Uploading photos from your phone's camera to OpenCart

This module adds convenient image uploading directly from the device's camera to the OpenCart admin panel, helping you quickly fill out cards that require relevant visual content. Instead of the hassle of transferring files, you can take a photo directly in the interface, save it, and instantly link it to the desired field. This is useful for quickly adding new product ranges, updating photos, and working with content on the go.

What is the module for?

This solution solves a common problem for content managers and store administrators: quickly obtaining a photo without any intermediate steps. The module opens a modal camera window, allows you to switch the video source, and take a photo in the selected resolution. Once saved, the image is saved to the website catalog and returned to the editing form.

An important point: the module is activated through the settings and connects the script in the administrative section only when the status is enabled.

Benefits for the store

Work speed is significantly increased by capturing images directly in the administrative interface. Fewer manual operations are required, reducing the risk of file confusion and duplicates. The module also seamlessly integrates into the standard OpenCart architecture, using administrator access rights and the familiar settings page.
