Delete products based on a CSV file

[lat9]

Actually, the Database I/O Manager (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2091) enables you to first export your products to a CSV and then selectively delete them.

So does EZ Populate, but I can never find the link to its current download. Perhaps @mc12345678 can step in?

Although the "recent" plugin's name has been Easypopulate V4, it is locatable by searching the plugins by any of many names: EZ Populate, Easy Populate, Easypopulate, or even just Populate.

The location from which to download, access GitHub, and read the Forum thread is found at: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2069

Also can export a CSV file via export and update data via upload followed by import.

Product deletion is through setting the v_status field to 9 for the product to delete. The product is identified through use of a primary key. By default the primary key is the product's model (v_products_model field). Changing a configuration setting offers the use of the product's id (v_products_id field), and through an observer another primary key could be set/created.

The import file to do deletions should be as simple as having the primary key field and the v_status field for the product to be delete with the v_status field set to 9.
