Hello gammafx

can you provide me sample csv for this /? thanks in advance..

Hey Ravi,

Here is the CSV for this particular example.

import_images.zip  (File Size: 1KB - Downloads: 763)

This is cause by $this->_imagefields being deprecated since 1.5.0.0
Quick solution is adding this line:

at the top of your custom productimport.php file and you should see the images again after importing.

Cheers!

@PGU:

Which productimport.php file do you mean? There is no such file in 1.51 ...

I use the new and fast import function of 1.5+ instead of the DataFlow profiles.

Could we add the array definition to some other php file?

Thanks in advance,
Erik

Hi all, any news about that issue?

i have made it to attache images to my products imported with new import/export features by doing :

/img/image_name.jpg

BUT
1. /img --> /magento_root_folder/media/catalog/product/img
2. all the images are not imported into default image folder (eg. /product/1/1/1198.jpg)

so what can we do?

thank you
Simone

Magenton 1.5.1 appears to be ignoring the gallery column on import. I’m hoping someone out there provides a patch for it…

This is cause by $this->_imagefields being deprecated since 1.5.0.0
Quick solution is adding this line:

$this -> _imageFields = array('image','small_image','thumbnail');

at the top of your custom productimport.php file and you should see the images again after importing.

Cheers!

I tried, but it doesn’t work.  I ‘m using the same productimport.php file for 1.4.1.

Upgraded to Magento ver. 1.5.1.0-beta1 - the issue still persists. However, there is a workaround now… You can create a new import profile just for images and bring them in separately.  To do so follow the steps below:

go to System > Import/Export > Dataflow - Profiles.
Click Add New Profile.
Setup a profile and select NO for “Original Magento attribute names in first row” (see attached screenshot)
Map the fields to the ones in your CSV
Save and Run the profile with your CSV

As long as the product is already imported the image CSV can just have a sku, image, thumbnail, small_image fields.

If the product does not exist, you’ll get an error on that line.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks, it works.

I’m running into that issue too, but it’s a little different,
I put my image (image.png) into /media/catalog/product/i/m/image.png
In my csv in the three fields (image, thumb and small) put /i/m/image.png
Everything is OK on frontend catalog grid/list and OK on frontend product page but in the back end, section images, there is nothing !
If someone has an idea
Regards
PS : SORRY: I’m using magento 1.5.1.0 community edtition and “simple” import tool
PS2: It’s working until I do a “save” on the product configuration page on backend, then the image disapear on the frontend ... very strange

any news on this issue? Magento team is working on it?

please guys, help me.

thank you

Yeah, Just tried the gammafx images import method (with dataflow), it rocks working very well, great , it save me a lot of time

Hi, i have done a new profile following your indication. so after i run the “new” import without images i just wait for the product to be imported. after this, i go to import profiles and run the new created profile with csv like you have attached.

i although get an error :

SKIP IMPORT ROW, IS NOT VALID VALUE “” for field “type”

..but i have no field called “type”

here are all my screenshots.

is there somethint that i miss?

also, do you kindly have a hack to disable duplicate image creation during import? if i run import 3 times, Magento 1.5.0.1 will triplicate the images in forlders!!

thank you
Simone

Click thumbnail to see full-size image

gammafx - I owe you like 90 beers for this documentation. You win, my thanks I was going to hire a kid to do some grunt work, but you saved me 25 tedious hours.

gammafx - worked like a champ! Thank you much!!!

Hasn’t this issue been fixed in 1.6.0 alpha? Has anybody tried it?
