"IMPORT" functionality question (R8 build 7345)

The AbleCommerce data exchange is a useful feature for importing and updating data. The Data Exchange feature (just like the 7.0.x data port) is only supported via the forums or paid support.

"IMPORT" functionality question (R8 build 7345)

Post by msandin » Mon Jul 28, 2014 7:12 am

Folks,

I have done an "EXPORT" and examined the created csv file. In it is a field named "categories". Within that field is info that is obviously created from the tables ac_categories, ac_categoryparents and ac_catalognodes by the "EXPORT" program.

Is the "IMPORT" program supposed to take info from that field and update those tables?

My empirical tests indicate that this is not happening.

How can we update those tables programmatically?
