data manager

[andyuk]

Does anyone know where i can get data manager from as easy populate does not seem to like importing all 11000 products and only imports the first one. I have searched for ages and cannot find where to get it from.

Hi there, I'm the one who writes Data Manager, and it's currently (2006.12.19) not available for download, and won't be until the first -final- version is done. Development was halted for a looong time, but I returned to it a while ago, so it's not abandoned. :-) The work is currently focused on making it as stable and fool-proof as possible, in addition to a re-write of the import procedure which should make it a lot faster than before (and it was really fast to begin with.. :-)). There's no release plan yet, and I have given up on estimating when it'll be done so don't hold your breath. ;-)

So I guess you'll have to try to make EP work for you for now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem i figured out why ep wasn't doing what i wanted it to do it appears i have to put this row


v_products_model v_products_image v_products_name_1 v_products_description_1 v_products_url_1 v_specials_price v_specials_date_avail v_specials_expires_date v_products_price v_products_weight v_date_avail v_date_added v_products_quantity v_manufacturers_name v_categories_name_1 v_categories_name_2 v_categories_name_3 v_categories_name_4 v_categories_name_5 v_categories_name_6 v_categories_name_7 v_tax_class_title v_status EOREOR

before every product and across 11000 products omg it's a lot of copy/paste and it gets updated 4 times a day so i have to do it a lot is there no way of automating doing that?

You only need the headings in the first row.

I tried it with the header only in the first row but then it only adds the first product and no others
