Need help with importing images


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

Where is the appropriate place to post help requests? Maybe there should be an "Ask For Help" thread?
Anyways, I am trying to make use of the Import tool, and I would like to use the image column to import products with their images.

Can anyone tell me what do I need to write in the image url column?
I have tried all sorts of formats, and nothing seems to work.
For example, I have placed an image "test.jpg" in /img/p/test.jpg, and tried writing these in the column:
test.jpg
p/test.jpg
img/p/test.jpg
/img/p/test.jpg

I even tried writing the real path, but the image is not imported.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How I was able to import images...

1. make sure the folder your importing from is chmod 777
2. your product has to have a "product_id"
3. I used the full url in the csv file, ie http://www.mystore.com/imports/product.jpg

and that seemed to work for me. My products are simple though... no attributes or any of that...

for some reason I think a lot has to do with hosting as well.... so many people seem to be having a problem with this...
