PRESTANEO by Synolia

Prestaneo is a Prestashop addon allowing to import catalogs and product data, from the Akeneo standard CSV files.

How it works

Prestaneo reads standard CSV files from the Akeneo exports in order to import data into your PrestaShop database. These data exchanges allow to import:

• Categories
• Products
• Media (Images, PDF files...)
• Attributes, characteristics & declinations

Features

• Plug and Play: We payed particular attention to make the code as “transparent” as possible. It was thought as a real new application, so it can’t interfere with the native code of Prestashop.
• Totally flexible: We added plenty of configurations. We didn't write any specific value in our code: no hard coding.
• Manual or automatic: You can either upload and import your CSV files from the Prestashop back-office or simply let the automatic cron tasks run different import with CSV files located in a directory of your server.
• Fast import: Prestaneo uses CSV files and optimized SQL requests to be even more efficient.
• Multi-site: Prestaneo is natively compatible with the “multi-store” and the “multi-language” features of Prestashop.

Requirements

Prestaneo is designed to work on Prestashop 1.5 & Prestashop 1.6 based on generated CSV files from Akeneo 1.3+

PHP : PHP 5.3+

Synolia recommends to work with the [Akeneo Enhanced Connector Bundle] (https://github.com/akeneo-labs/EnhancedConnectorBundle) in order to be more efficient in your interfaces. This bundle allows you to go further to select the right data to export.

How to install

Manually

Prestaneo's installation is rather simple ! You only need to follow theses few steps:

• Copy the module’s files in the “modules” folder of Prestashop
• Launch the install process from your Prestashop Back-office
• Enjoy your fully parameterized Prestaneo instance !

Configuration and usage

Multiple configurations are available in the addon graphic interface:

• General configurations. Here you can:
  • Manage the IP of entities that can call the automatic tasks URLs.
  • Define the ftp or sftp connection information.
  • Define the distant server path for each of CSV files.
• Settings: you can choose which of the status you want to show on the dashboard.
• CSV settings: choose enclosure and delimiter of your CSV files.
• Import settings:
  • Set a default value of stock for your products
  • Reset combinations before import them
  • Reset images before import them
  • Reset features before import them
• Other settings are mappings between CSV columns and Prestashop attributes.
