Great. So you are very close on the requirement now.

First investigate how to pass new products with it. When that is working, we can come to the last part "product image upload". If this is not already available, we will have to edit the submit page to get an input (link to the image as she has those already on her server?) and upload to exact field in the mysql database.

Okay... I assume, you were given a tab separated or comma separated file as below.

Code: Select all

ID   NAME    PRICE    IMAGE_LINK
1    ITEM1   10.00    http://mysite.com/item1.jpg
2    ITEM2   12.00    http://mysite.com/item2.jpg
3    ITEM3   15.00    http://mysite.com/item3.jpg
4    ITEM4   16.00    http://mysite.com/item4.jpg
If this is the case, you import this to the database (may be you can specify the fields). In most of the systems I know, you can either provide the image as a URL or upload the image as raw data. If the system supports importing the image as URL, there is almost nothing you need to do. Just set the image to URL.

If the system doesn't support getting images through url, then you will have to modify the script to read the image in URL and then upload raw data to database.

She Needs to Upload those by a CVS file or any other file type. I think She has a List of Products. But I don't know about the images.

Ask her to provide you a sample CVS file. If it is image urls then the solution would be much much easier.

Since this is project specific help, it should go under "Project Assistance". So I move it here.

Big Help Wanted Neo.

I used the module well with my PC's Zen Cart but it isn't working well on Buyers Server
Here Zen Cart Version is Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8

My one is
v1.3.9h

So I tried to try an older version but there are so many files to upload so it's hard

I think this will work if i update zen cart. but I'm afraid to it if i do so if it destroyed. I think it won't happen if i back up the data base but I'm afraid to that too.

Can you tell me a Way?
