[HOW TO] import images for products with import .csv??

[sephzero]

Hello, i've created a .csv for my products with all the needed records, for example name, weight, category,price etc, i've added the url of the images too.

When i import this .csv i've created (UTF-8) it imports everything fine, but "impossible to copy "url of my photos", previously uploaded to the folder i need them to stay.

Any help?

PS: another question, is good to use the import .csv technique for updating products?

Hi sephzero,

Here's what you need to do:
1. Create subfolder(s) in the upload directory (eg upload/carpets)
2. Upload the images into the subfolder(s)
3. Use the url of the images in the subfolders in your .csv for your products, either using absolute path (http :// www . domain . com/upload/carpets/image1.jpg) or relative path (../upload/carpets/image1.jpg)

On your 2nd question:
Yes, it's a good method if you need to update a lot of products and using OpenOffice's Calc spreadsheet program, CSVed or uniCSVed, all of which are able to save, open and edit csv files. If you're updating very few products, you can just update in the BO.

Is that still valid with current versions of Prestashop?
