Phosky Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hello, I've some problems with this contribution... If I duplicate a product (same model but different description) the old product is updated... not added. The solution that I see is to get a column with products_id, but I don't know how to do this. I suppose that if the ID is different, the product will not sobrewrite. Can you help me? Thanks you. Greeting Forums, the perfect place to practice my English. From Spain.

niknakgroup Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 simple solution - use same code, add unique identifier to the end - i.e. if you have two product descriptions for item GSR240, do one as GSR240a and second as GSR240b etc. etc. Would be a lot easier than adding extra fields in all over the show. :) Please note - if I have suggested a contrib above, it doesnt mean it will work! Most of the contribs are not ones I've used, but may be useful for your particular problem.... Have you tried a refined search? Chances are your problem has already been dealt with elsewhere on the forums..... if (stumped == true) { return(square_one($start_over) } else { $random_query = tep_fetch_answer($forum_query) } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikpotts Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 One thing Ive noticed with easy populate is that when you delete a product from the spreadsheet and upload the new file the product you take off the spreadsheet is still listed. Is the only way to delete products via the catalog in admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 One thing Ive noticed with easy populate is that when you delete a product from the spreadsheet and upload the new file the product you take off the spreadsheet is still listed. Is the only way to delete products via the catalog in admin? Easy Populate will not allow ANY products to have the same ID (in your case, model #) So the above suggestion would work well for you. As for deleting products, you will have to do this in Admin or directly through your database using phpMyAdmin or whatever you have. I personally do this through the database as I delete large quantities at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosky Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks you for the answers. Niknakgroup, I did that and it work perfectly although the best thing would be to be able to add products with the same model number and different product ID. I hope that some programmer do it for me (and for other people of course ^^) Klynns, I say the same (about the programmer), because I've got the same problem too. Ah, new problem reported. If you edit in excel your catalog, when update and re-download, the date is erase, remaining: 0000-00-00 00:00 Greetings Forums, the perfect place to practice my English. From Spain.
