[Solved] [1.4.3.0] How to link images to product

[Pepozzo]

Hello!

I've uploaded to my img/p/ folder about 3000 images by a PHP script that generate the image name in the format "id_category-id_product.jpg".

So, now i would link each image with its product.

How can i do that?

(i've also tried to generate new thumbnails, but nothing happened)

Thank you in advance

Hi,
The right way to link images to products is by using CSV import. Create a CSV file with this format:

product id;product name;image url

for example:

10;product10;C:\Tulips.jpg
11;product11;C:\Koala.jpg

Then use the product import tool in BO.

Regards,

Yes, i know. But i've a lot of images and if i try to upload them with the CSV importer i receive a "Timeout Error", cause i can't modify the max_execution_time. =(

So i'm trying to find another solution, if it's possible.

Thank you!

You can split the CSV file in smaller files, so that it doesn't exceed your server max execution time. The import tools makes changes to the database to link the images to products, that's why you cannot just copy the image files.

Ok, i will try to split the CSV.

Thank you very much!
