Does any one in here manage to Import images thru csv ???
Without to have to spend 100000000 hours on it?
Also…
lets see ho many ways i have tryied.
- I installed a cs cart product on a clean domain. (i ve done that 120 times until now)
2.I give all the Read-writes-execute to allo Directories
3.i did an export and evertyhnig its on the CSV
4.I clean up all the rows excpet one on th csv i left only one product
- I replace the filename of product_image1000.jpg to MYIMAGE.JPG
6.I placed the myimage.jpg on the images/backup/detailed_images folder
- I try to Import the CSV and chaneg the Image
- NOT DONE
i ve change tha database to file system and i tryied everthing.
i have import 7500 products so i am not a newbie and i have expirience 25 years now of programming.
now lets do one suggestion.
i think cs-cart team sould do the folow…
- Remove the option INSTALL DEMO CATALOG when you first install the cscart
2.Put a read me file with the locations of images filenames and the DEMO.CSV on the clients PC
3.ASK customer if he likes to import the products from CSV and let him DO IT on his own.
This way you let the customer to Undesrtand the procces.
Imagine if a person wich so mutch expirience cant handle it What about a newbie?
LOL
From the other hand i undertsnad that the support is teh gredits for the company so the cant do it so easy for Us.
Now i would like to tell you one more function who needs recreation.
as i understand the procedure for the importing is realy silly
1)first its reads the stream from the location you have put the images
2)then creates the new image with a temp FIlename on the new location like images/detailed_images
- Then deletes the temporary file
okey lets say you doing that once so no problem with the temp files but the true is far away than this,
imagine that you have to import 10 products codes with common images
lets say
Product Code1 ; Myimage1.jpg
Product Code2 ; Myimage2.jpg
Product Code3 ; Myimage3.jpg
Product Code4 ; Myimage4.jpg
Product Code5 ; Myimage1.jpg
Product Code6 ; Myimage2.jpg
Product Code7 ; Myimage2.jpg
Product Code8 ; Myimage3.jpg
many products have the some photo sometimes.
so the script CANNT rename the myimageTEMP987078.jpg to myimage beacuse the file already EXISTS on the dir and the Functions Hung and leaves the temporary filename on the location
i try to import 1000 pictures 3,4 times
Then i want to my server and i discover 43.000 PICTURES on the detailed)_image folder This is Unprofessional.
Something else
Sometimes you get response timout if you not have a very fast connection
how dificult is for the CS-CART team to put the command
set_time_limit (9999999);
On the index.php and in the admin.php so i dont have to do it all the time???
Strange!!!
i have more 1000 questions but as i am not getting answers on the helpdesk i will be posting my opinion in here.
and as i see that the css cart have a lagg on the response i would like to ask what is the maximum response time from the support?
if i ask a question today in how many days i will get the answer?
i think the best think to do is…
i have 29 days left
Since i ask a qwuastion my TIMER STOPS until i get Answered
otherwise there is no any good for the 30 days.
thats for a start.
regards to all pations in here
some with me.
