Overview

Product Gallery Importer lets you import products with multiple product images from a CSV file.

Product Gallery Importer lets you import products with multiple product images from a CSV file.

The CSV file containing all the products you wish to import should have a field name "gallery". The field "gallery" should contain all the images you want to show up in the product gallery. Each image should be delimited by a semicolon: ';'


Once you installed the extension, you'll need to set up an advanced import profile in order to use the Product Gallery Importer. Go to your admin panel and select System->Import/Export->Advanced Profiles. Click on the "Add New Profile" to create a new profile.

In the Profile Name field, enter "Import Product Gallery" or whatever you want.

In the Actions XML field, enter the following:

<action type="dataflow/convert_adapter_io" method="load">

    <var name="type">file</var>

    <var name="path">var/import</var>

    <var name="filename"><![CDATA[exported_products.csv]]></var>

    <var name="format"><![CDATA[csv]]></var>

</action>



<action type="dataflow/convert_parser_csv" method="parse">

    <var name="delimiter"><![CDATA[,]]></var>

    <var name="enclose"><![CDATA["]]></var>

    <var name="fieldnames">true</var>

    <var name="number_of_records">1</var>

    <var name="decimal_separator"><![CDATA[.]]></var>

    <var name="adapter">catalog/convert_adapter_gallery</var>

    <var name="method">parse</var>

</action>

Save the profile by clicking on "Save and Continue Editing" button. Before you can start importing, make sure you have the CSV file in the correct location and is name correctly.

The 'exported_products.csv' is the name of the CSV file you want to import. Place the CSV file 'exported_products.csv' with all the products you want to import into the folder 'var/import/'.

When you CSV is ready and in place, click on the "Run Profile in Popup" button and watch your products and product gallery get imported to the database.


NOTES:

This extension lets you add an extra gallery filed in your product CSV file that you wish to import. The gallery field would contain all your images delimited by the semicolon: ';'

For example:

/path/to/image1;/path/to/image2;/path/to/image3

If images are missing or cannot be found, the product would not be imported.
