Import Multiple Images with Magmi

Question

I'm trying to import multiple product images into Magento using magmi and also add products to different category trees in the same import.

I've tried using ; to separate images under the media_gallery csv column heading and also to separate categories in the categories column heading.

I'm getting now errors when I run the import but only one image and category is being created. the second image is being totllay missed and the ';' in the category is being added as a category as a character.

Answer 1

The issue here was I was renaming the images with {item.name}-{item.sku}.jpg, so both images were getting the same name and being overwritten. I just removed the image renaming from the magmi config and it worked.

Answer 2

You want to use double ; to separate the categories for example Cat1;;Cat2

And for the media gallery I have found setting a blank label seems to help although this shouldn't be necessary so that the format here would be URL1::;URL2::

Hope this helps.
