How to

To use simply fire up the terminal and type 'buildsale' a prompt will appear asking you to enter the name of your sale, e.g. "Simply Cushions", the number of SKU directories you require and the prefix you want to use for those SKU directories, e.g. "SSA". After which it will create directories in the format below ready for the relevant images to be dropped in.

Simply Cushions/ Main Image Skinny Image SSA1 Main Image Other Images SSA2 ... ...

These will be placed in the "Flash Sales" directory in your home folder, if one doesn't exist then one will be created for you.

If you already sale created and simply want to add extra SKU's to it then make sure it's in the "Flash Sales" directory and run the buildsale script. At the prompt enter the same name of your sale directory & the same prefix then enter the from & to numbers you want for the SKU's to be created.

The tool is designed to create directories and doesn't delete any if they already exist, this way the chances of human error are minimised.

Happy sales,
