Ok, So now we know we are getting into the if statement that should remove the images related to the product.

Now do the following:
1. remove any lines that we added for the die() statements. so that it will not die.

2. clear the reports and logs. delete everything in /var/report and var/logs

3. Make sure that logging is enabled. This is in the config settings. Admin -> System -> configuration -> Developer -> Then you should see log setting in one of the field sets. Make sure logging is enabled.

4. Now run the import again. When it is finished see if any logs or reports were created. The logs should tell what/why the code is not working.

Ok, so now remove. Since we know we are getting here now.
print_r($importData['remove_all_images']);die("Remove Images Value");

and change the die two lines below that to
print_r("Now we are here");die();

and run the import again, and see if you get the red box that says "Now we are here"

I import via: import/export – dataflow-profiles – import all products

Here is the code (the one that finally gave me red error)

foreach ($product->getMediaAttributes() as $mediaAttributeCode => $mediaAttribute) { $addedFile = ''; if (isset($importData[$mediaAttributeCode . '_label'])) { $fileLabel = trim($importData[$mediaAttributeCode . '_label']); if (isset($importData[$mediaAttributeCode])) { $keyInAddedFile = array_search($importData[$mediaAttributeCode], $addedFilesCorrespondence['alreadyAddedFiles']); if ($keyInAddedFile !== false) { $addedFile = $addedFilesCorrespondence['alreadyAddedFilesNames'][$keyInAddedFile]; } }


                if (!$addedFile) {

                    $addedFile = $product->getData($mediaAttributeCode);

                }

                if ($fileLabel && $addedFile) {

                    $mediaGalleryBackendModel->updateImage($product, $addedFile, array('label' => $fileLabel));

                }

            }
			//MRD added to remove all images for product before uploading new images

    print_r($importData['remove_all_images']);die("Remove Images Value");

	if(isset($importData['remove_all_images']) && $importData['remove_all_images']=="yes" ){

     die();

	 //check if gallery attribute exists then remove all images if it exists

      //Get products gallery attribute

      $attributes = $product->getTypeInstance()->getSetAttributes();

     	if (isset($attributes['media_gallery'])) {

	$gallery = $attributes['media_gallery'];

	//Get the images

	$galleryData = $product->getMediaGallery();

	foreach($galleryData['images'] as $image){

	//If image exists
		if ($gallery->getBackend()->getImage($product, $image['file'])) {

            $gallery->getBackend()->removeImage($product, $image['file']);

        }

	}

}

$gallery->clearMediaAttribute($product, array('image','small_image','thumbnail'));

     }
     //END Remove Images

        }
        $product->setIsMassupdate(true);

        $product->setExcludeUrlRewrite(true);
        $product->save();
        return true;

}

Seems like the file is not being used.

Just to make sure we are on the same page,
1. please post a few lines of the code you changed just changed, so I can make sure that you changed it in the right spot.

2. IN magento 1.5 there are actually a few spots you can import/export from. Please list exactly where you go to import(in the admin).

Nope, everything went the way it would if everything was fine. No errors. What does it mean?

Add this line


print_r($importData['remove_all_images']);die("Remove Images Value");

just above this line


if(isset($importData['remove_all_images']) && $importData['remove_all_images']=="yes" ){

ANd let me know what it displayes when you run the import. It should be displayed in a red errors box
