Thanks chadderuski, I'll get with Bluehost and see if they can change that for me.

Mike, this isn't a Bluehost issue, it's your local router's DNS server IP's. Do you have Comcast? Did you change your name servers at some point in the past? I was using OpenDNS in the past because it was faster than comcast, but switched to google's when OpenDNS started to have serious issues of late.

I'm using Cox. I'll look for another DNS to work from.

Thanks.

Is it possible to have v_products_id included in the export?

Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

It should be possible - see chadderuski's post here:

I've just done this for another field today and it works perfectly.

Hey Joe!

Just keep one thing in mind... while you can do this for exporting the products, there is no logic on the import side for dealing with v_products_id.

Hi Woody,
Did you use OpenOffice to export your CSV file? Excel does not work well for export CSV files, and they don't import correctly with EP4 - something I'll try to address in the future.
Did you do a Full import, and if so, what were the ouput stats at the bottom?

Hi, I just use Microsoft excel and save as csv file as the old EP. I clicked on "Choose file (under Upload EP file)" then chose relevant csv file then clicked upload. I got the counter showing uploading ...% up to 100% at the very bottom of the screen then at the top left the green bar showing "File Uploaded successfully" with the name of the csv file. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Ive got a huge product list needs uploading, bit like a sitting duck at the mo, dont fancy spending 25 years putting them on 1 by 1 :)

I think I may have found the problem, I have downloaded from the site and the layout differs on the EP4 csv than my old EP csv file. There is no option for category_1, category_2, category_3 and so on, on the new one where I need this for my listings. For example, I sell inks so it would be Category_1 = Ink Cartridge, Category_2 = Epson Ink, Category_3 = Epson R285 ink and then on to the product.

New EP4 layout as below:

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_product_is_call
v_products_sort_order
v_products_quantity_order_min
v_products_quantity_order_units
v_date_avail
v_date_added
v_products_quantity
v_manufacturers_name
v_categories_name_1
v_tax_class_title v_status
v_metatags_products_name_status
v_metatags_title_status
v_metatags_model_status
v_metatags_price_status
v_metatags_title_tagline_status
v_metatags_title_1
v_metatags_keywords_1
v_metatags_description_1

Old EP layout on next page!
