XML Import Images
Urgent help please I have purchased a pro license which is working fine with the exception of handling media:

Example : XML Here

Each property node has images:
```
<images>
<image modified="2016-08-02 15:50:22">http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/76/IMG_76_18_large.jpg</image>;
<image modified="2016-08-02 15:50:22">http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/76/IMG_76_1_large.jpg</image>;
<image modified="2016-08-02 15:50:22">http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/76/IMG_76_21_large.jpg</image>;
</images>
```
I simply which to map these to a media folder but receive the below error: Error while importing data for property 'images', datasource record displayAddress = 'New Road, Chatteris', Error :Illegal characters in path

I know how to do this using an Console Application, like this:

Https://github.com/sitereactor/umbraco-console-example

Creating content using ContentService. WebRequest to load the image bytes and MediaService to save. If you want to share my code with you. So just adapt it for your import.

Thanks for coming back to me, sorry I cant make sense of your suggestion I thought the import was capable of doing this as is?

My suggestion is an alternative if the CMSImport does not work. It works great. If you need it urgently there is this alternative. I'm doing a similar migration and I've created a code in the console app for this. The CMSImport license is very expensive for me, due to the devaluation of my currency.

Hi Andrew,

You need to do 2 things:
1. Make sure the media is in a relative path, so CMSImport can access the media
2. Add media2.jupix.co.uk to the domain list in the media settings. See page 32 of the manual. Then it should import fine.
Hope this helps you,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Thank you so much for coming back to me but afraid having implemented the above Im still getting the same error.

See Media settings below:

This is the destination folder I am trying to import to:

Specified domain urls, so url's containing these domain urls will be converted to relative paths,

example

Example Image link

converted to

/v3/clients/1372/properties/9/IMG915_large.jpg

I hope its something really obvious that im missing and appreciate your help.

Please could I get a response on this Ive tried creating the file structure on disk with no luck and recently tried the RTE document type this correctly gets the url from the xml but doesnt import the file.

Are you able to provide some example XML with images that I could look at please?

Sorry not sure what you mean by that the files are not on a disk just urls in an xml feed as per the link I provided in my initial post :

http://services.jupix.co.uk/api/get_properties.php?clientID=ce5385e4d6f49ce36a5e1c0b3fa981d4&passphrase=GHvYG9f

See example structure below:

<properties>
   <property>
      <propertyID>795</propertyID>
        <images>
           <image modified=”2011-04-20 11:20:00”>http://.../IMG_42472_1_large.jpg</image>;
           <image modified=”2011-04-20 11:20:00”>http://.../IMG_42472_2_large.jpg</image>;
       </images>
    </property>
<property>
  <propertyID>796</propertyID>
   ....
  </property>
</properties>

I have also tried modifying the xml removing the modified attribute and also adding a file on disk but still no luck:

<images>
<image>http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/24/IMG_24_13_large.jpg</image>;
<image>C:\Users\andrew.bright\Desktop\About1.jpg</image>

<image modified="2016-12-07 14:33:38">http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/24/IMG_24_10_large.jpg</image>;

I have implemented what I hope is a temporary solution:

I can get to the image Url e.g.

http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/24/IMG2411_large.jpg

Into a text editor as a string and then reference this from an image object :
```
<img src="http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/1372/properties/24/IMG_24_11_large.jpg">
```
However the import still wont create media:

HI Andrew,

Would it be possible to share the site then I can run in debug mode and tell you what is wrong.

I'll delete the environment afterwards.

Best,

Richard

Is this the correct way to import this picture

http://www.website.com/images/image.jpg

add http://www.website.com/ into "parse media for the following domain urls"

And the xml like this

/images/image.jpg

Yes and add the /images folder to your Umbraco site.
