How can i be able to import product with images to a store in big commerce? - bigcommerce

I have used .csv file to import products in BigCommerce.Everything is imported correctly except the images, although I have provided the image URL in the .csv file.Can somebody help me out in this regard.

This BigCommerce support article has good info:
https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/article/Importing-Exporting-Products#import-images
A couple very important highlights:
In WebDAV, use this folder: /dav/product_images/import
WebDAV is case-sensitive, so make sure that your file names (including the extension) match those in the import folder. Characters are restricted to a-z, 0-9, - and _.

Barcode Scanner Import Configuration

So I have a question regarding two scanners I have. The main one here being a Datalogic Gryphon GD4500, I have a configuration file on it that I would like to export into my other scanner being a FUZZYSCAN CINO A780. Problem being the DataLogic one has a configuration file of an extension .xml and the cino is a .conf . Is there any way to convert one to another to be able to import it ? Or would the only way be to go through each single setting and program it that way?
Just looking for an easier way to do it.
I have tried converting the config file with no avail.
Even reading the config file would just cause random characters being displayed by the Notepad, which I presume is encrypted.

How to Create a Program Which Searches for Values from a .txt or any Text Document in Specific Folders

I am relatively new to programming and want to create a program which can solve a problem that I frequently have.
So here's the background to my short story: I was on a website which hosted many files (We're talking about around 500-1000 small files). I was then like," Oh sweet! I want to have all these things in my hard drive so I know that I have access to them... but am probably not going to use them either way". I proceeded to download all 500-1000 files on that site, but encountered a problem when I looked at the properties of my destination file. Let's say that out of 500 on the site, my computer only had 499 files. Just my luck. I wanted to know what was that one pesky file that slipped right by me and download that file specifically. What I didn't want to do was to delete all the files and then try my luck once more in downloading all the files from the website. On the site, there was no indication of what all files I downloaded, so I was completely in the blue. I could go in Ctrl+C each item, then Ctrl+V into the file manager search bar, but that would be tedious to repeat that 500 times.
Now, what I want to do: I wanted to go ahead and take all of the file names from the website (The file name that I downloaded and the file name that was in my drive are the same), put them all in a simple .txt document or something (The website has multiple unwanted text alongside the text I need, such as:
. If this is not possible to extract the text from the site like this, then I am ok with manually entering the names via copy paste). Then I want the computer to take these values in the document and then search for it in a specific folder path (Note: the actual files are in subfolders within the root folder I want to choose, so the program has to be able to search within multiple folders of the root). Then I want the computer to know if the value in the document, is present as a file. If the file doesn't exist, then I want that value/those values in the document to be displayed as the output. I want this cycle to repeat until all the values have been gone through. The output should list the values that were not present.
Conclusion: You probably now get at what I am trying to do, if you don't, tell me what I need to elaborate on. I really don't care how this program is made (what language or software), I just want something that works... but myself don't know how to create.
Thanks for reading and any response is appreciated!

Here's a solution in Python in case you would like to explore...
Similar to what you described, all files from the website are listed in an Excel file 'website_files.xlsx'
And all files are saved in a folder 'downloaded_wav'. The script will work regardless the files are saved in the root directory or sub-folders.
Then I run below Python script to look for the missing file:
import pandas as pd
import os
path_folder = 'C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\downloaded_wav'
downloaded_files = []
d,m = 0,0
for path_name, subfolders, files in os.walk(path_folder): #include all subfolders
for file in files:
d+=1
downloaded_files.append(file)
df = pd.read_excel('website_files.xlsx')
for file in df.values:
if file not in downloaded_files:
print('MISSING', file)
m+=1
print(len(df), 'files on website')
print(d, 'files downloaded')
print(m, 'missing file(s) found')
Output:
MISSING ['OLIVER_snare_disco_mixready_hybrid.wav']
3 files on website
2 files downloaded
1 missing file(s) found
No worries; I found a solution by myself using Excel (God, it's powerful!).
Basically, I copied and pasted my values from the website, then used a filter to show the values only with .wav. Then I used a Power Query from the folder to get me a list of all names of files in a folder. Finally, I went ahead and compared the two using a formula:
=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,D,"OK","MISSING")
If you need more elaboration, I'd be happy to help, just reply to this. There might be an easier way, but I personally liked the straight-forwardness of this. You only need Microsoft excel!
EDIT:
For me, I used these two videos which go over the power query and countif function:

In my case, I made my sheet look like this:

delete prestashop import csv files

Simple question: How can I delete the PrestShop import CSV files from the system?
I have tried with FTP as well, I could not locate the files.
It show many rows in the dropdown in the import window and I dont know enymore which is the newest of the same named file.
Your files will be located in admin/import/* (admin here is your backoffice directory, that used to be renamed in the older versions) directory, and deleting through FTP is the best way you can do this. I am not sure about the latest version of Presta, but the major one before it didn't have deletion of these files anywhere in GUI.
The newest file will be the uppermost when choosing in backoffice. The admin/import is where you'll find your csv files to delete all at once rather than one at a time in your back office. Lastly, your folder name may not be called,"admin" but will be called whatever you or for example, your autoinstaller of prestashop named it when you installed prestashop. It will be the same name that you use to login to your back office of prestashop (the name before the "#yoururl.com",".org", etc.

importing openerp translation

I wanted to ask if there is any good way to import many translation files to openerp server? I know I can import one file at a time by using administration menu. But that would take a lot of time.
Thanks
Hello I do understand your concern that is take lot of time and hang ui.
If you are technical Persona then look for the Server Parameter for Internationalization
OpenERP Internationalisation options :
Use these options to translate OpenERP to another language.See i18n
section of the user manual. Option '-d' is mandatory.Option '-l' is
mandatory in case of importation
--load-language=LOAD_LANGUAGE
specifies the languages for the translations you want
to be loaded
-l LANGUAGE, --language=LANGUAGE
specify the language of the translation file. Use it
with --i18n-export or --i18n-import
--i18n-export=TRANSLATE_OUT
export all sentences to be translated to a CSV file, a
PO file or a TGZ archive and exit
--i18n-import=TRANSLATE_IN
import a CSV or a PO file with translations and exit.
The '-l' option is required.
--i18n-overwrite overwrites existing translation terms on updating a
module or importing a CSV or a PO file.
--modules=TRANSLATE_MODULES
specify modules to export. Use in combination with
--i18n-export
Hope this will fix your Point.

Display images with Greek in filenames

I'm building an e-shop in greek and i've come across an important issue regarding the image filenames that users upload to the linux server. If the filename contains greek chars then the file is uploaded normally but the images won't display in the browser. It's important to us that greek filenames are supported as we are counting on searches in greek for both web and image results on Google.
Maybe it's because of server charset filename issue? While your filename is in greek
server translate it at something like Αήι;;΄'.jpgand you have to img srcΑήι;;΄'.jpg
Why aren't they displaying? Do you have an example?
I guess your options depend on how the images are being stored and served back to the users. One thing you could do, in order to preserve the Greek text on the page for search results, may be to serve up the files with a non-Greek name and write the Greek part to the image's alt tag.
This, however, is assuming that you're storing the image files in conjunction with a database of some kind which would contain the necessary meta-data. Basically, upon upload, the image's meta-data (alt text, maybe mime type, anything else important about it) would be written to a record in a database table and then the image file itself can be saved on the file system. Its actual file name could just be the primary key from the table, which can just be an auto-increment field.
