additional image link, image library, wrong urls

Good solution for the image link.
You get the hang of the possibilities of our plugin ??

But i have to stress to keep to the WordPress and Woocommerce guidelines and best practise. There are so many solutions possible that plugin developer can never support al these solutions. Some solutions will make things not better but worse and will make your shopping platform unstable.

We can not support all solutions and are not the plugin that solves every situation created by “work-arrounds” in WordPress.

That said our plugin is very powerful and you can alter data from the database like you did for the image issue.

AUke.

Hi Auke,

I fully understand that not all kind of solutions can be supported but from my point of view it looks more like an wrong db-query because the output of g:additional_image_link differs very much. Sometimes the right images are returned, sometimes the wrong ones and, what I discovered new, sometimes none or even more then are assigned are returned.
In other words: comparing the feed of some of my products (let’s say men t-shirts) with my frontend like customers would see it. All of the products have additional images assigned, hovering over these I see the coorect url (otherwards they would not have been displayed there), so my black shirt have 3 additional images (of course in black), the feed is returning one black image and two more comming from a totaly different product (actually grey ones from a women t-shirt :), looking at the red shirt (has 3 additional red images) none of them is returned, looking on a woman shirt in black which has 4 additionals assigned, 7 are returned (3 images where removed during setting up the product, 3 new were added instead).
Actually we’re using the same theme enfold as you do at your site. And I just reporting that as an matter of feedback – and of course because I don’t understand why it behaves like that. My 5-star rating for your plugin will be untouched – I would even give 10 ??
If you want me to open my test environment for you again or send you some info out of my database feel free to contact me via my email which you already have.

You are right Tom it is a db-query thing. We assume that images are stored “the right” way, the wordpress standard way. Plugins, themes can do it in several other way’s like not storing the complete url.

This is not something your users will see on the front of the website because browsers understand that /somedir/someimage.jpg belongs to an domain and will know it is actualy https://somedomain.de/somedir/someimage.jpg.

SO if everybody is following coding standards everything would be fine.

Tom,

Just to inform you. I will look at this issue anyway, but it could take some time before I can look into it. When I can solve it you’ll get a patch for it.

Best regards,
Michel

Tom, could you confirm you’re using the free or premium version of our plugin? I might have a solution you want to try out, but before I can give you an update I need to know what version you have.

Hi Michel,

I’m using the premium “ecommerce” version 1.6.5!

Tom,

Please download the following file:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3129817/class-feed-master-mmt.zip

And then unpack the file in it to your ‘wp-content/plugins/wp-product-feed-manager/includes/application” folder.

Then try again and report back if it helped.

Hi Michel,

I did upload it, but now the license manager does not activate the plugin anymore.
Auke initially added two domains to my license one for my test environment t1.*******off.com and one for production *******off.com

Tom, I see your license has expired. We will look into it.

Tom, I reactivated your license so you should be able to login again.

Hi Michel,

this is working now!
Great

So if I could prefix it now with my domain you’ll be added to my Superheros-List ??
cause the output is:

<g:additional_image_link>
/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image.jpg
</g:additional_image_link>

but shoud become:

<g:additional_image_link>
https://myDomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image.jpg
</g:additional_image_link>

Using combined fields like I do for featured images does not work in this case cause it outputs only this:

<g:additional_image_link>
https://myDomain.comArray
</g:additional_image_link>

As an alternative I tried to repair it in google merchant center with feed rules to prefix it with my domain there but they have an bug so it does not work.

Anyway
Thanks a lot for the solution with the wrong images
Tom

Strange, at my test site it always outputs url’s including the domain.

Could you check one thing for me? In your media library, if you open an image that has such an incomplete url, is the URL setting for that image complete or is it also missing the domain?

As for the combined fields output. That is wrong anyway, so I will have to fix that.

Michel

Sorry Michel, I did not explained that thoroughly: all of my media files does not contain the domain by intention. They are all saved with relative url’s only, beginning with /wp-content/…

Best regards
Tom

Ok thanks.

I know that some users use different domains, so I don’t think its a good idea to automatically add the standard domain name as a prefix. So the best solution is that I fix the combined fields output so you can add the correct domain with the help that option.

I’ll be back!

Hi Tom,

Could you please try out the following patch?

1. Download this file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3129817/class-feed-processor-mmt.zip
2. Backup the file class-feed-processor.php in your ‘wp-content/plugins/wp-product-feed-manager/includes/application’ folder
3. Copy the content of the downloaded file in that same folder
4. Try to make a test feed to check if the combination of featured images and a static field now works correctly

Please let me know the results!

Best regards,
Michel
