Easy Populate Large Files


Recommended Posts

Hey there, i skimmed through the other easy populate threads, but couldnt find much information regarding this matter.

 

Heres my situation. I will have about 50,000 items on my site, and it will be quite inconvenient to upload all this when i just need to add say 10-20 items.

 

My question is, is it possible to manually create say 20 seprate files, for items in each category, and then say if i need to add something to the first category, i just need to modify that file, and upload that. Will it do what its supposed to do? (just adding those new items), or will it confuse easy populate and delete the other items :S

 

Another Question is, is it possible to delete a item using easy populate? Like removing that EORE** sumthin.

William,

 

I am not sure, but from what I understand, EP will only update whatever's in a file... so you might have 50,000 products in your db and only 20 in your excel file, it will only update the 20 if needed. Keep in mind I have not actually tested this, but that's what it is supposed to do ;)

 

EasyPopulate is not able to delete any records. It can make them inactive, but it will not delete. If you look through the PHP code, you will see there is an option in development for deleting stuff, but it's not working yet.
