internal image with priority vs external

Hey, @andrearuffini.

It could be a new feature. But first let me understand why do you need that, please.

Hi @marceljm,

well I have bought a service which gives me access to a database of stones pictures. The pictures are accessible only via url. Thanks to you plugin I have simplified the access to the pictures that now are usable as featured images instead of separate pictures.
Now some of the pictures are not so good or so explainatory then the ones I own and I need to overwrite the external ones with the ones I upload. At the same time I need to have the external ones written into the database because I update them with a wp all import procedure and not one to one. There are over 780 items into the database.
Ok, I can do it in my custom template using a custom field with the uploaded image but there are some plugins (as one I use to build collections of stones) that use the featured image and it’s annoying to code over all of them every time there is an update.
I hope there is a way to do this with your plugin.

Thanks,
Andrea

Thanks for the answer, @andrearuffini.

If I add 1 only global toggle on the main settings to define which image (internal or external) has priority, does it solve your issue?

Or you would need to have 1 toggle for each product? In this case it would be on the Product editor.

@marceljm,

the 1 global toggle to change the internal or external priority is exactly what I am searching for to solve my issue.

OK, @andrearuffini.

It should be available in a next release, in one or two weeks.

Thank you @marceljm,

This is a very good news!

Hi @marceljm,
in the new version I can’t find how to prioritize the internal image.
Can you please guide me?

Thank you,
Andrea

Hi, @andrearuffini.

Unfortunately it was not implemented yet. There a lot of requests opened and I have to give priority to the most voted features. And for now there is no many users interested on your suggestion. Premium users have priority on their requests as well but for now none of them asked for this feature.

Sorry for that.

And by the way there is a link for voting on post editor below the FIFU field.

Hi, @andrearuffini.

It’s done. Please install the FIFU 1.8.4

If it solves your issue, please consider to give this plugin a 5-star rating.
