Greetings everyone,
GREAT contribution. This is exactly what I needed, and my vote for the best contrib ever! Unfortunately, I have a few questions I am hoping you all can help with (there always are, eh?)
First, I have multiple products that need to be listed in multiple categories. They are the SAME product, they just apply to multiple pieces of machinery. For example:
Category 1
- Sub Category 1.1
- Sub Category 1.2
-- Item 1.2.1
- Sub Category 1.3
- Sub Category 1.4
Category 2
Category 3
- Sub Category 3.1
-- Item 3.1.1 (SAME ITEM AS Item 1.2.1)
My problem comes in with the model numbers. In the above example, Item 1.2.1 and Item 3.1.1 need to have the same model numbers, to be easily searchable by the end user. But as far as I can tell from EP documentation, EP *requires* that model numbers are unique. Is there any way around this requirement?
Second, I don't want to populate all the attributes that EP has in their default csv file. Basically, I just want:
v_products_model
v_products_image (default, no image)
v_products_name_1
v_products_description_1
v_products_url_1
v_products_name_2
v_products_description_2
v_products_url_2
v_products_name_3
v_products_description_3
v_products_url_3
v_products_price
v_products_weight
v_date_avail
v_date_added
v_products_quantity
v_manufacturers_name
v_categories_name_1
v_categories_name_2
v_categories_name_3
v_tax_class_title
v_status
Can I create a CSV with ONLY these files and have it still work? Logically, it seems like I should be able to... but I figure I'd ask you experts first.
Third, is there any place I can get exact documentation of what each field is? For example, what exactly is the difference between v_products_name_1, v_products_name_2, and v_products_name_3? What about v_categories_name_1, v_categories_name_2, and v_categories_name_3?
Many thanks to anyone who can help with these questions... and once again, GREAT contribution!
