cs-cart 4.22 - product import

I'm attempting to upload products using a CSV, but a few things are not working as properly.

  1. The product images are not being uploaded at all, The csv field for 'Image detail' has only the name of the file, without anything else, and all the images are uploaded to var/exim/backup/images, Am I missing something?
  2. My stock is managed using product combination, Each combination is a mixture of size and color, However the "combination" field, that's required by CS-cart, is no where to be found manually, only after adding a combination by hand and then checking the database, is the combination field avaiable, that means I cannot use the csv method unless I have a complete table of long product code to actual sizes and colors. Just for reference, this is my combination field in the database for one given combination : 383_1473_459_1701, this is for mediu, green. - How can I upload combinations using CSV without knowing the combination field?

thanks in advance!

Solution

  • I should inform you that starting from CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor version 4.1.1 images can be imported only from the /path/to/cart/var/files/ directory. So you should move all your images to the var/files/1 directory (or its any subdirectory) and correct the path in the Images directory field on the Administration > Import data > Products > Images page in your store admin panel.

    For example, if you move your files to the var/files/1/images directory, you should specify images in the Images directory field. Please check it.

    I know its quite confusing but I've managed to find out by looking into their forums and seeing that you must put your image files to: /public_html/var/files/1/exim/backup/images/
