Havouza Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi! I try to import a category tree using the csv function. It is important that I can set also the ID:s because I use a xml feed from the supplier and it has to match. But the import just give the categories numbers from 3 and up. Is there a way to fix this? There seem to be no error, the import just dont bother about the id field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickon Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi, Did you enable "force ID" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yes I did. It is strange it works with some cats and some not. I have to look deep to the csv file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickon Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 You will have probably problems with subcat's. You have to asign a root cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have given up. It behaves different every time. Sometimes create a category 2-3 times, next time create all categories as parents and no tree.. All when you try to force the ID. When you let it Autoincrement ID:s then it works as it should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickon Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Seems you bumbed into a bug:-) Reporting it would be the best option we have so @mdekker and @lesley can fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I do that as soon as I run into them. However before I report it I will have a test on a PS i have up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have no experience with this but did a search and found this module. Maybe it can help you?

nickon Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Assuming there is an xml I always pay a developer to create an import script for this. It's worth every penny. The time and effort for importing via csv is simply not worth my time + it's prone to errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Three issues I need help with, please: I looked at Preferences - Top Menu Items - so I could arrange them but they aren't there. All my categories are in one big long list in the footer, on the left side. The images I associated with the categories are either not there, or the wrong image is there: A dog tie is not a dog dress! lol https://prestatest.alwayspaws.com/dog-dresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I gave up and use the old Top Menu. Simple but stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 @Havouza said in Category import csv: I gave up and use the old Top Menu. Simple but stable @Havouza Uh-oh. Is this the same situation for importing products? I'm not a coder and don't know how to do this. I know how to use sublime to edit files but I don't know which files I'm supposed to be using and where to copy them to. @mdekker no pressure at all I promise, but if this is something that's going to be fixed soon I can wait since my live site is working. I really hate using old junk like code, etc, because I have no idea how to integrate updates. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What files do I copy from PS 1.6 for the top menu categories? How do I delete the list of categories that went into the footer after category import since the category section doesn't show anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I copied the blocktopmenu folder tp modules in TB and then installed it. The footer links is another module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 @Havouza thanks! I'll do that to import the categories. Did the products import work? @mdekker Also, I still need to know how to remove those categories from the footer because they were put there by TB categories import.

Havouza Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 When the module is installed you configure it by adding the categories you want to the menu. They will all show up on the config page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 TB has two files in the blocktopmenu folder: blocktopmenu.tpl index.php Live site has only one: blocktopmenu.tpl Do I just copy the blocktopmenu.tpl file into the TB blocktopmenu folder or do I also delete the index.php file that is already in the TB blocktopmenu folder? Footer problem is cleared up: My categories in the footer finally showed up in admin, so I deleted them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I just copies the folder from PS and the copied it to TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 @Havouza TB folder has two files and PS has only one file. I have backups, so I'll go for it... soon. Here are the screenshots of the contents of each folder. blocktopmenu in thirtybees blocktopmenu folder in PrestaShop 1.6.1.11 Does anyone have an opinion on what I should copy, since my live site theme was not generated by PS, but by TemplateMonster.

alwayspaws Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 @Havouza - how do you get images directly in the post? Thank you for the screenshot. I was looking much further into subcategories. So I'm supposed to copy the whole folder from here? public_html/modules/blocktopmenu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Pictures you can only add in the post if you use the Reply button, not Quick Replay. There is a button top right to use. Second from the right Yes the whole folder. Then you need to install it from BO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 @Havouza Thank you. In case anyone needs extra help, this is what I did: Admin - cPanel - Filemanager: public_html/modules/blocktopmenu downloaded the blocktopmenu folder in zip format Went to modules and services "add a new module" uploaded the zip file Message said: "module was successfully downloaded" Searched for blocktopmenu - didn't see it, but the categories show up in admin. Categories - click "empty categories" to see your categories. Note (because this is the step I'm up to now) - since the categories are currently empty, they won't show up on the site until products are in them. Next I added attributes. Backed up TB site.

alwayspaws Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I uploaded a products csv which is associated with the categories I created. I made sure each product - all 142 of them - was associated with the correct categories. Categories are not showing up at the tops of the pages but they are listed in the footer again. I have a LOT of problems with product import csv and had to revise it and manually associate the categories that were incorrectly associated. Some product images and descriptions are scrambled. This is not correct: A dog barrette is NOT a dog cooling vest. O.o :anguished: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
