Was this information Helpful?

Ubercart is a great Framework. Love it. Great work esp the integration with Drupal makes it a Killer.

Question:

1. What is the best way to do bulk importing of products and attributes.
2. What is the best way to update the product information of currently existing products in the database.

I appreciate your response. I tried to browse through but could not find any post for Ubercart 2.x.

Thanks

Re: Importing product with attributes in Bulk

Node import is what you need to look into: http://drupal.org/project/node_import

Here are a few threads that should help with updating existing products:
http://drupal.org/node/349408
http://drupal.org/node/422282

I personally downloaded the patch from #83 on http://drupal.org/node/349408 and applied patch from http://drupal.org/node/374346 to fix importing of CCK fields. This allowed for me to upload my products successfully.

In order to create a CSV of existing products you will need to use Views and Views Bonus Pack:
http://drupal.org/project/views
http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus

Be sure to not use this on your live site until you have everything figured out. And, as always, backup your database!

Best of luck.

node export

actually i use node export, which has its own bulk export/import features, but i don't know if it handles attributes, but it handles pictures!

you're right!

It does handle individual products great, and their pictures.... if they are all treated as separate entities / nodes but attributes anyone?
