Import images base on URL

[clevercode]

Hello,

It will be nice having this feature in core application. I have made this approach for anyone who wants to import images (tested for version 4.7.1):
Modifications in : /application/Espo/Services/Import.php
Added the following function:

public function parseImageUrl( $url ) {
        $contents = '';

        $curl = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
        $ret_val = curl_exec($curl);
        $contents =  chunk_split(base64_encode($ret_val));
        curl_close($curl);

        $exif = exif_read_data($url, 0, true);

        $contents = base64_decode($contents);

        $attachment = $this->getEntityManager()->getEntity('Attachment');
        $attachment->set("name", $exif["FILE"]["FileName"]);
        $attachment->set("type", $exif["FILE"]["MimeType"]);
        $attachment->set("size", $exif["FILE"]["FileSize"]);
        $attachment->set("role", "Attachment");
        $attachment->set("related_type", "Product");
        $this->getEntityManager()->saveEntity($attachment);
        $this->getFileStorageManager()->putContents($attachment, $contents);

        return $attachment->id;
    } 

and modification in parseValue() function. I have added the following code:

if ($field == 'imageId') {
        $value = $this->parseImageUrl($value);
} 

Note that is working for fieldname "image" and for Jpeg files only. Waiting for better solutions if you have. Thank you.

any reason why you encode $content ,and then decode it again?

I tried not to encode/decode, it doesn't work.

I tried to save $ret_val and $contents to file, it showed no difference... in diff

It's really interesting. can somebody explain why?

Hi, does this add the image to the product module? If so, did you create a new entity field for it or use one of the exiting ones eg url - with a link to the image?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone,

Any new / updated solution for this?

Is the above code still working on version 8.1+ ?

Thanks,
