Price Text

[Tezzflyer]

Can anyone tell me how to import text for a price description - eg: "per box of 10" or "per tube" or "per metre" etc. at present I have to edit each product manualy and put the text in the 'Customer Message' field under the prices tab.
Thanks

Welcome, Terry

This one's in the Actinic Help (Help / Help Topics). It shows that you can use a field called Price Text to do just that.

Price Text - No field to map to

Yes, I saw this in the documentation and prepared my import file with the 'per box' etc. stuff.
However when I came to import the csv file there was no 'Price Text' field to map to!!!

Hi there

It looks like there is a mistake in the help. Price Text is now a 'user-definable variable', which cannot be imported via a standard flat file.

However, all is not lost as in the help as in the section called 'Importing | Converting Flat Files To Hierarchical Files' it tells you how to get your flat file into a format that can go straight into Actinic and bring all the user-definable variables with it.

Hope that helps you out.

...and bring all the user-definable variables with it...

Or will do with v851, with the importing CV value bug fix.

Terry,

Whoops. Silly me for believing the Help.

As Duncan mentions, there's a bug in 8.5.0 and under whereby User Defined fields cannot be correctly imported.

V8.5.1 fixes that (but is in Beta so I'd not recommend it for a live site) and there's also a replacement 8.5.0 Catalog.exe containing that fix, that you can get from Actinic Support.

If they're gone for the weekend and you're desperate to keep going, then there are a few of us with this file so we may be able to forward it to you.
