2 attempts at importing products with url image link didn’t work.
My reference to the url working in a post was just to clarify that WP is pulling the image from an external source as is without a problem. I am confident there is no issue with the link
Can you please e-mail me the CSV file to confirm it is formatted correctly, this is an area I need to provide additional documentation for. I’m happy to work on a per-case basis until this is available.
what should the url column be and what should it match up to in the importer? seriously this can’t be difficult if everything else matches up ok.
The URL column should be set to Image and under “Are you importing Product Images?” set it to “Assigned an external URL column for Products in the CSV file.”.
This works a treat for me, let me know how you go.
The image filename issue in 2.9-3.0 has been fixed in 3.0.1, download the latest release from Premium Plugins Page.
First chance I have had to test again. Downloaded latest release and category upload worked fine but got the following warnings for product upload:
Warning: fwrite/fclose/imagesx/imagesy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in…
and then it references /wp-e-commerce-product-importer-deluxe.php and /SimpleImage.php on various lines and for each image.
Hope that makes sense.
I have the latest versions of WP and E commerce. I have the store installed on only one network site.
Hi Michael, still is yes:-)
I think the issue is that the external url for the image needs to point to my server/host where-as the image url i have points to an external location on a suppliers server. I think this is what causes the error.Can you confirm this is correct? and if so is it possible to get the plugin to pull the image from the external location directly?
It would really be a pain to have to get all the images, then upload, then change the url…….etc
cheers
Hi emil, please get in touch as I’ll need to inspect your WP e-Commerce tables; phpMyAdmin access would be preferable. The ‘Assigned an external URL column for Products in the CSV file.’ option does just that, reads the image file specified and saves a local copy to your server. Be good to get this sorted, thanks emil.
Hey Visser! My problem is the fwrite fopen.
But the cause of my issue is very clear. Not sure how hard it would be to fix.
I did mention back in .4 of your plug-in that I had different prefix for the tables.In this case, my wordpress directory is ‘/svn/wp-content’ , not ‘/wp-content’!
So my php error is giving me…
Unable to open ‘/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/1289093755-print-1.jpg’where it should be looking in
Unable to open ‘/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite/httpdocs/svn/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/1289093755-print-1.jpg’How to fix?
Ahh, changing one line fixed this for me.
In wp-e-commerce-product-importer-deluxe.php….I customized line 1104 to match my product_images location.
Based on my previous post, I made sure this line looked like>>>
$uploadsDirectory = $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/svn/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/’;And I finally saw my images successfully imported. Now it is a breeze.
Hi graphicagenda, thanks for the update. I’ll look into how I can integrate this support into future releases of Product Importer Deluxe.
