Manage Product – Product Detail – Images Tap
There are
Base Image / Small Image / Thumbnail / Exclude / Remove
I found most of my image have checked on 'Exclude'
I tried to uncheck or check but can't find anything different
What do this checkbox? Do I have to check or uncheck?
Curious exactly mean the checking 'Exclude'
Here is given programmatically adding media images to product, you can adjust this code to your own importing script:
$mediaGalleryAttribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
->loadByCode(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, 'media_gallery');
$mediaGallery = $mediaGalleryAttribute->getBackend();
$attrCode = $mediaGalleryAttribute->getAttributeCode();
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
$mediaGalleryData = $product->getData($attrCode);
/**
* If you want to remove old images use this code
*/
if (isset($mediaGalleryData['images'])) {
foreach ($mediaGalleryData['images'] as &$image) {
$image['removed'] = 1;
}
$product->setData($attrCode, $mediaGalleryData);
}
/**
* Here is real image file path
*/
$thumbnailFile = 'real/path/to/thumbnail/file.jpg';
$imageFile = 'real/path/to/image/file.jpg';
try {
//Set thumbnail
$imageFileUri = $mediaGallery->addImage($product, $thumbnailFile, null, false, false);
$mediaGallery->setMediaAttribute($product, 'thumbnail', $imageFileUri);
//Set image (or base image, small image whatever you want
$imageFileUri = $mediaGallery->addImage($product, $imageFile, null, false, false);
$mediaGallery->setMediaAttribute($product, 'image', $imageFileUri);
$product->save();
} catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::logException($e);
}

if an image has the
Excludecheckbox checked, it will not appear in the product view page in the media gallery images. (small thumbnails).But it can still be the base image or small image or thumbnail.
It is very useful when you don't want image duplicates.
So you should check the
Excludecheckbox for the image you set as base image.
