TSV File Not Using/Generating 'Gender' Attribute #8

Closed bedroomathletics closed 6 years ago

bedroomathletics commented 7 years ago

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a product set in my Facebook product catalogue. The problem is, the .tsv file generated by the extension does not use the 'gender' attribute.

Therefore, we are unable to split our catalogue into 'mens' and 'womens'.

I have already created rules to suit our Magento store such as this;

COLUMN | RULE gender | Replace regex - 'Men' - 'Male'

Any help would be appreciated :+1:

As this has been changed to a feature request, can I confirm this isn't possible as of yet, rather than me making a mistake? :)

dmitridr commented 7 years ago

As far as I can tell it's not possible currently. Though we do export the category names, so If you have separate categories for 'Mens' and 'Womens' assigned to products you should be able to create Mens/Womens product sets based on the category.

Thanks for the reply!

Category names in 'product_type' column? Unfortunately it grabs the categories in a nested way.

E.g.

Collection | Collection > Womens > Womens Slippers > Slipper Boots | Collection > Sale | Collection > Sale > Womens Sale | Collection > Sale > Womens Sale > Slippers Sale

Would be helpful is we could assign which of our Magento attributes we can export for the feed. So i could choose our 'gender' attribute and then map that to the facebook gender field :+1:

That's a good suggestion, we'll think about maybe a settings page where users can do that mapping.

In terms of the category names, I think you might be able to build a product set rule using the contains 'Womens' or contains 'Mens'.

But in any case, we should have an update to explicitly export the gender soon. @tahoff is working on supporting the gender attribute, we should have it by the next release.
