Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The first site using the CSV import went live last night. I'm going to be working on some more testing with markscarts. Once we're sure I've covered all the bases, it'll be released for sale on my site. Thanks for your patience everybody. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sgleaton Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 email me at [email protected] I have a macro that you can use to export to a comma or semicolon delimited text file that you can import using phpMyAdmin I added my products this way. Be sure to put Excel Export to MySQL in the header please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scovic Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hi, Sir William, how are you getting on with the data import mod? I have just found CC and think its superb, apart from the lack of product bulk import function, if you have a mod available I will defintely be changing to CC for online stores. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Well, I've started to send it out for testing 4 times now and keep thinking of more things to add. So VERY soon, I'll just say enough is enough and get it out there. Sit tight. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pitstop Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 OK, I posted yesterday asking about how I could add 20,000 products quickly, then I found this thread. Obviously no one can do this, however, it took me 30 minutes to work out how to do this reasonably quickly and free and it works quite nicely. If you;re fed up with waiting then its worth doing. There are 2 areas, not 3 as someone stated earlier in this thread where the data must be added to the database for each product, these are: CubeCart_cats_idx and CubeCart_inventory I used excel to create my spreadsheet and used the CONCATENATE function, basicaly I split the following up within excel, this is one product taken from CubeCart_inventory: INSERT INTO `CubeCart_inventory` VALUES (115, 'Test product', 1, 'This is where your description goes', 'test_product.jpg', 0, 2.00, 'Test product', 15, 0, 0.00, 0, 0, 0, '', 0.000, 2, 1); So the data that changes in my instance are Test product, the description part, the image, the price, the item number and the category. I don;t want to waffle on in case no one is interested but it works for me and I can help if you're fed up waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to switch to CubeCart - but its my understanding your script doesn't play too well with CC3? Also, what is the status of the SirWilliam's script? I didn't see it on his site. I will be writing my own cart at some point on Rails, but after four months of fighting with OSCommerce and never going live, I just want a solution now.

Guest Paracelsus Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 One more note to the people developing these scripts: OSCommerce Easy Populate has a Froogle output - text files for froogle listings that match up to the inventory on your site. You might consider this to be a competitive feature to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might consider this to be a competitive feature to add. CC already does Froogle output. In Admin go to View Products and click on the Froogle logo.

Guest Nanz Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sir William, any progress on the csv updater, im just about to create my new store and have a heap of products to upload. Anything to make this process faster and easier would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest megavox Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm really interested in that csv uploader for CC. I'm also willing to pay for it. What going on? Any news? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 The script is about to head to beta testers now with a full release hopefully this weekend or the first part of next week. I still have a couple things to tweak, but nothing major. Hopefully I can get some help with documentation from my testers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markscarts Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'll try to help, Bill, you want a .txt file with my notes or a Word doc? I'll throw some notes together while testing and you can use 'em or toss 'em as needed :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blairnichols Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah - same goes. If you want a hand with the documentation, as I said before I am only too happy to help. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest degsey69 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Sir Williams mod was released yesterday and is available from his site. :innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beachbum Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 where can this be obtained and how much does it cost? I need help loading about 1500 products and keeping them updated I recieve excel inventory sheet from supplier daily. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest degsey69 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Finaly got the mod yesterday and it certainly takes the pain out of uploading the csv file. He is going to put two of his mods together and allow you to download thecsv file and upload all in the same mod. So Sir William I am waiting for the next version with this capabilty. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 degsey69, what you're talking about is not going to be an updated version, but a separate, standalone script. It will not allow the same CSV import that the import mod allows. It will create a file from your existing products only then update those products after you tweak values in the file. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beachbum Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If different modules which one should I use? I’m new here and I working to get a site up in cubecart 3.09; I’m currently using Zen_Cart and EP to mass populate the site it seems to work to get product on the site put to update inventory from my supplier seems to be a headache. “Trying to merge the inventory and newly added products.†I’m not sure if cubecart is right for me and do not wish to sink a lot of money into it if I do not stay with it. I’m working through the “kinks†of layout and payment gateways Could I send my files I get from my supplier and see which module would work – I do not mind to pay for something if its going to work for me.

Guest degsey69 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The csv import mod is good for suppliers csv files to be uploaded after they are ammended to fit the format of the data base. Now I might be wrong here and Sir William I hope that you will correct me as always, but until the next mod is produced, you can use this mod after you trancate the tables in mysql manualy to do updates. In effect taking out everything and reapplying again from a modified updated master csv file. The only problem with this is that there is no backup security as afforded by the mod as you will have deleted the content of the tables before applying the new file. Sir Williams csv mod backs up the old database and if there is a problem applying the new one then it can restore the old one back. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
