Custom Product Field Names.zipYes. I typed information into the "product_information" custom product field from within phpMyAdmin. Then under Product & Pricing Export / Import Options, I chose Complete Products with Metatags to export my products. A look at the exported file revealed that the data that was typed using phpMyadmin was exported.

Interesting indeed, (if I was able to open it). I highly suggest you rename your admin directory right now. It is included in the posted link. :/

Hi MC:

Something you said gave me a tip. I changed the beginning of the name of my csv file from FULL to Full and pre-pended the custom product field names in my csv file I created with "v_", redid the upload and it worked... Thanks

Welcome, though the thanks should go to Chadderuski as it is has been his suggestion to export first to see how things look and respond before trying to upload. Also to back up back up, back up before making changes to the database. :)

Can a product be moved from one category to a newly desired category and subcategory using "FUll-EP_" import?

Example:
Move from: Products^T-Shirts
To: Clearance^T-Shirts

I did this by changing the v_categories_name_1 column from Products^T-Shirts to Clearance^T-Shirts. By doing this it retained the "Product Master Category" and created a linked product.

Furthermore even though it says it has created a linked product, the linked product can NOT be found in the cart. When the product model is searched in the cart, it only shows up in the master category.

The idea was to bulk move products from one category to another!

My thought on this would be to delete the product (status of 9) and then re-upload the product with the desired category. I believe that because assigning the product to more than one category that this creates (or is supposed to create) a linked product and that the statement has been made that EP4 doesn't play well with linked products that the method used will not work.

The problem with what I suggest above is that the existing product(s) will lose their original product I'd and therefore may cause some other issues.

Orriginally I thought that perhaps the category import/export would be the right way to go, but perusing the code I didn't see that it was mandatory or would do anything extra/different. :/

If EP4 can't do this task, then to retain products_id; products have to be moved manually, one by one through Zen Cart's move function.

Thanks for the reply.

For the lack of time to browse 163 pages, I will post my issue:

I am trying to import a list of categories from a CSV file.

I have the following columns:

v_categories_name_1, v_metatags_keywords_1

I tried before with those two and including the v_categories_id column to specify my own category ID but I took it out. Even after taking it out I still got the same errors.

Every time I try to import, I get nothing but 'No model field in record. This line was not imported' errors for every row.

All I want to do is import categories with no products yet.

Can someone help me please? I have opened the CSV file in Notepad and verified it is comma-delimited (no tabs, blank spaces at end, etc).

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply.

It maybe time to incorporate a status marker to perform the same move functionality that is performed in ZC. Ideally chadderruski and I can finish our documentation of the existing program first then conquer other aspects of functionality.

renamed. Thanks for the heads-up
