Adding images to my site

[prbhasson]

Hello,

 

All my images from my supplier come in csv format but I have one problem. The images are listed like this: hxxp://www.2buypcs.com/mmPCSNEW/Images/100x100/SNN5836.gif.

 

Is there a way to use these in osc or do I have to remove all the information before SNN5836.gif to get them to show up in osc? There has to be an easier way than manually removing as I have thousands of images to load.

 

Any help is appreciated!!!!

 

Thanks

Randy,

 

Normally you would load each image as you create the product. However, you could use Easy Populate to upload product information in Bulk.

Hello,

 

Thanks Chris. I do use easy populate. I guess you don't understand my question.

 

when I get the picture file from my supplier it has the full URL link. When I upload that the

 

pictures do not show up in my store. If I remove the url and leave just the image name they show up. This is a tedious task

when you have thousands of products. Is there another way to do this?

 

Thanks

Hi Randy,

 

No, I did not understand exactly what you are saying. That does pose a problem and unfortunately I don't know of any contribution that would strip the URL from the image name.

Thanks for trying though. Hopefully I will find something that works.

If the format is ALWAYS like this you could try around with "explode" or something like this, to create a function to get the right image name. You can read about here

If you're on a Windowz platform I'm fairly certain I could write a program (.EXE) that would strip the URL from the CSV file for you.

 

And it shouldn't take very long to contrive.

 

A few hours maybe.

Thanks for the offer. I have resolved the problem though. I contacted my supplier and they were able to get me a zip file with all their images.

Within easypoplate.php you could strip off the prefix.

 

Say the value hxxp://www.2buypcs.com/mmPCSNEW/Images/100x100/SNN5836.gif is in $image

 

$img_name = csv_explode('/', $image);
$image = $items[6]

 

The only problem is if the supplier starts messing about with the depth of the directory structure.

 

You could adapt this ( straight from php.com )

 

<?php
$path = "/home/httpd/html/index.php";
$file = basename($path);         // $file is set to "index.php"
?>

 

So much quicker than a windows exe.
