Hello to the reader(s),

Looked at the forum and the FAQ and the specifications of the different Hikashop versions but I can't find an answer to my question.
I have used virtuemart before and want tot try hikashop.
So I installed the starter version and created and filled the webshop.
Now I used the export function to create a csv file.
But there are only a very few article fields which I can export to a csv file.
Is this correct for the starter version? Or am I doing something wrong?

So if this is correct what are the possibilities for the paid versions?
I can't find the optons mentioned under compare versions.

Kind regards
Margareth

Hi Nicolas,

I'm sorry. I didn't look at the right place.
You are right in the csv I have all the fields of a product.
Can I put another question?
Is it posibble to choose which fields I want in the export when I use the starter edition?

Kind regards
Margareth

Hi Jerome,

Hello,

Is it possible to put another question about the export of products?

If I use the Export button for the products I get a csv file and when I open it I can't see a relation between the parent category and the subcategory.
I have created two parent categories 1. Games nieuw en 2. Games gebruikt. In each parent category I have created subcategories as you can see (PS3games and Wii games). But after the export I can't see any relation anymore.
How is this possible.
Am I doing something wrong?
See below the image.

Hello
I can not add a column with pictures in the export file when the mass action.
Export file in this category is limited to the number of rows - 500.
Help Board.
Thank you.

Hello Sebur,

Interesting question.
I don't know if it is possible to choose which colums you want to use in the mass action.
The answer to this question can be told by Jerome or Nichloas I think.
I am curious what the answer will be.

Kind regards
Margareth

Hi,

Indeed the images are not managed in the mass actions at this time, I add it in the TODO list.

Hi, I created an override (as suggested above) for the export as I also want to remove fields that I am not using.

on the export.php I am checking if if the column

if(!empty($product->$column) && is_array($product->$column))
$product->$column = implode($separator,$product->$column);
if( $column != 'product_last_seen_date'){
$data[] = @$product->$column;
}
}


This works to some degree, the values were removed but the column heading still there.

How could I remove a column from the export?

Thanks.

Hi,

To remove a column from the export, you have to edit the content of the $columns PHP array.
stackoverflow.com/questions/2448964/php-...lement-from-an-array

Perfect, it removes the column title and in combination with what I previously did (which removes the column data) work like a charm.
Ps.: thanks a lot for the link.

Actually I found a better and easier way to do that, it may help someone else

Add this to line 52
// Create an Array of columns to be removed
$dontExport = array(
'product_tax_id',
'product_last_seen_date',
'product_waitlist',
'product_sales',
'product_total_vote',
'product_average_score',
'product_created'
);

//Return $columns that don't exist on the 'Dont Export' array
$columns = array_diff($columns, $dontExport);

This will remove the columns header then in line 95 add the following

$products_columns = array_diff($products_columns, $dontExport);

If anyone have a better way, please share.

Cheers
