Generic import - oxurlimg problem

English forums
1

I would like to ask what is the right process when i’m trying to upload pictures of article through CSV file.
Pictures are on external URLs in CSV. I filled OXURLIMG, OXPIC1, article description, etc. When the import is done, everything is in its right place - picture URL is in OXURLIMG, picture name is in OXPIC1 and OXPICSGENERATED is 0 (i checked it in mysql). Then when i go to the “front end” there are no generated pictures (only “nopic” pictures).

Hi,

here is a tutorial about the picture handling

AFAIK, you have to set a special parameter in config.inc.php if you want to grab the pictures from another place. Did you do that? Also, in this case, only the picture name shall appear in your database.

Hi Marco,
thanks for the tutorial.
I didn’t set any special parameter in config.inc.php. I set only theme name. Can you tell me what special parameter are you talking about?

Sure. According to

$this->sAltImageDir = "http://[path_to_images_dir_on_server]/";
