Hello
I have a requirement to add some images before installing the C5. Like the duck images uploaded automatically while installing the E-commerce. How could I do that? Please help me.

Are we talking about the background images? I guess they arrive daily via AJAX ?

No no I'm talking about the banner images coming just after installing a C5 instance.

Have a look at this explanation:

http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/ftp-for-file-upload...

Basically, the files have to be brought in through the C5 system because they are not referenced by their original filename when C5 renders them on your page. You have to FTP them to the "root/files/incoming" directory and then use the C5 File Manager in the dashboard to officially import them into the system.

Clear as mud?

Thanks for your response. But this is not what I'm looking for.

I have used the e-commerce add-on, which also add some ducks images while installing. I want to know, how could I add images before installing C5.

I guess the problem is that the required C5 structure is already in place when you install the eCommerce add-on. The file structure does not exist before you install Concrete5 so I don't think additional images can be installed without hacking the installation procedures in the installation zip file.

Let me explain you the scenario about my site. I've developed a site with magento. It has a subscription plan. A user choose a plan & register. After that he get a link of C5 site by which he can choose a stylish theme among multiple interactive themes. I'm doing this by having a C5 installation in a directory & while sign up I just copy it to another directory. This way a user can set up his site within a few second in my clients server.

So I need some images to put before copying. Is it possible? i can easily put these images anywhere in C5 directory as I have full access of it.

Ok, you need to explain all this in your first post so you can get the specific help you need.

What you are talking about is creating a 'Starting Point'. I've never done it but it is explained here:

This is new functionality so I'm sure it's not as easy as we hope.
