Was this information Helpful?

Hi,
I'm opening a fashion store and therefore have hundreds upon hundreds of images to upload. I know that you can batch upload produts (nodes) using the Node Import module. Where then can I upload multiple images for each node in a batch? I was thinking ftp but not sure.
Any help is much appreciated.

Yifan

Re: How to batch upload images and link them to products?

When using node import, you can specify the image that the product will use.

Upload all of your images to sites/default/files

then you need to add a column in your CSV file that holds the file name of the image for that product.

so for example, if you had product SKU 1001, you could upload 1001.jpg to sites/default/files, then add a column called 'ProductImage' to the CSV and put in 1001.jpg. Then map Image -> ProductImage.

Re: Re: How to batch upload images and link them to products?

I'm trying to follow this, but don't see Image as an option to map to.

Is there a sql database this information is set in, that I could upload that way? Or help on figuring out why the mapping is not there?

I've gotten everything else going but this.

Re: Re: Re: How to batch upload images and link them to products

I prefer to use the Firefox addin called iMacro for large volume of product uploads.

Check it out. I've found it a best fit for me, because I can test out my data and fix any changes in data uploaded easily from Drupal admin.

I don't have to do any MySql application work, just edit inside the drupal.

Re: Re: Re: Re: How to batch upload images and link them to prod

Could you give more info on how that would work for this? I'm still not understanding how ubercart matches the images to the product listing, so not sure how I could automate the process.
