Can osC do this?

using easypopulate to get product to catalog, works great on catagories with a few thousand items. But when catagories have several thousand items, it tends to time out. I have changed the time setting in the code to 600. You can split these files, but it takes forever and ten days to get them in. Can EP be looped or something so you wont have to upload each split file manually?

 

Another thing is can EP update items model # and price only, without effecting the items decription?

 

 

An example of this. Current database, WF355 and WF375 both exist already. Here is your import file:

 

products_model, products_price, products_weight, products_name

WF345, 3.45, 0.56, Wiper Fluid

WF355, , 0.75, Ultra Wiper Fluid

WF375, 4.25, , Supreme Wiper Fluid

 

Here is what will happen:

A new product will be created for WF345 with the fields that are given.

For WF355, products_weight and products_name will be updated

For WF375, products_price and products_name will be updated

I believe that PHP has a timeout that you can only set if you are the server admin. If you are on a web hosting account, and do not control the server, then they most likely have the php timeout value set to something low enough that you cannot run 10 minute scripts. That would take up more resources than they're willing to give you all at once.

 

If it's your own server, then look at your php.ini to increase the php timeout value.
