Creating the import file
In your import file, you need to add 2 more columns:
- file_url
Here you put the name of the main image for example hammer.png. Multiple images separated by |. - file_url_thumb
Here you put the name of the thumbnail image, always prefixed by resized for example resized/hammer.png. Multiple images separated by |.
Let's create our CSV file:
"product_sku", "product_name", "category_path", "product_desc", "file_url", "file_url_thumb", "file_title", "file_description", "file_meta", "file_ordering"
"H01", "Hammer", "Hand Tool/Indoors", "A great hammer to let out all your frustration", "hammer.png", "resized/hammer.png", "Hammer", "A great hammer", "hammer,tool","1"
Save these 2 lines in a file or download the file by clicking here.
This completes the second step of the image path, we now have a complete path of images/stories/virtuemart/product/hammer.png
To be able to create a thumbnail upload an image called hammer.png to your server in the folder images/stories/virtuemart/product.
