Broken variable product images

Hi,

Please find at private content your requested information. I also sent you a sample of my current CSV file. I personally use https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/ for my WooCommerce CSVs editing. You can also have a look at plugin’s documentation here:

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-additional-variation-images/

On Third-Party Theme Support section, the below is mentioned:

“Themes that follow the default WooCommerce lightbox implementation will usually work with this plugin.However, some themes use an unorthodox method to add their own lightbox/slider, which breaks the hooks this plugin needs. Third-party theme authors can make this plugin work together by using the hooks and triggers available within the plugin. In addition, this plugin has incorporated its own lightbox so you can always choose to use it and turn off any lightbox options that are coming from your theme. Please consult with your theme author on how to disable the lightbox.”

They have also a list of hooks and a short description of what they do as well as Javascript Triggers.

I really hope to find a solution from your side for this incompatibility.

Thank you in advance.

I replaced at my CSV file the Meta: _wc_additional_variation_images with your Meta: woodmart_variation_gallery_data but after uploading it didn’t take the Variation Image Galleries.
How can I change my CSV in order to recognize the meta value for your variations images?

I am a little confused, how can I set variation ID on my CSV? Could you be a little more specific?

I just made the following test:

I deactivated https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-additional-variation-images/ plugin and enabled again your additional variations feature. So I tried to create the below variable product on site:

https://www.giftsontop.gr/product/metavlito-proion-test/

As expected, variation image galleries work as desired on my front-end. After that, I exported all products to better understand how their column names are set on CSV. The strange thing is that I don’t see anywhere the column “Meta: _woodmart_variation_gallery_data” on export CSV. On the column “Images” I see the multiple images on variable product and only the first image of each variation ID.

Please check my attached export CSV.

The Meta columns that I get on CSV export are the following:

1. Meta: woodmart_sguide_select
2. Meta: woodmart_total_stock_quantity
3. Meta: _product_360_image_gallery
4. Meta: _woodmart_main_layout
5. Meta: _woodmart_sidebar_width
6. Meta: _woodmart_custom_sidebar
7. Meta: _woodmart_product_design
8. Meta: _woodmart_single_product_style
9. Meta: _woodmart_thums_position
10. Meta: _woodmart_product-background
11. Meta: _woodmart_extra_content
12. Meta: _woodmart_extra_position
13. Meta: _woodmart_product_custom_tab_title
14. Meta: _woodmart_product_custom_tab_content
15. Meta: _woodmart_swatches_attribute
16. Meta: _woodmart_product_video
17. Meta: _woodmart_product_hashtag
18. Meta: _woodmart_new_label

Shouldn’t I get the Meta: _woodmart_variation_gallery_data too?

I think you didn’t understand my last question. I told you that I de-activated the plugin and currently I use your additional variations feature. As you will see, the export CSV contains all Meta columns of woodmart except Meta: _woodmart_variation_gallery_data that you mentioned to me above. Why does this happen?

Ok I understand now.

Where shall I search exactly on my DB for your record “Meta: _woodmart_variation_gallery_data”?

I attach you a screenshot of my DB.

Can you be more specific of where exactly is your “Meta: _woodmart_variation_gallery_data” stored in the postmeta table? I can’t find it easily. Please check what I get on my end.
