csv import #3

Closed akafester closed 9 years ago

akafester commented 9 years ago

I have installed this excellent module to solve a problem that shouldn't exist. So for that, thanks for the great work. I'm seeking the separator to use in the cvs importer. I have tried with the pipes but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to do a multiple feature value import via the cvs importer? I'm using the latest 1.6 version.

CVS import is not supported yet. In my todo list...

I've never tested the import, but I've just had a quick look at the current code and I can see that features need to be formatted this way …;Name:Value:Position;… Have you tried …;Name:Value1:Position,Name:Value2:Position,Name:Value3:Position;… ?

I have tried that way, but the problem is that i want it to be: ;Feature:Value1|Value2|Value3:Position,Feature:Value.......... then your module take over to make sure prestashop doesn't throw away the data.

I can see, on the same thread that i found your module, that someone posted a way to make the above work: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/176242-modification-select-multiple-values-for-one-feature/page-10#entry1914984 Can this be incorporated to your module?

So, do you mean that the way I suggested doesn't work, or that it doesn't suit your workflow?

akafester commented 9 years ago

I'm sorry, but i think i might misunderstood what you meant. The way prestashop wants input is: "feature:value:position:customize". This isn't really usable if I want to import af feature with multiple values, and then use the layered navigation to filter. So if I, for example, had a shirt in my shop with two compositions of fabric then i could write it like so: "Fabric:cotton / silk:0:0". In this way i can't make filter the fabric by silk alone because prestashop saves it as "cotton / silk", witch makes it impossible to search for silk alone. You then recommended that I used "feature:value1:position:customize;feature:value2:position:customize" Witch then would be: "Fabric:cotton:1:0;Fabric:Silk:2:0". Is this correctly understood? Will try it tomorrow regardless but just to make sure :).

Yes, "Fabric:cotton:1:0;Fabric:Silk:2:0" seems what Prestashop expect… But try and tell me, I've never used import.

It works flawlessly. I tried with a couple of test produkts and it seems that prestashop doesn't care about the position value. For example: Something:Yes:0;Fabric:Cotton:1;Fabric:Silk:2;Something:No:3 And Something:Yes:0;Fabric:Cotton:1;Fabric:Silk:1;Something:No:2 have the exact same result. No errors and both products have the correct input selected. Thank you very much for your help :).
