Hi,

Problem 1.

The system is not letting me upload products if they have the same name. Any way to get around this easily?

This is a sample of the file that I'm using for testing. Tab delimited. I'm cutting and pasting from excel.
images	product_manufacturer_id	product_name	product_description	categories
thumb_DietCoke12_1liter.jpg	60	Diet Coke	(12/1 Liter Bottles)	product category;Soft Drinks
thumb_del_4a3d17f9b99e2.jpg	60	Diet Coke	(32/12 oz Cans)	product category;Soft Drinks
thumb_DietCoke8_2Liters.jpg	60	Diet Coke	(4/2 Liter Bottles)	product category;Soft Drinks
thumb_DietCokeCaffeineFree24_20oz.jpg	60	Diet Coke Caffeine Free	(24/20 oz Bottles)	product category;Soft Drinks
thumb_DietCokeBottles.jpg	60	Diet Coke	(24/20oz Bottles)	product category;Soft Drinks
thumb_DietCokeLime24_20.jpg	60	Diet Coke Lime	(24/20 oz Bottles)	product category;Soft Drinks

6 products uploaded but only 3 listed. 3 of the diet coke products are not listed AND it assigns all the images to the one diet coke.

I need all as separate products. I tried assigning a unique product id to each but they were all rejected.

Problem 2.
In the back end when I try to browse the brands, none of the products are displayed. For example if I look at Tropicana, I don't see any products.

Which field missing from my data?


thanks for helping!

Hi,

1. You have to specify a product code, and have a different product code for each products.

2. It's not working exactly as the categories, currently it don't display the products under the brands. I add it on our TODO list.
