canand Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hello,I've been unsuccessful in importing images using CSV with only 2 products for testing. I have done the following.[1] Create new folder img/pics in prestashop root directory[2] Upload 2 pictures 1.jpg and 2.jpg to the above folder[3] Edit CSV (only 2 products) and give complete path to images "/home/apache/prestashop/img/pics/1.jpg" and "/home/apache/prestashop/img/pics/2.jpg"[4] Upload the CSV[5] Identify the correct columns for the CSV information in the import screen[6] Import is successful[7] I can see all the product details on prestashop but no images.I'm using prestashop 1.1 final. I thought once the CSV is uploaded, prestashop will create thumbnails of those images in img/p or something like that and it will internally track images.Am i supposed to do something else after importing the CSV for images to showup? What am i doing wrong?Thanks for any help,canand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbop Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Its got to do with the PHP version on your server. I am having the very same problem and now after I import all the producs and attributes I then one by one add the images to the product in Admin.Pain in the arse. But seems like the only way until someone comes up with a fix.If you do find a way, please please post your findings because I think im about to go nuts! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropbop Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Get in contact with your hosting provider. They sorted it for me. Think it was somthing to do with a security setting on the server. Cant remember off hand what they did but it worked what ever it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhnstcks Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 An easy way to do this is to create a duplicate installation on your hard drive then upload the csv + images then upload the copy the installation onto your server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
