Note: This image import option is only available for self-hosted systems. Customers which are hosted on the Xentral cloud have the possibility to import images via the file browser.

In order to import articles with the corresponding images, you can use the following example script. This script and the corresponding CSV file should be placed in the importer folder of the Xentrals folder. The present example script is for the example CSV file obst.csv, which is shown here as a table. In the table of the CSV file many columns for further properties can be created. In the following only the basis is shown. It should be noted: In the column Image the path to the images must be specified, but no links. This action is only if the images are not located in the same folder as the script. If the articles already exist in user-Xentral only the images are to be added, the article number and a column with the path for the image. The code has to be adapted accordingly. This script is called bilderimport.php artikel namedercsvdatei.csv in the command line in the folder importer of the respective Xental, if the script was saved.

Example CSV file: obst.csv

Example add images to existing articles

The following import script can be used to add new images to existing articles. For this, a unique property of an article is required, e.g. the article ID, the article number or the EAN. In the example the article number as unique property to find out the ID of the article, which is needed for linking the images to the article.
