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

jill8026:

I am guessing then that the above means there is no way to update inventory for the stock by attribute module via Apsona?

This would be a dream come true if there was a way to make this happen....

On the flip side...the client would love to be able to pull a report by manufacturer of each product and its options quantities...so I guess that is out of the question too?

Thanks for such an awesome product!!!!!! I have used your program on several sites and the clients LOVE it!

Hi Jill,

The problem with supporting stock-by-attributes is the way it stores comma-separated ID values in a database field. It's a rather non-standard way to do it, and it would take quite a bit of effort to support it within ShopAdmin. That's why we haven't pursued it.

As for your question about the report: Can you not create an ordered-product report that contains the fields you need? If the fields you need are not among those of ordered-product, ordered-product-attribute and manufacturer, then what you're saying is true, you can't create such a report from within ShopAdmin.

Glad you like Apsona ShopAdmin so much! :smile:

Regards.

Thanks - that is what I thought! But since you guys seem to work magic I figured I would give it a shot! This client has very specific needs which I am now finding Zencart cannot handle.....I hope you guys look into adding some type of stock inventory for options feature....there is just nothing out there and I am sure people would PAY for that!!!! I know I would!!!! :-)

RE categories & Sub-categories:
when I download a product via Apsona, when I have categories and 2 sub-categories, Apsona shows the product in both category and master category fields as:
Baby: Baby Invitations: Boy Baby
any way of having these as separate fields/columns in the Apsona export excel file?
Thanx in advance

rufusclc - At the moment, there is no way to separate the categories and subcategories into individual columns on export.

Regards.

A quick question.
After installing Apsona, when I go into admin and click on Apsona link under the Tools menu, a new blank white window opens up (no error messages) and I get redirected to admin login page. This happen all the time, its a constant loop.

How can I resolve this issue?

One possibility is that you have slashes after your site name. Open up the file includes/configure.php in your admin folder and look for the lines that looks like

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://my-website.com/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://my-website.com/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://my-website.com/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://my-website.com/');

Replace them with

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://my-website.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://my-website.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://my-website.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://my-website.com');

Hope this helps.

I fail to filter any category lately.
I use version v1.07.1-b1103152126

Without this Apsona I'm dead - Please help

:frusty:

bless you !

I need to download a filtered category.

I'm using version 1.07.1 Apsona

Products --> Tabular view --> if it ever finishes "Loading", it just won't filter anything

Any suggestions?

Thank you

It's very unlikely to be an Apsona issue, because we haven't made any changes recently. Is there any change on your hosting side? Have they reduced the memory you have available on your host, perhaps? How many products to you have in your database?

Shouldn't be any changes in hosting.

I have about 1,800 products in DB

During the Last week I fought Apsona in order to filter categories of my site with no success
Thee Zen's Apsona doesn't show any results when I try to filter categories--> search
BUT
I tried to Export anyways (out of helplessness..) --> IT EXPORTED THE RIGHT RESULTS!!!!!! HURREY!!!!!!!

So if one of you Apsona users is stuck like - Try to export anyways...it might just work

:clap:

I installed ShopAdmin yesterday, it was fast, and it immediately showed results, however today while I was doing a simple search, for a product name, my account got suspended, due to this simple search!

I sent a support ticket to your support department, and I am waiting for an answer.

It's critical for me to know if I can work with simple searches without overloading the shared host account I have.

These days we are getting little or no conversions, therefore we can't afford a dedicated server due to the fixed costs.

Does it work fine in a shared environment? I have over 23,000 products would that be the cause?

If this has already been addressed here, could someone please send me the link to the post, I haven't been able to locate it.

I've installed Apsona before several times and it's great, I am currently trying to help with another site that is having a problem with the install. This version of ZenCart uses the /manage folder to start the admin site instead of the standard /admin following the URL. I've tried installing Apsona into both folders one at a time but neither one will show the apsona shopadmin link under the 'Tools' menu.

The Zencart version is 1.3.9h and the site is hosted on Hostgator which I've used many times with Apsona so I'm not sure what the problem might be so any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Throwdown - Yes, all of these fields are supported within ShopAdmin. You can even import product records and then update their prices later.

Hi, I am having problems here. I have uploaded lots of products and the special price is not showing up on my site?? I have another site, and I've checked that I have put the figures in the correct column when uploading so I am a bit stuck now as to what it can be?

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, I'm new to this so I'm sorry if this has been asked before

Is there an easy way to upload mass images?

My distributor gave me an excel list with the product description, prices, model, etc but no images. I already uploaded the list with apsona, there's like 4000 products.

That's a lot of products to upload images one by one =/

Thanks in advance.

Category Question:

I am using Apsona and have used it to download a current copy of the websites database to use as a template for adding several hundred new products to the site.

If I enter the new categories:sub-categories in the same format as in the downloaded template (Main:Sub1:Sub2) into the new database file and upload it, will it create the new categories/subs that are needed or do I need to go into ZenCart admin and add the new categories first before I upload the new database?

Thanks

How can i get this i joined and download the link in the email sent and it says there is no archive. Or the zip file is empty.

Thanks lexxie

We tested and it actually created huge amount of identically named categories (of course we had several products in a category with the same name). The categories were also named like "categories: sub-categories" instead of making parent and sub-category.

Also still didn't find out how to update products in several languages and how to make / keep linked products.

Apsona: Are there any plans to incorporate special pricing into Apsona. This feature would be very useful when doing special (end of seasons specials, etc) pricing for hundreds of products.

Hello,

Is the software supported anymore? Signed up but received no email and they seem to be uncontactable.
