vidmarc Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Which fields can be imported? Can Category & sub-category IDs be imported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The admin source file products.import.inc.php seems to be able to accommodate these fields: * Manufacturer by name * Image by path/name * Primary category is 'indexed' * Primary image is 'indexed' * SEO_path is used or generated (but has a bug) * Any other field name that has a matching field in the inventory table If there is no established "map", a list of eligible destinations are presented in a drop-down selector for each of the source columns (with a few additional columns, basically, the columns found in the inventory table: status, name, image, product_code, cat_id (primary), description, manufacturer (by name), price, sale_price, cost_price, product_weight, use_stock_level (1/0), stock_level, stock_warning, digital (1/0), digital_path, tax_type (ID), tax_inclusive (1/0), featured (1/0), seo_path, seo_meta_title, seo_meta_keywords, seo_meta_description, condition, upc, ean, jan, isbn, brand, grin (actually, gtin), man (actually, mpn) There is no existing code to process secondary cat_id numbers (that is, categories not the primary).

vidmarc Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 OK, so main category only. That's a pain. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 We can work out how to add the code to deal with secondary categories over at www.cubecartforums.org. Interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidmarc Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Possibly... I'm building a new eCommerce site for a friend's fabric company. I have the old .sql file, but it's an export from a CMS called Tovuti that is no longer supported. I've suggested that it would probably be easier to create a new spread sheet based on all the current fabric in stock and to work with that instead. So that was my reason for asking about sub categories - it would save time in setting the site up. I'm also aware that we'll need a mod for fabric by length, rather than quantity. How easy would this be to do? I asked about this here a while ago. I'll also be adding WP as a front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 "Possibly..." I'll start the conversation of the hack over at cubecartforums. When you are ready, feel free to join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Looks like this thread is now beyond the scope of this forum, so I'm locking it. Good luck on getting this working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
