programmatically add product

[ArmandHeijder]

Hello there,

I have a script that programmatically adds products from a xml, now i would like to incorporate your plugin to add the external images and i use the following script

function Generate_Image( $post_id, $image_url, $flag ){ if( $flag == 0){ update_post_meta($post_id,'_knawatfibu_url',$image_url); } if( $flag == 1 ){ # Add gallery image to product $attach_id_array = get_post_meta($post_id,'_knawatfibu_wcgallary', true); $attach_id_array .= ','.$image_url; update_post_meta($post_id,'_knawatfibu_wcgallary',$attach_id_array); } }

But it does not seem to add the image to the product meta,

Could you please help me?

Thanks!

Hello! I see that you assigned someone to take up this 'issue', is there an update?

[Super-Saiyan-Mohamed]

There will be an update soon but right now we are working in the Woocommerce plugin.

Hello, thank you for your response, what can i expect with soon? I got a webshop that needs to import 30000 products with multiple images, and needs to go live in the end of the week, and you can imagine the server size if i need to import the images to the server.. If you could please look into it for me? I could even help translate the plugin to Dutch or something in return

Hi,

After searching online for this solution, i got here thanks to you. Your function is simple and clean, but you are trying to use array as string, it is impossible and not right. We need to supply URL and SIZES to the database. I changed it and now it is working perfectly.

function Generate_Image( $post_id, $image ) {
	
	if( array_key_exists('img_url', $image) ) { // Featured image

		update_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_url', $image );

	} else { // Gallery image

		$attach_id_array = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_wcgallary', true );
		$attach_id_array[] = $image;
		update_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_wcgallary', $attach_id_array );

	} 
	
}

// Example for image data array to insert/update featured image
$image = array( 'img_url'=>'https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-pdb/49816/6e931887-5667-4080-9fc2-125f5d7e2b5c/s1200', 'width'=>693, 'height'=>960 ); 

// Example for image data array to insert/update gallery
$image = array( 'url'=>'https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-pdb/49816/6e931887-5667-4080-9fc2-125f5d7e2b5c/s1200', 'width'=>693, 'height'=>960 );

Thanks.

Hi smoove,

Thankyou for your help! I got the Featured image working, but for some reason I cant seem to get the Gallery image working..

I get the images from an API and I try to loop through them with the following code:
(I only want to show the first two images that I get back from the API)

$img_nr = 0; foreach ($product->images->image as $image) { if($img_nr == 0){ $the_image = array( 'img_url'=>"$image", 'width'=>675, 'height'=>900 ); Generate_Image($product_id, $the_image); $img_nr++; }else if ($img_nr == 1){ $the_image = array( 'url'=>"$image", 'width'=>675, 'height'=>900 ); Generate_Image($product_id, $the_image); $img_nr++; } }
Do you see what the problem is?

The function (Generate_Image) is the same as in your response!

Thanks a lot!

Sure, no problem.

It will be easier to get a sample of export of that API. Copy paste here just few products as an array, how they showing at your end.

I guess in your case it will be a screenshot of the export of these lines.

echo "<pre>";
print_r( $product );
echo "</pre>";

Hope i can help.

I have a question... Does this filter code apply to using a column in my Woocommerce product import CSV file? Instead of default "Image" that Woocommerce uses, I would title my columns "_knawatfibu_url" and "_knawatfibu_wcgallary" so that when I do my product import it does not also import the media files to the media library?

function Generate_Image( $post_id, $image ) {
   
   if( array_key_exists('img_url', $image) ) { // Featured image

   	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_url', $image );

   } else { // Gallery image

   	$attach_id_array = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_wcgallary', true );
   	$attach_id_array[] = $image;
   	update_post_meta( $post_id, '_knawatfibu_wcgallary', $attach_id_array );

   } 
   
 }
