Product Import
Submitted by mrbnet on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 14:09
I am in the process of changing my site over from oscommerce to ubercart. I am struggling with the import feature and would like to update my products on a daily basis. I convert my feed into a compatible ubercart xml file. It appears to import all the items but it orphans them all. Does anyone have any insight as to automatically creating categories for the products. I am working with about 200 categories and 200,000 products. Thanks,
 Checkout the end of this thread, see if it helps http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/4483/importing_new_list_productspr... Yes, using the drupal node_import module with the ubercart's uc_product.inc works well. see: http://drupal.org/project/node_import uc_product.inc is available somewhere in this forum. The only issue I found with node_import is that I can't import the images. There is a cck images patch to fix this, but I could not get it to work.... See: http://drupal.org/node/143471 Did you try the latest incarnation of that patch? http://drupal.org/node/143471#comment-786257 I'm not entirely sure how to load a patch myself, so I'll play around with it a bit. I got image import to work with an old version (1.2) of node_import and konsumer's original patch. This works wonderfully, except I have never been able to get taxonomy terms created under the catalog term through any import program... good luck Well, I have always got taxonomy to work with node_import 5.x-1.6. The taxonomy term should be a column in the csv file, and I map this to "Taxonomy: Catalog" during the import. Multiple terms can be separated by pipe "|" sign in a csv file, assuming your fields are comma separated e.g. assuming you had products that could be classified as Term1 & Term2, then in the Taxonomy field you should have: .....,"Term1|Term2",...., [see the readme.txt file unde modules/node_import] I am running Taxonomy 5.7. & Taxonomy Menu 5.x-1.03 with drupal 5.7 So the only outstanding things for me are: 2. Speed - see my support request on: By the way, I just tried the image cck patch again on node_import 5.x-1.6 and got it to work! A few comments: - you then need to edit the patched content.inc and make this change after finding line with unset($node->$dummy_name): - images need to be placed in the files directory, under your drupal installation. - in the csv file, put name of image as a separate field e.g. if image is files\image1.gif, then only put image1.gif in field - during import, map the image field to the "Image Fid (field_image_cache)" field. After this it worked for me... I am using ImageField 5.x-2.0-rc8, and all the Image modules 5.x-1.8, ImageCache 5.x-2.0-rc2, cck 5.x-1.5 - you then need to edit the patched content.inc and make this change after finding line with unset($node->$dummy_name): //unset($node->$dummy_name) There are 3 such lines in content.inc! Which one? There is only one instance for me... after applying the patch. Using node_import 1.6 Also, I used this patch: node_import_imagefield_support_0.patch Did not try latest patch or any other one....
