Hello again my Smith Cart friends -

I am unable to import products using the supplied Product Import Spreadsheet Template from:
http://www.smith-consulting.com/Forums/forumid/4/threadid/13968/scope/posts.aspx

At first I receive the error:
"Product Import Title Tag" when trying to import.

I assumed this was related to the top row of column titles, so I deleted this column and tried to re-import. I then receive this error:
"Product Import Error Categories"

I tested this on my website, as well as the test website provided me by you guys at:
www21.smith-consulting.com/

I tried using the product information supplied by default in the downloaded spreadsheet. I deleted it down to one product, and it still will not import. The format of the categories provided in the downloaded spreadsheet is as follows:
Facility Maintenance & Safety Supply~Safety Supply~First Aid Products

I even tried using the spreadsheet for the previous versions, and that one does not work either, as the import is expecting the "delete" column.

Thanks for looking into this.
Alex

Dang it.

I filled out the fields, but it looks like the three new "tag" fields did not take on the import.

I checked the products, and the fields are not populated in the SEO tags portion of the edit product menu.

Can't wait for this to work though..... Will be a HUGE time saver!

Hi Alex,

I just wanted to follow up with you to check if you have been able to successfully get your Products imported.

Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Thanks

Hi Kevin -

The products do import, but the new fields added in 5.20 (the ones you highlighted in yellow) are not added to the product.

Kevin,

I have set up a fresh dnn installation with smith cart 5.22.

I tested importing one product. The import was successful, but the three new fields still did not populate on the product.

I also did a test import on the test portal provided to me by Smith Cart. The new fields also did not import there. Could you please look into this? This functionality would be key to my site moving forward.

Thanks

I noticed that the new export function in smith cart exports in .csv format.

Is that how we should now be importing products?

No, you should save the csv exported to xls before importing your products.

Thanks. Have you had a chance to look into the importing issue? The fields export fine in 5.24, but import does not work.

Hi Alex,
We were able to replicate the issue in the product import with the new fields,"Title Tag", "Keyword Tag", and "Description Tag" not importing. I will email you the 5.25 build with the fix.

Thanks for reporting the issue!
