I changed line 216 of import.php from
$setValue=$this->updateSourceAndReturnId($field,trim($value));

to
$setValue=$this->updateSourceAndReturnId($field,$value);

and now it seems to be importing ok… Could you confirm if this was the right thing to do and if you can see any potential problems?

Thanks again for a great bit a work… will save me loads of time.

I am testing with Magento 1.4.0.1 and I am getting the following error after import has started for each product:

* Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/administrator/Projects/magento/htdocs/app/code/local/SURE/ImportA/Model/Import.php on line 216

then no records were imported…

* Processed 100% 7/7 records
* Imported 0 records
* Finished profile execution.

The format of the CSV is what Magento 1.4.0.1 has exported, I just added a couple of lines for testing so I guess the format of the CSV is correct.

Your help would be very much appreciated… thanks!

Hi Subesh Thanks. I will be doing the testing in ver1.4.01.. What really could help is if someone could:
1. provide a sample CSV file
2. What Headings we would add for the spreadsheet especially for attribute options

Thanks in advance for all your help, and thank you Subesh for your knowledge sharing on this blog.

Hi Subesh,
Thanks for all your hard work.
Can you provide either a sample CSV file or tell me what Headers we would add for the attribute options?
Thanks,
Ted

Hi, Sorry for the late response ..

The “best” place to keep your Model file is your Module’s Model folder. Have you created a custom module in Magento before? If not then plz see this

http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/custom_module_with_custom_database_table

Use the Module creator found there and run to create a basic Custom module extension. Create Import.php inside the Model folder of this module and in your Profile XML will have the Model path to this file.

Suppose you have Create a Namespace_Module as Mynamespace_Mymodule then the model path will be like mymodule/import.

This might help you I guess..if not plz feel free to ask again!

Okay… well I fouind a beter place to put the model

“magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Convert/Adapter/Import.php”

kept the file name the same, and the content the same as supplied

and I put this in the path of the XML “catalog/convert_adapter_product”

I tried many different possibilities, and t hat is the only one that work at all. How ever I think that it maybe running a different script.

Can anyone please please advise me, I have got as far as I can with this.

Sorry to be a dullard, just one last nudge would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there I have been trying to use this with Magento ver. 1.3.2.4.

I have it set up… only problem is that the model path.. I just can’t get it right Ihave put the model in the same directory as the xml file “var/import”

I have set the “var/import/import.php”

I have also experimented with just putting it in the magento root directory.

(I have tried using a path like this

“/home/myserver/public_html/magento/var/import/import.php”

Which is the same as the path where the XML file IS found, No problem.. But it does not work for the import.php)

I am sorry to be to be dense … would you please tell me litterally what the correct value I should put in the path, to find the import.php in var/import .. or any other place. The file is deffinately there.

Please help.. thank you very much in advance, for all your kind efforts.
