Hello,

Im new to the software and i have a couple of questions about the importation of products.
I read the documentation and i didn't understand how to import the categories for the products. Do i need to insert them manually?

Another thing is what is the default folder for the images, if i put in the field image "front-black.jpg" where do i need to put that image in the system.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can insert them manually. If you don't have many of them it shouldn't be a problem.
Otherwise, they will be created automatically when the import system import your products and that it doesn't find the referenced categories in the database.

The default images folder is media/com_hikashop/upload

In the list that show me the things i can use it shows me "parent_category | categories_namekey | categories_image | categories_ordering | categories", is there a tutorial of what do they mean, for instance, if i have "electronics" and "computers", "computes" is a sub-category of "electronics"

how do i do that?
is the name the primary key for the category?

Thanks

Hi,

The documentation about imports is here: www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentatio...shop-import.html#csv
To have many categories and sub-categories you need something like:

parent_category, categories
,electronics
electronics, computers
