had anyone any insight on how the csv import works?
i can sucessfully import a csv with products with minimal data, such as price and names/details... but i'm assuming that i can build an entire catalog out of a csv.
the reason i say this is that our products are held in an awkward database, that i can output csv, in any format.
i have managed to get this to work and my database sucessfully sicks out products. these are then saved as csv, and imported and I can build the html happily. but i'm missing a _lot_ of fields, and things such as size and colour option form items, including some key layout items, and some structures i dont understand.
i output a csv from actinic itself, to investigate the format, to mimic it, but its hideously complex!!
i'll happily write a set of programs to edit this csv, or give out my database and asp to anyone that helps me to solve this daft output. so that they can build squillions of products too.
thanks for the help in advance ;o)
