Adding items

Hi,

 

I've set up an osCommerce shop, all works fine, now I have to add the products. I've got about 500 products to add, is there an easier way than to add them all seperately with the "new product"-button in the admin-page?

 

Greetings,

Mick

I use the following method

 

use phpmyadmin to export the following tables

 

products

categories (after setting up the categories in osc admin)

categorie_descriptions

product_descriptions

products_to_categories

 

I then use excel to copy and paste the text in the fields within the relevant tables for the products

 

using the category numbers i add the relevant ones to the products_to_categories tables

 

then i use aan application called twang that writes the sql for me (Found this is better than importing text files for me) and then i execute the sql scripts

 

voila! The products are now there - My shop has over 1300 items and it took me about 30 minutes to do it this way

 

hth
