yet again problems with importing products into v7

[rod willis]

Hi

Can anybody suggest any data base that simplifies importing products into actinic, I know I am not the only one who has had this problem, we have had to create sub sections and sub sub sections for our site and with a range of 5000 products evrytime we have to do a large product change we are having major difficulties.

Is there any plugins or actinic compatible product management tools that any one can reccomend to us ?? I have read all the previous threads on this subject and advice seems to vary from thread to thread.

best regards

We spoke with Actinic technical support today on issues with importing a Hierarchical CSV file which had not been amended, nor even openned after being exported from the Actinic software, and they told us that they were working on a fix for release in 7.0.3.

Now whether this is the same bug or something completely different, can not say, but in our instance they said that this was recorded as a bug and they were fixing it within the next release.

hierarchical imports for complex products are just a disaster - always have been imo.

Hi
I have just upgraded to 7.0.3. and I still get an error when trying to import . Being a learner , I exported the catalog and then tried to import it and still got the same error..
Anybody got any ideas please? I need to update my prices and don't want to change them all manually.!

you can edit the Database direct (backup first) or create an import file with just product ref and price, you should be able to get that to import
