Hello,
You need to use ImagesLocation/image in your field for reading the first image. If you are looking at importing all the images in your XML then you need to use Combine rule plugin to combine the multiple fields into one and by using | as combine character as file_url imports multiple images separated by | like image1.jpg|image2.jpg|image3.jpg.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello,
You need to post the screenshot of how you have your combine rule set up and also your template fields.
Kind regards,

Hello,
Did you go through the Combine rule document linked in my previous post? You need to follow the same procedure for your file_url field though the document has been explained for product_s_desc field. The way you have combine rule setup now wont work. Add combine template fields after file_url field, the number of combine fields will be the number of images you want to combine and import. In the source field you need to have file_url,combine,combine...(number of combine fields you have in your template) and the target field will be file_url. Do the changes to your rule and apply the rule on file_url field and then run the import.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

ok i saw the "Combine Tutorial"...

So i have to create 'x' number of fields for each image and add them in sequential order so they can be grabbed correctly from the XML file.
After that i have to assign those in the "file_url" field so they can be combined.

Ok i will try this when i get back to the office and let you know!

thanks again
