I am trying to update my import definition to allow images to be imported into the content.
In my spreadsheet I have a column which is mapped to a rich editor property, in this column I have the some text and the path to an image /img/test.jpg. I have set up the import definition to import the images and made sure the img folder is on the root of the site with test.jpg in it. The image does not get imported however.
Am I missing something or can images not be imported if they are included with other text. I am using CMS Import 2.4 on umbraco 4.11.9
Can you send the piece of content you want to map? You can also send it to [email protected] Would love to see what is wrong. That said I don't have an environment with 2.4 anymore but don't think there will be much difference in this for 2.4 and 2.5.x
While I was putting together an email to you I found out what the problem was ;)
As I was just testing whether we could import images I just appended the image file path to the end of a piece of text as I thought the import would occur on any file path style text that was found.
this is some text with an image \img\test.jpg
The image doesn't seem to be imported however unless it is in a proper img tag and the import settings are set to Force HTML decode.
this is some text with an image <img src="\img\test.jpg" />

Hi Suzy,
Did you press the green button next to the mapping column? Then you can specify the media import settings and it should be imported correctly.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I've ticked the box to enable image import and selected a folder for the images to be imported into.

That explains and that's why I needed a piece of content :) Glad you figured it out.
