CSV error copying image


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

After a lot of time searching the boards and Google search results, I have decided to post my first post to this board.

 

I have built an CSV file and it imports everything perfectly apart from the image files, I am currently hosting the site locally and may fear this is the problem and there is no way around it. I may have to wait until the site is live to add products to the database.

 

I have tried multiple image URL's in the image column,

I have also copied the /img/ folder into the admin/import folder but to no avail. 

 

My Tools.php file has been checked and is fine as one thread suggested.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

 

Thanks

You can load products without loading images.  So that will get you going even though you won't have images at first.

 

Then you can import just the images with two csv fields, the id and the image url.

 

You can test image access by just entering the URL in your browser.  If you can see the image you should be able to get to it from the importer.

 

You should use the full url - http://localhost:8888/<storedir>/<imagedir>/<imagename>

 

Load a CSV with one product without the image then try loading another CSV with just the image for that product.  Lot faster and easier to test that way.

Thanks Rouge Wave,

 

The docs folder was protected and after visiting the links I noticed that.

 

Placing the folder in the root has solved my problem. 

 

Although another one has just arrived! Any ideas why I cannot upload more than one image seperated by delimiters? The paths are correct for both images, but if I try to add more than one path under the image URL the CSV import page returns telling me images could not be saved. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Hi All

I have a similar issue

 

Would appreciate some help with loading images via CSV Import Products

 

All products data in imported correctly, except images

 

Have opened Filezilla Client and dragged image folder to public_html images folder

 

Click on the folder and all the images are listed

 

Permission on img folder is showing 0755

 

Permission on individual images is showing 0644

 

I have tried following urls (have had to have add space to list )

 

htpp:  //  www. romfordgifts.co.uk/public_html/img/NAOMAIN/02000147.jpg

 

htpp : //  www. romfordgifts.co.uk/img/NAOMAIN/02000149.jpg

 

 

Are the permission settings incorrect or the incorrectly configured ?

 

Any suggestion would be appreciated
