Title: Side-load images from another website?
Post by: jimcooncat on February 27, 2019, 08:03:52 PM

I have another web address with photos I would like to use for my products, rather than uploading from my own computer. In other words, I would like to import them into AbanteCart using the Resource Library. Preferably, be able to specify multiple URLs. Can I do it from the Admin web interface?

Hello.

When you import product via CSV you can set an external urls for images so they will be downloaded and added to resource library automatically.

In admin you can add Resource as html but this will require some development in storefront

Thank you, Basara! I'm going to more towards doing imports as quickly as I can figure them out, then.
