Content Manager - Connecting Images

Hello!

I’m looking for a way to batch-connect 3000 images to my Content Manager.

In my Content Manager, I have a ‘Master Portfolio’ of 3000 images. I’ve gone through and added the keywords, tags, descriptions, titles, etc. that I need.

All the text is there, I now just need to connect/link the correct images to the correct rows of the CSV.

All of the images are uploaded to my site already. But are not connected to my Content Manager Master Portfolio.

My current workflow/process is to go row by row, line by line, in the Content Manager, and click the empty image in the “Image” Column of my Content Manager, search for my file, and double click to connect it.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

This process will take me days.

Is there an alternative way?

All of my file names are sequence-named:

0001_Filename.jpg
0002_Filename.jpg
0003_Filename.jpg

and so forth. The 4 digit code matches up with the “Reference #” column on my Content Manager.

Is there a quicker way to link these images? I got 500 done today, and have 2500 left to go.

I have attached 2 images below which show my Content Manager, as well as my .csv

Thanks!

Because that content is dependent on the randomly assigned URL given to media files by the system. I haven’t discovered a way to bypass that with Wix.

Have you considered a cloud-base storage system that allows you to more easily create a URL that is more inline with keeping your file name system intact? This would allow you to easily update the spreadsheet export to import, as Excel and Numbers have a sequential drag function to increase the number at the end by a factor of one.

SO helpful. I use Google Drive for much of my file storage, and didn’t realize I could point to those files. Using this plugin , I can easily extract all of the 3000 URLs.

Excellent. Let me know how that works for you.
