Image Synchronization

Why does Image synchronization not work

tl;dr; because it is not implemented

Why not ?

When we built the new version of the connector we had learnt from years of our mistakes and one of the first design objectives was not to try to be your magento admin.

So what ?

Magento admin panel is perhaps one of the best catalog management systems. If you chose magento to build your eCommerce store you probably know that already. So, you should use what each system is good for.

• Use Magento to manage your catalog
• Use OpenERP to fulfil orders

But you already import production information

Yes, we import the bare minimum required for your to fulfil the orders imported from magento correctly. Both systems need to be aware about what is being sold and fulfilled - and that is the reason we have a product import/export mechanism. Had there been another reliable way - we would not have implemented product sync.

So what is the best practice ?

• Use Magento to manage your catalog
• Use OpenERP to fulfil orders

Which means, you would manage your images on Magento with all the beautiful thumbnails etc and multiple image sets while we leave OpenERP alone with just the information you need.
