Was this information Helpful?

Hello,

I have figured out how to upload my products into Drupal from a simple .csv file (see: http://tomandcrystal.com/creating_products_in_ubercart). My next task is to sort these into categories, thanks to this nice Ubercart Documentation: http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/10964/building_product_catalog.

My issues are . . .

1. In steps # 5 and # 6 of this Ubercart Documentation, this shows how to add catalog taxonomy terms to product nodes one-by-one.

2. I first thought that this could be done simply by creating a "Catalog" column in my .csv file for the taxonomy terms I setup . Unfortunately, the node_import module does not import any of the catalog taxonomy terms. I don't seem to be the only one who has run into this issue (see: http://drupal.org/node/383926), but unfortunately "Robrecht Jacques" posted on April 21, 2009 - 12:49, "There were problems with hierarchical taxonomies. In D5 this was an advanced setting, but in D6 all taxonomies are hierarchically by default, so this means that importing taxonomy terms failed for all vocabularies (except the free-tagging ones). This has now been fixed in CVS. I'll release -rc5 later today." And now, almost nine months later, there is still no such release "-rc5". So I search for another solution.

3. What if you could just create a list of taxonomy terms, but instead of manually adding them one-by-one. You could select 'groups' of nodes, perhaps from the "http://YOURSITE.com/admin/content/node" page? Maybe have something in the "Update Options" menu that would allow Update to Category - "YOUR CATEGORY" ("YOUR CATEGORY" could be a second drop down list of all your created taxonomy categories). The goal would be Adding Catalog Taxonomy Terms to Multiple Product Nodes.

Does such a module exist to reach this goal?

Thank you in advance for anyone who can answer this for me.

~ Tom

Views Bulk Operations

Hi Tom -

Have you tried out the http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations module? It sounds like this will do what you're hoping. I tested on my local development site and was able to filter down to a group of nodes I wanted, check their checkboxes, then apply one or more taxonomy terms to all these nodes simultaneously.
