Magento – Updating product images programmatically

galleryimagemagento-1.7product

I have created one custom module where user(customer) can upload and edit his own product through frontend( my account ) dashboard. In this I have used code to edit the image and set it to thumbnail, base, and image for uploaded product. But it was not updating the Image. So Later on I tried to change through admin dashboard. Even after setting up thumbnail, small_image and and image but now it is not upating the product image for any product through admin dashboard(backend).

I have used the code

if (!$product->hasSmallImage()) $product->setSmallImage($product->getImage());
if (!$product->hasThumbnail()) $product->setThumbnail(Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'thumbnail'));

I dont know where should check for the error as it is not showing error on admin dashboard as well. I have checked the database for product_entity table and for gallery and it is showing the image.

Have you called $product->save() method after below code?

if (!$product->hasSmallImage())
   $product->setSmallImage($product->getImage());
if (!$product->hasThumbnail()) 
   $product->setThumbnail(Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, array('thumbnail','small_image','image')));

Update:: set the Small Image, Thumbnail and image.

Magento – Uploading images while uploading product programmatically on frontend

There's likely a small issue with the file path somewhere in there. I know that you said you echo'd it out, but you may be missing something like perhaps a leading slash that shouldn't be there, etc.

One little thing I like to do to be 100% sure when inspecting this kind of thing, is to copy the file path, open up terminal, go to the Magento root, then ls <pasted_value> - that way you know for sure if the path is right or not.

The error message that you're seeing is originating in:

Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Attribute_Backend_Media::addImage()
{
    ...
    if (!$file || !file_exists($file)) {
        Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Image does not exist.'));
    }

Magento – Adding images with CSV import

First you have to upload alll the images you want to import in the media/import/yourimagesfolder/

The in the CSV columns for image, thumbnail and small_image your image path should look like this

/yourimagefolder/imagename.jpg
