hello Roland

OK, I have a couple of questions.
I am able to import my data to K2. How can I include image processing / upload to the CSV file?

Hello,

You can add the field image to your import file and set the Process images to Yes in your template. To have CSVI import this image with your item.

The image must exist in the folder /media/k2/items/src/ and on import this image will be renamed to a K2 image name. K2 encrypt the filenames, so we can't keep the original name.
Kind regards,

RolandD

so the path on the csv file would be eg: /media/k2/items/src/boomerang.jpg?
Is there no way to have /media/k2/items/src/ "hard coded" so it does not need to be added to the csv every time? Then my client would just have to put the file name...:)

No, the data in the file has to be only the name becuase the path is fixed by K2. In your file you would only have boomerang.jpg.
Kind regards,

It works only if the path on the csv file is /media/k2/items/src/boomerang.jpg. It does not work with simple file name boomerang.jpg

That is very odd because the path is hardcoded into the code. Can you post your debug log for me to check?
Kind regards,

OK.. so my client has the same image used for several products.. the import only supports 1 image/field? is this correct? So if we wanted a place holder image I would have to rename images placeholder1.jpg, placeholder2.jpg etc etc? And then ftp the same images repeatedly with different names? I guess this is a fault of K2?

Correct, as you can only add 1 image to an item.

Correct again because image names are encrypted based on the item ID.
Kind regards,
