Can images be replaced and not appended to? Category separator escaping?

[patrick-bigbridge]

Ah, yes indeed, this is a recent addition, and I haven't added it to the Rest API.
Hold on, I'll get right at it.

Thanks Chris!

Images can be replaced by changing the "image strategy", as follows:

$config->imageStrategy = ImportConfig::IMAGE_STRATEGY_SET;

In stead of escaping the category, you can specify a different category path separator with the property "categoryNamePathSeparator", for example "Default Category#Car Parts#Brakes#Seals / Repair Parts"

$config->categoryNamePathSeparator = "#";

If you're using XML import, look for the options path-separator and image.

Hi Patrick,

Many thanks for the speedy reply. I'm using XML via Rest.

I can see the notes for path-separator but not image here https://github.com/bigbridge-nl/product-import/blob/master/doc/xml-webapi-import.md

Am I looking in the wrong place?

[patrick-bigbridge]

That's the right place, but I forgot to document this option. It should read:

image=set

I updated the page just now.

[chrisastley]

Great, thanks for the updated info. I'd managed to find it digging into the source code and also found another option I can't find in the documentation.

In this file vendor/bigbridge/product-import/Api/ImportConfig.php

public $categoryStrategy = self::CATEGORY_STRATEGY_ADD; const CATEGORY_STRATEGY_ADD = 'add'; // Only add and update category links const CATEGORY_STRATEGY_SET = 'set'; // Add and update category links; and also remove existing category links not named in the import

But I can't see this option in the following file;
vendor/bigbridge/product-import/Api/ProductImportWebApi.php

Is this as simple as me adding the option in or is the functionality not working?

[chrisastley]

Great, will keep an eye out for the next release.

[patrick-bigbridge]

I went through all options in the cli command and the Rest API. I put the options in the same order and added documentation.

Created a new release: 1.5.3

[chrisastley]

Thank you, all working as expected now.

That's good to hear. For now I'll close this issue, and if you find anything else, just open a new issue.
