Hello,

I have a Virtuemart webshop running and I want to convert it to Hikashop. Everything goes fine unless the images of the products. All the products are imported in Hikashop but none of the products shows the images. When I look in the backend I see that none of the products has any image. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to manually add the images.... I don't hope so, because that's quite a lot.....

regards,
Joost

Hi,

From which virtuemart version are you trying to import your data ?
The HikaShop import (for VM1 or VM2) copy the product image files into his working folder but depending specific VM configuration, it could be possible that the import do not find them (specially on VM2 if the "file_meta" and "file_url" from VM are not corresponding).

Regards,
