Import price_access to reflect actual User Group

Hello,

This may get the same answer as importing tags, but I don't see a forum query on it so, I thought I would ask just to make sure.

My client is importing a large database of jewelry into the website. She has three prices: Retail, Wholesale, Cost.
Retail would be available to All (Public in Joomla)
Wholesale would be available to the Custom Group "Wholesale" (Registered>Wholesale) - a custom ACL
Cost would be available to the Super User only for reporting purposes

I've tried importing this:
price_value,price_currency_id,price_min_quantity,price_access
3.60|1.80|1.75,USD|USD|USD,0|0|0,all|wholesale|super user

and the result I get is



Is there any way to get it to select the existing ACL group during import? If not, is there a mass action or a way I can do this without having to go into every product and manually update it? There are only three prices for every product, just like the example I gave.

Thanks,

Dawn

Hi,

The access levels of prices can be imported with CSVs, however, you cannot use the user group name, you need to use the user group id (same as what you get when you export the products).
So suppose that the wholesale user group is 6 and that the super user group is 7, you would need to import like this:
price_value,price_currency_id,price_min_quantity,price_access
3.60|1.80|1.75,USD|USD|USD,0|0|0,"all|,6,|,7,"

Note that the user group ids need to be surrounded by commas (it's a trick we use in the database for the efficiency of the MySQL queries).
