Thread: Uploaded images do not show up

I am getting the products uploaded to our development site, and am having issues with the images. I create a product message, with only the "product" "images" and "large" elements in the message. i get back a status OK on the update from WSI. I reset my cache, but still, it shows no image attached to the product. i have double checked the GUID for the product, and it is valid. i can update the fields associated with the product, but cannot seem to get the image uploaded.

i went so far as to dump it to my local drive before sending it, and the image is a valid jpg. then, i base64 encode it and stuff it into the <Large> element, but it never shows up on the site, even after cache reset.

any ideas?

Which version of AspDotNetStorefront are you running? Is there any way you could attach a sample xml document for one of the products that you are uploading (with base-64 image data) so that we can review the syntax?

we are running version 8.0.1.1 (i got this from the project leader. did not see it myself anywhere).

i will attach a much smaller image (current image is 43K) to the material, then attach the message here.

Code:

bumping this for possible help. we need to be able to load our images via WSI, and right now, it simply is not working.

I had the same issue and it was related to my base64 encoding. In the WSI upload window there was an error saying it was unable to write the file to disk .. I had to really look close to see the error though. So what I did was wrote some code to decode the base64 encoded image and voila, it was not a valid encoding.

My issue in particular was the code I was using to encode the image, it had a slight defect in it.

I am still struggling with image uploads. I cannot seem to get any base64 images to upload correctly, even using multiple different encoders. Has anyone devised a way to upload images using a string to the image path (whether local or on a remote website?) I.E. uploading the image through XML by including a path to the image such as C:\images\image1.jpg or http://www.website.com/images/image1.jpg and bypassing the base64 process altogether.

The image name can be supplied in the < ImageFilenameOverride > element. The syntax is shown in the manual. The path is not configurable; we look in \web\images\product\<icon, medium, or large> for product images.

Just to close off this issue, it WAS the image file override. when i passed the SKU as the image file name, the image showed up.

now, if i could get it to resize...
