Magento: How to exclude image from gallery programmatically? - magento

Question

I am creating products and images programmatically. The only thing that is not working is the "exclude from gallery" feature.
See http://snag.gy/QGhPg.jpg for details.
How would I set that in the code? My current code looks like that:
$product->addImageToMediaGallery($myImage, array('image','thumbnail','small_image'), false, false);
The flag is called disabled I think, not sure though.
Thanks!

Answer 1

For example, disable all images for a product
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load(12345);
$images = $product->getMediaGalleryImages();
$attributes = $product->getTypeInstance(true)->getSetAttributes($product);
$mediaGalleryAttribute = $attributes['media_gallery'];
foreach ($images as $image) {
$mediaGalleryAttribute->getBackend()->updateImage($product, $image['file'], array('exclude' => true));
}
$product->save();

Answer 2

Try to use:
$product->addImageToMediaGallery($myImage, array('image','thumbnail','small_image'), false, true);
The last parameter should be set to true to exclude the image from gallery.
See: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product.php.

Answer 3

Try below code..first save product and insert image
$productid=10; // Product id of that product which image you want to update
//for remove existing Images
$loadpro=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productid);
$mediaApi = Mage::getModel("catalog/product_attribute_media_api");
$mediaApiItems = $mediaApi->items($loadpro->getId());
foreach($mediaApiItems as $item) {
$datatemp=$mediaApi->remove($loadpro->getId(), $item['file']);
}
$loadpro->save(); //before adding need to save product
//for add new images
$loadpro=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($loadpro->getId());
$loadpro->addImageToMediaGallery($loadpro, array ('image','small_image','thumbnail'), true, false);

Answer 4

$mediaArray = array(
'thumbnail' => $oscProduct['products_image'],
'small_image' => $oscProduct['products_mediumimage'],
'image' => $oscProduct['products_largeimage'],
);
// Remove unset images, add image to gallery if exists
$importDir = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import/';
foreach ( $mediaArray as $imageType => $fileName ) {
$filePath = $importDir . $fileName;
if ( file_exists($filePath) ) {
try {
$product->addImageToMediaGallery($filePath, $imageType, false);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
} else {
echo "Product does not have an image or the path is incorrect. Path was: {$filePath}<br/>";
}
}
Note: $imageType is not an array, as your counterpart is.
Edit: You only want one image, and to set it as each type. After you save the product with $product->save(), try something like the following, assuming you have set the image type already:
$product->setThumbnail($product->getImage());
$product->setSmallImage($product->getImage());
$product->save();
