Magento – Can’t upload image to magento 1.9.1

image-upload

As it seems I cant upload images to the site i am currently building. I am a magento newbie. when adding a new product in the image tab there is no upload nor browse tab and there's a message "Image type and information need to be specified for each store view." as you can see in the image below.
enter image description here

I've had this problem before. Magento uses Flash to display the Upload buttons. Go here and click the Check Now button to check your flash installation or try with a different browser that may have flash properly installed.

you can try these methods to get rid of the problem 1.) Rename your .htaccess file located inside the “media” directory to for example .htaccess_bak 2.) If the problem still exists, you can take a look into it "http://marius-strajeru.blogspot.in/2011/09/upload-issue-for-magento-1600.html"

Magento 1.9 – How to Create Image/Avatar Uploader for Admin User

You Need to override core magento code here -
here we have generated a custom module which will do this and override the core functionality -
Namespace - "A2bizz"

Generate below Directory Paths and their corresponding files and put the given code in it -

/app/etc/modules/A2bizz_All.xml

<config>
    <modules>        
         <A2bizz_Adminhtml>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>            
        </A2bizz_Adminhtml>                
    </modules>
</config>

/app/code/local/a2bizz/Adminhtml/etc/config.xml

}

Now create a directory named 'avatar' inside media folder and continue with your installer to generate field to your desired place.

Hope it will work for you.
