Hi,

Is it possible to maintain a product image and add to it via import without having to specify the original image?

So lets say product A has image a.jpg
When I import product A info with image b.jpg image a.jpg is still maintained for that product.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no option for that. You would have to have image a.jpg listed in the CSV.
You could remove the code Code:

$this->db->setQuery('DELETE FROM '.hikashop_table('file').' WHERE file_ref_id IN ('.implode(',',$ids).') AND file_type=\''.$db_type.'\''); $this->db->execute();

(twice in the file) in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helper/import.php so that it doesn't remove already existing entries from the database when doing the import.
Note however that this means that if you have already image a.jpg in the database and you import image a.jpg your product will end up with image a.jpg twice in the product.
