Hi,

When importing a product, the import works only when my category name is a single word... multiple words do not import properly. I have all my categories set up already in HikaShop, and I do need to preserve the names (keep the imbedded blank between the words of the category name).

Is there a way to keep imbedded blanks in category names during an import of products?

This DOES NOT work:
product_code,parent_category,categories
,myCompany,Gloves
,Gloves,Stick Welding
02122,Stick Welding,Super Premium

This is OK
product_code,parent_category,categories
,myCompany,Gloves
,Gloves,StickWelding
02122,StickWelding,SuperPremium


Thanks,

Dennis

Hi Xavier,

After a lot of experimenting, I tried a single left quote (no right quote) and turned auto creation of categories ON. This worked, and seems to continue to work for multi-word categories without any quotes at all. Note that no new categories were actually created during this process.

Thanks,

Dennis
