$prefix is empty when retrieving PREFIX from settings

[pascalbayer]

Problem

Description: When retrieving prefix from db it is empty, therefore

if (!($accessKey && $secretKey && $bucket && $prefix))
      return;

returns and does not upload any files to the S3 bucket.

Magento version: 1.9.0.1

Hotfix

Place prefix on default config level:

<prefix translate="label">
    <label>Website Prefix</label>
    <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
    <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
    <show_in_website>0</show_in_website>
    <show_in_store>0</show_in_store>
    <sort_order>4</sort_order>
</prefix>

Prefix is per-website scope. You can switch to default website scope and set its value.
Thought it's unclear and redundant in single-store configurations.

Note: in the proposed fix you removed prefix field from website scope - it's incorrect because purport of prefix field is to allow putting images from different websites (stores) to separate "subdirectories" on S3

Anatoly, can we run without the prefix and place everything in the root of the bucket for single store configs?

Sure
