Error adding images to categories

[megonzalez]

Hi, I've tried this code to add an image of a category:

    ImageFactory oImageFactory = new ImageFactory(tbUrlBase.Text, tbUser.Text, tbPassword.Text);

    oImageFactory.AddCategoryImage((long)6, @"D:\Temp\Category.jpg");
    //oImageFactory.AddCategoryImage((long)6, File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\Temp\Category.jpg"));

And the following error occurs

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<errors>
<error>
<code><![CDATA[76]]></code>
<message><![CDATA[Image upload error : formato de imagen no reconocida; use los formatos: gif, .jpg, .png]]></message>
</error>
</errors>
</prestashop>

HttpStatusCode: BadRequest

The error occurs in prestashop 1.6.0.6 and 1.5.6.1 with 2 sintaxis:

    public void AddCategoryImage(long? CategoryId, string CategoryImagePath)
    {
        this.AddImage("categories", CategoryId, CategoryImagePath);
    }

    public void AddCategoryImage(long? CategoryId, byte[] CategoryImage)
    {
        this.AddImage("categories", CategoryId, CategoryImage);
    }

Thank you.

Hello @megonzalez I think that the problem is related with your image file. Have you tried with other images? Regards.

Hello EduLeonPavon,

The image used (Category.jpg) is category 6 (Women/Tops) of demo Shop of Prestashop 1.6.0.1 I test other images and always occurs the same error.

Regards.

Hello again, Could you use PrestaShop 1.6.0.6? Best regards.

It could be that the error message from prestashop is wrong and the image cannot be uploaded because it already exists on the server, have you tried out an image not already on the server?

Sorry for the delay, i was out of the office these days.

I testing with Prestashop 1.6.0.6 and 1.5.6.1 and both get the same error. I add the image in backoffice of Prestashop 1.6.0.6 and no error occurs. I delete de image and try add by Prestasharp (05/05/2014) and the error occurs.

There is some prerequisite in the server side ?

I install the latest version of Wamp (x64) in testing PC with W7 (x64) + Prestashop 1.6.0.6.

Regards.

Hello @megonzalez I can´t answer your question. We always use optimised servers for PrestaShop (CentOS+Apache). Sorry.

When developing i also had problems uploading the images, turned out that WAMP was creating problems (e.g. Multithreading-Requests crashed Apache, after updating to a new WAMP-Version picture upload did not work and so on..). Try a virtual machine with a linux distribution and apache/php/mysql.

[megonzalez]

I install Prestashop 1.6.0.6 in external server (dynahost with Lamp) and upload images OK.

The problem is with WAMP.

Thanks EduLeonPavon and citrusO2.
