Hi, when importing virtuemart products it does not import the images and the categories for each product. Attached is the .csv file. I have used the same category Id like in the previous shop.
Any help appreciated.

Hello,
For importing category, you need to use category_path field instead of category_id. CSVI creates or updates a category based on category_path field. You can check the example about category_path in documentation Importing Virtuemart products

Regarding the image, CSVI will set the default path for the image, you can try importing only with image name excluding the path.
Try doing import with these changes and if you still have issues, Please send us the debug log of the import to check for issues.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hi tharuna, thank you. I have tried to use the category_path, mapped also correctly, and it still doesn't works.
The same with the images, I have tried to add the full path with the domain, no path and path like in the attached file, but nothing changed, I always get the default vm image for the imported products.

Attached is the log data and the csv.

Hello,
I tested your file and see that categories are getting imported and assigned to the products correct. For the image as i said you need to just import the image name else CSVI will look for image in the path like "/images/stories/virtuemart/product/images/stories/virtuemart/product/1kohaku23.jpg", notice that path has been repeated twice.

Can you send me the screenshot of your template and template fields settings? Also the debug log was missing in your message. Please post that too.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hi tahruna, I have also tried to delete the full path of the image, but with no success.
The csv, the screenshot of the mapped fields and the logfiles are attached.

Hello,

Looking at the image I see you have salesprice but this field won't be used for import. It doesn't do any harm but only wanted to inform you of that.

The field picture_url is incorrect. In your mapping it is linked to product_url, this is a completely different field. You should map it to the file_url field. The picture_url field is only used in export. This is also the reason why nothing is being done with your image. Make that change and I believe your images should be processed.
Kind regards,
