Apsona ShopAdmin - a free tool for import/mass update/reporting

[joegalui]

When I start Apsona ShopAddmin from the tools menu it presents the login box for my admin id in a new window.When I login it goes back to my admin page and I try it again but it keeps going to the login. Help

i really like the mod it looks great the support sounds amazing but what apsona getting out of all this ? no one would design and support such a thing at such a high level for free, please inlight...... it all looks to good to be true

These are exactly my thoughts. There's clearly a lot of work put into it. I can't find anything objectionable in the T&C, I can see a lot of happy users, and I can't find anyone anywhere suggesting there's anything scammy or dodgy about it.

So I'm just left wondering what's in it for Apsona? I'd just like to know that before I go installing code on the server.

Apsona offers other services to generate income. I asked the same question when I started using them over a year ago.....don't question it - just use it - it is a great system! :-)

I agree.. It's like any other contributor of open source solutions.. It's the spirit of open source.. This is just like asking the Zen Cart admins what's in it for them.. (or the Drupal, WordPress or Joomla admins for that matter)

Apsona isn't the only stellar mod with outstanding support here.. We have a LOT of great Zen Cart contributors offering stellar modules and stellar support..

Now that's an understatement! How the hell have I not heard of this before?! It's utterly fantastic!

I've been playing with it on a test store for about an hour now.

All my gripes about mass/batch updating/moving products are gone. My product report woes have vanished. And it's SO FAST!

Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming!

Yes, I did. Haven't resolved the question yet, though. I'll get back to you as soon as I can about it.

Thanks.

Hi Apsona,

Just a quick update to let you know that another user has reported the same problem over in the Admin Profiles thread.

Regards,

Brent

Edit: Scrap that (below). I'd forgotten to put the category: subcategory format when importing.
I just assumed it did that when exporting. So there's an export niggle, not an import bug!

Just found a bug - when you mass import items where it needs to create a top level category AND a subcategory with products in, it creates both categories at the top level, putting the products in the correct category.

Not a major problem when there's a couple of categories as you can easily move whole categories in Apsona, but could be a problem when importing lots of cats. I'll report a bug to Apsona.

Please delete this and previous post. I was looking at the wrong excel window. Whoops!

Never let it be said that I don't give a little back on occassion!

The "official" Apsona vid is a little complicated for simple export, and I needed to show someone how to do a simple export template > edit and add > import.

It's 3 and a half minutes long, and of course, you need to apply it to your own products, but this is really a quick "basics" guide for when you need a template to work from. Any use to anyone?
