i have problem importing product to magento using csv file
1: i have image url instead of image path , how can i save image from url as default magento takes path
2: it is difficult for layman to get catgory id and put in csv file.
i want to import product via catrgory name
cat 1 > child cat 1 > sub cat > rest product detail
how can i do this is there any module to do this
I use magmi http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Main_Page - which supports both the image from a URL and the Category Import you are after
Images = http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=Image_attributes_processor
Image Processor accepts URL as valid image location for any type of image (standard or extra) Image processor will download the remote images & put them in the appropriate directory for magento usage.
Example
...,image,media_gallery,.... ....,http://someexternalserver.com/img/myimage.jpg;http://someexternalserver.com/img/extraimage1.jpg::myextralabel;....
Categories = http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php?title=On_the_fly_category_creator/importer
Sample syntax taken from the wiki
level1/level2/level3;;level1bis/level2bis/level3bis
If you use magmi I recommend you password protect the magmi directory
You can use https://github.com/avstudnitz/AvS_FastSimpleImport which suppports image urls too.
I don't understand 2.
