Hi Roland

Using:
CSVi Pro 5.20
VirtueMart 3.0.6


Trying to import and store on own server remote images

For example:

External image held at http://officeneedsdirect.opnet.co.uk/Images/252/129705.jpg

Want to store in default VM folder myserver........images/stories/virtuemart/category/

Found a tutorial for VM2 about image imports and it mentions this is possible by setting "Save images on server" flag to yes on import template which i have done. Then specified "File location category images" to http://officeneedsdirect.opnet.co.uk/Images/252/ and file_url in template to 129705.jpg

It returns error message stating no file exists.

Have i got this right or is there a tutorial to store remote images on your own server?

Kind regards

Tim

Hello Tim,

You should set the File location category images to the proposed file location. If what I see is correct then your filename is incomplete. The image filename must start with http or https. Do you have that in your file?
Kind regards,

Hi Roland

Yes i do, sorry should have included.

I have attached screenshots of my setting, import result and debug log for your info. Not sure it matters but notice import result appears to drop one of the / from http://

Kind regards

Tim,

You have set the Path incorrect in your template. Use the Suggested path not the path on the remote server. That should fix your import.
Kind regards,
