wrong variant import from CSV

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.8
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.14

Hi,
I have a problem since I have upgrated from Hikashop Starter 2.1.2 to Hikashop Business 2.2.0.
Before upgrade I was able to successfully import products and variants.
After upgrade, only main products are imported. Variants seem to be ignored.

I made some debug and i noticed that variants are loaded into database but product_parent_id were lose during import.
This behavior occurs even when i import a previously exported csv without modifications.
I also tried in a new installation with products and variants created from user interface but the problem still persist.

I also get load of errors saying The column "X" is twice in your CSV. Only the second column data will be taken into account.
In many posts i have read to ignore there errors.

Hi, thanks to reply.
Variants are added in the database but not to the product. From backend, in products list page (index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product) I can see only main products, not variants (of course I set filters to "all").
From database I saw that variants are linked to characteristics but not to their product. In hikashop_product column product_parent_id is equal to zero.

Today I made a new environment from scratch, and If I load a full csv (with products and variants) then all works fine.
Actually, problem arise when I try to import only variants.

Weird... I only have one CSV file to import.

My file worked before update to 2.2.

Import seems ok but I really have error messages like you said.

I will do other tests later.

1) In many case the "information" is in the documentation and answer need only a link to the documentation .
if there is no "404 error " message ! ......( !important )
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...hikashop-import.html

2) But what about Troubleshooting page documentation about import export ?
there ll be less post and more time to enhance HKS core functionnalities !!!


3) The chapters of the whole forum follow the workflow process of ecommerce for BackEnd and FrontEnd .
Why not a sticky post with a link for each sub forum ?

for example
for "Import & export ( CSV XLS) " a sticky post could contain many link to the documentation relative to import export ?

Regards

It is awesome how HKS team is responsive ( ) in this forum ( never see that )

all is relative to css Layout selector

Still et again this error....

Do you want to have the error too? Try to import this in a textfield :

product_id;product_code;product_name;product_description;images;product_published;categories;parent_category;categories_image;product_manufacturer_id;product_layout;price_min_quantity;price_value;files
