I asked a question in magento stack exchange about magmi image upload. I didn't get any response till now. I wanted to ask the SO community the same question to see if I can get any help. I'll copy the question here.
I am using Magmi to upload images to products in magento. Magmi version is 0.7.21. I am having some issues while uploading new images to products that already has some images.
The issue is that, when I upload new images with new base image set, the old base image gets deleted. The behaviour I expect is to change the base image flag and keep the old base image in gallery instead of completely removing the old image.
I am completely new to Magmi. I am not sure what details are needed to figure out this issue. I can update the question if someone ask me for more specific details. Any help is much appreciated.
In magmi uploading the base image will overwrite current base image - this is just default magmi behaviour. you need to either include the new base image under the base image header and add the existing images as media gallery images under a media_gallery header in the following format - sku_01.jpg::sku_label;/sku_02.jpg::sku_label;/sku_03.jpg::sku_label; or forget about the base image and add the new image under the media_gallery header.

I am trying to upload listing to magento using Magmi. All works fine except adding extra images with media_gallery. I am using images from remote server and separating hrefs with semicolons as in example in docs. but still having problems.
Peace from csv:
..,media_gallery,...
..,http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxNjAw/z/n4YAAOSw5dNWoA55/$_57.JPG,http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQ3M1g5ODI/z/lFwAAOSwkZhWTOOF/$_57.JPG;http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQ3M1g5ODI/z/vX4AAOSwZVhWTOOC/$_57.JPG,..
Am I doing something wrong with this column?
Found the problem, it was image name, because it is same it gets overwritten. You have to make sure that images in media_gallery has different names. In this case renaming functionality in configuration would not help, as it will rename all images to same name again.
On my website Magento adds _1 to the end of some Image urls.
So my normal basic urls should be ...media/catalog/product/cache/9/A/E/test-small.png
but somehow for some images it alters to ...media/catalog/product/cache/9/A/E/test3-small_1.png
My normal image names are unique numbers so I´m confused why this happens?
Could anyone help?
Magento will add a _1 after any image if the file already exists on the server.
Please mind that Magento is not doing cleaning of the images of products when / if you delete one product.
It is magento's by default feature, if the image name you are trying to upload already exist it will rename your current image name with _Number. Check before uploading.
Thanks
If anyone comes across this post using M2 and is having the same issue. Check out the media/tmp folder. I was working on an api image sync and the name kept having a _1, _2 etc after the image.
It turns out Magento doesn't always give a clear reason if something fails in the api so the file was making it to the tmp directory but never the final destination causing the file name issue.
Can someone please explain me what is the procedure of getting a picture to a product in the WCMS?
What am I missing?
I'm uploading the file, attaching media format to it, but as soon as go to the website and check the product there is no image but "image coming soon" ...
You might want to be more specific about which image you're talking about, which image format, and where exactly it is that you're checking your product's image afterwards. Also which version of hybris you're using.
But there are a couple of things you could try:
Make sure that the Product and the Medias have been synchronised to the online catalog;
If it's an image from the galleryImages, make sure that the media container in the gallery has also been synchronised;
You might also want to clear your hybris cache. Go to HAC - Monitoring - Cache - Clear Cache; Or clear other caches, such as JAWR or Varnish.
Are you sure you mean WCMS and not the product cockpit?
I've installed Magmi, configured it and installed it too
Iam able to get products into my site, BUT prob is: Iam unable to see any image, since image urls all are from remote..
My image url looks like: http://www.fashion58.com/itemimages/SMS032-navy.jpg
Even iam not sure whether to change 'image renaming' or not, BUT at end all I need is : my remore image urls should able to display in my site..
Awaiting response!
EDITED:
My feed Column names are: store,websites,type,attribute_set,is_affiliate_product,status,visibility,qty,is_in_stock,tax_class_id,weight,name,meta_keyword,description,sku,manufacturer,price,merchant_buy_link,image,main_category,color,for,shoe_type,short_description,thumbnail,category_ids,merchant_name,merchant_id,small_image
A) and Do I really need to use 'Image attributes processor' plugin inorder to display remote image urls? or else Magmi just enough to render images for remote image urls?
B) If YES for 'Image attributes processor', what settings I need to change in it?
C) What could be still wrong?
Your image URL is incorrect. It needs to be an absolute URL of an actual image (not just a page with the image embedded on it).

I am new to magento so basically unable to figure out a solution for a current problem at hand. We have an eCommerce store built on top of magento. Now, we need to have a form in which the user can fill in some details and upload their image. How can this be effectively done in magento.
As of now, I am thinking of having a form page with upload php script and then save the details in CSV text file. Is this the right way to go for it. Also, we might need to add this information as a customer and use it later.
Actually we are starting a monthly item delivery system for which we need to have customers information and photo. Just throw some light on the issue and let me know how to go about it. Thanks
Check the below link, it show how to upload and saved a image in Magento.
