Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 How many images is it importing? How large are the image files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusinessCheapUKDeals Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 its a csv file the images are links all it is, is just text, it has the products in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Right, but during the import prestashop will grab the images then convert them to all of the sizes that are entered in prestashop. So they do matter. Also, how long does it take to time out during the import? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusinessCheapUKDeals Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 that makes sense with the images, they are around 50kb give or take some, is there any way i can fix this still, i dont mind the speed it runs at as long as they all get uploaded as i have to upload around 8000+ per day and it only uploads around 65 before crashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 WEll, if the image link is not in the file, or if you select to ignore the image column it should process faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusinessCheapUKDeals Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 so there is no way i can import this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Not with having such a low timeout. Most hosts will let you adjust it, but ones that do not there is not really a way. You can do it locally on your computer and then import the database tables to prestashop and upload the images by hand, but it takes some time. I would suggest moving to a host that will let you adjust the timeout time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't know who PrestaShop recommends in the UK, you might look at their hosting partners list. I know A2 has an iceland location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Honestly I don't know, It might have some way to get around it. It might be able to do batches or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
