Importing Images

Hi Robby,


Yes I did make that same change. I have tried numerous options with both 
the XML and csv files. For testing I have copied the Collectorz images 
folder to the desktop of my test laptop and I cahnged the paths in the 
XML and csv to /home/glen/Desktop/Images/ instead of the original 
windows path. I have not been able to get images to import.

I also had trouble getting some values in some of the fields imported. I 
have some titles where the medium isn't DVD but is XviD. I noticed the 
field had a list of acceptable values so I added XviD to the list and 
the csv accepted that but the XML did not. I think I will need to do 
some customisation to Tellco fields before I import the full database.

Thanks for your help with this.

Glen
