Import Pro - images in multiple directories?

Hi JoomDonation

I've recently purchased Import Pro to help with the set up of an e-commerce site with lots (and lots!) of products.

I see that the Excel file structure supports a main image and additional images. Can you let me know;

1. If I wish the product images to be sorted into different directories (by product type, or brand, or some other criteria), can I add a path into the excel field and, if so, what is it relative to? Can you give na example?

2. Whats the separator for multiple images in the additional images column? A comma?

Thanks in advance

Hello Peter Mee,

Thank you for submitting your questions here:

1. Currently, EShop does not supports to divide the product images into the sub-folder. You must put all of them into media/com_eshop/products folder.

2. By default, it is ;

Hope that my answers are useful.

Sincerely, Giang

Thanks for the clear answer.

Perhaps a future version will support sub-directories? I am building a site with >5,000 products, many of which will have multiple images and with a very high degree of annual turnover.

That's going to be a very cumbersome folder to manage.

Further, is there a way to batch DELETE products using the import tool?

I don't see how in the documentation. Would be handy to have the ability to do so.

Hello Peter,

OK. I will check more on that in the future.

To delete batch of products, please go to Products manager to do that.

Sincerely, Giang
