Hi,
I have
Joomla 1.5.22
Virtuemart 2.0.18a
PHP 5.3.13
I need an URL option under product images tab like the one we had in VM 1.1 that imports product image from external URL.
I tried tweaking the code but hard luck I didn't make it.
Thanks in advance !

Hello there,
Let me put more light to it. In my earlier version of VM (VM1) all the image are stored to other resourse that why we have used URL in product image tab. But now when we upgrade the version to VM2 and try to migrate the database, VM is populated with all the products but not images. I tried many time to migrate it but with no luck.
Can any body help me how to get all the images from my earlier version to new version.
Thanks in advance.
to use external images from another site?

if you want to migrate the images that are in a different folder,r than thats a different way
Hello,
I appreciate you reply but it seems you might have misunderstood my problem. I was concern about product images not being migrated to new version of VM. Attached image will give you clear picture on my problem.
Please reply what should i do to get all my image appear on VM frontend. I prefer to use URL option only which avoid my server space to be filled up with those images. If this option in not possible what will be the next best option.
Thanks in advance.

Do anyone find any solution for this. As I'm eagerly wait. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
You can use URLS, you must enter int manually into the db with http at begin imho, then it is read as url
Thanks for your reply But sorry I didn't understand what I need to enter manually. Just to inform I have 10,000+ product in my site.
Can you please explain what steps I need to follow while migration.
Thank you.
Any update???
if you use
www.csvimproved.com
then you can set the product image & thumb image url while importing

Hello, I was curious if anyone has found an answer on this as we are having the same trouble. I have attempted to manually insert an external URL as Milbo and others have suggested, but the image is not loading. I tested the link through Chrome and this is the broken value that it is trying to get:
http://localhost/mywebsite.com/components/com_virtuemart/assets/images/vmgeneral/filetype_jpg.png
The value I have updated is in the table "abc_virtuemart_medias " and is formatted with the full address:
file_url = http://www.another-website.com/images/my-image.jpg
Any ideas on why this is not functioning for me?
PS...Thank you for your great component and any help is much appreciated.

sounds like you need to actually build the img src=""
with the image url
