We use All Import to update rental listings on our website from an XML file provided by our property management software. It has been working fine for years but now we are having issues with our image urls. The only way I have been able to get it to work now is to delete and re-import all images on each update. Here is an example image URL:
https://rogue.managebuilding.com/Resident/PublicPages/StreamFile.ashx?fileName=eeabfb31ce46424b8c859da801a648a3.jpg
When testing the import settings, I get the following message:
File `https://rogue.managebuilding.com/Resident/PublicPages/StreamFile.ashx?
fileName=eeabfb31ce46424b8c859da801a648a3.jpg` is not a valid image.
When I use the setting “Search through the Media Library for existing images before importing new images” and choose By URL or by filename, it does not work. It thinks the filename is StreamFile.jpg for every image.
Here is a sample from the log using the only setting that I have been able to make work, the problem with this setting it it takes an extremely long time to update because it deletes and re-uploads every image on each import:
