Importing attachment files (pdf)

[roastchicken]

Hi all

I've played around with the import tool and now can import csv format. Can import images and text.
Is it possible to import pdf files for the attachment section ?

Thanks again everyone

No, it is impossible to import attachments via CSV at the moment. I'm not aware of any module that does this either.

Thank you for the information.

How about attaching file (e.g. pdf, doc, zip, jpg) to an email? i know the three index(content, name, mime) of a variable $fileAttachment in Mail::send() function but i dont know how to attach the file if it is inside your upload folder.

Problem Solved.

WTF? Not solved I think.

 

That thread concerns email attachments. Not product attachments

As rocky pointed out, there's no importer to do this currently.

 

If like me however you're now forced to roll your own, I googled for the relevant code and this was the first result. As such, I want to leave some notes for anyone else who's looking to do the same thing.

 

This code is taken from sections of controllers/admin/AdminProductsController.php from AdminProductsController::processAddAttachments().

 

   $filename = 'myfile.pdf';
   $id_product = 123;

	// Generate unique filename
	do $uniqid = sha1(microtime());
	while (file_exists(_PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$uniqid));

	// Copy file to target
    copy($_FILES['attachment_file']['tmp_name'], _PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$uniqid);

	// Create file attachment
	$attachment = new Attachment();
	$attachment->file = $uniqid;
	$attachment->mime = 'application/pdf';
	$attachment->file_name = $filename;

	// Create name and description for each language
	$languages = Language::getLanguages(false);
	foreach ($languages as $language)
	{
		    $attachment->name[(int)$language['id_lang']] = substr($filename, 0, 32);
		    $attachment->description[(int)$language['id_lang']] = '';
	}

	// Put to DB
	$attachment->add();

	// Attach to product
	$attachment->attachProduct($id_product);

 

Hope this sets someone in the right direction, until a good importer comes along.

Well, I recently created a module for importing massive attachments to the product page (Prestashop 1.5.x), starting from a folder on the server where you previously uploaded your attachments.

You can import PDF, ZIP, JPG, PNG, GIF, DOC, XLS, PPT files.

There are some rules to follow for let the import works correctl (you can choose if use the ProductID or the Reference, and if the file name has 2 variables with a separator).

Actually it's in italian but I'm planning to improve it as soon as possible with multilanguage and more options.

As soon as I can I'll post a page on my site with all the specs and the price.

But if someone is interested, please PM me.

 

Of course the module works, as I did it for one of my customers.

If you have a lot of attachments, this module could save you a lot of time.
