistance will be appreciated.

Answer 1

That depends on your website structure. Generally we need a separate upload field and then we store the path in database. With that way you can retrieve producttitle and productimage in order to list your products. Also with that way you keep all your product pages structure the same. I explain, let's say you have your product image on the left and the description on the right. If you want anytime to change this structure you modify one file, otherwise you will need to modify each product description field.

However it's necessary to have also an uploader on your WYSIWYG editor. You maybe need it once to add extra images or some icons. In addition, it's nice to make things easier, not only for you, but for the client. In general clients like things that they are already used (MS Office) like a complete WYSIWYG.
