Magento – Magmi import extra images, how

importmagento-1.8magmi

First of all, thanks for MAGMI, Dweeves

I've been able to get Magmi working to import the product data without an issue.

The image, small_image and the thumbnail are visible on admin and front-end.

I am trying now for days to import the rest of the additional images, but so far I have no luck.

The image name is the same as the SKU,
for example 9781907339363.jpg, SKU is 9781907339363.

The additional images are 9781907339363_01.jpg, 9781907339363_02.jpg, 9781907339363_03.jpg …etc…

or

SKU, image,"additional image"
1000629871, 1000629871.jpg, "1000629871.1.jpg, 1000629871.2.jpg, 1000629871_3.jpg" …etc…

I hope that it is not a option to put all off these additional images by name in the csv file, i have about 50.000 SKU and about 120.000 images.
So not all the SKU has addional images.

I hope somebody can give me a direction how to import the addional images.

Best Answer

In your CSV file, the header for your extra images must be titled : media_gallery

then is should contain the following structure for additional images:

sku_01.jpg::sku_label;/sku_02.jpg::sku_label;/sku_03.jpg::sku_label;

(note 1: in this example the separator is ; so make sure it's the case in your magmi settings)

(note 2: image, small_image, thumbnal, image_label, thumbnail_label must also be in the CSV. In other words, you must not include the first image inside media_gallery, but only the additional ones.

More info from the magmi wiki: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/magmi/index.php?title=Image_attributes_processor#media_gallery_.28extra_images.29_column_syntax*

I hope this helps.

edit - your images must be located in media/import Are your images taken from a remote url ? Or are they on your magento server ?
