I'm currently working around one script which programmatically add products. Right now I have problem with the part that this script gets an image from URL and upload it to a directory and then use it as a product image.
I am using Magento 1.9.1.
So here is the part of the script which is supposed to take the image from the URL and upload it to the new product as product image:
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($new_product_id);
$url = 'http://media.asicdn.com/images/jpgo/6080000/6089330.jpg';
$img = '/media/catalog/product/images/image1.jpg';
file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url));
$product->setMediaGallery (array('images'=>array (), 'values'=>array ()));
$product->addImageToMediaGallery ($img , array ('image','small_image','thumbnail'), false, false);
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
$product->save();
When I do that I receive error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Mage_Core_Exception' with message 'Image does not exist.' in /home/superweb/public_html/sportsdirect/app/Mage.php:595 Stack trace: #0 /home/superweb/public_html/sportsdirect/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Attribute/Backend/Media.php(274): Mage::throwException('Image does not ...') #1 /home/superweb/public_html/sportsdirect/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product.php(1047): Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Attribute_Backend_Media->addImage(Object(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product), '/media/catalog/...', Array, false, false) #2 /home/superweb/public_html/sportsdirect/SignProduct.php(63): Mage_Catalog_Model_Product->addImageToMediaGallery('/media/catalog/...', Array, false, false) #3 {main} thrown in /home/superweb/public_html/sportsdirect/app/Mage.php on line 595
The product is created but there is no image for the product.
/media/? You may need to update your path to something like../media/relative to you script path
