Is there a way to generate a CSV from the catalog?

[kylor12]

I don't have the original CSV and would like to generate one so I can update information in a spreadsheet instead of individually from admin.

 

If it's not possible to do that, can I find out how many and what columns need to be filled in so I can create one from scratch (ugh...that would be a LOT of typing).

 

Thank you,

Kylor12

If you have access to your hosting server, through say CPanel, you can export a CSV file from within phpMyAdmin.

The alternative is to install the Easy Populate contribution and use that to download a file.

 

Then you can edit the values contained therein.

 

The advantage is that any new manufacturers, categories etc are created automatically for you.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Jim: My cpanel doesn't list phpmyadmin so I went and downloaded it. I'll have to spend some time with the documentation before I try to install it.

 

Geoffrey: EP is listed in my admin section, but there are just some parameters that can be set. I don't know how to use it, so it looks like I'll need to spend some time with the documentation for that as well.

 

I very much appreciate your information. This forum is a such a valuable resource to a lot of people because of members like the two of you.
