Importing new products into existing categories

[JohnnyHigh]

Hello all,

I have a store with approximately 2000 items. I need to add about 600 more, and I've done test imports with 1 or 2 items and everything gets imported correctly except that the item is always placed in the "Home" Category rather than the proper one it should exist in. I've tried using both the Category ID (7 in this example) as well as the Category Name (Hydro Components). No matter what I do the item always lands in the "Home" Category.

 

I would tell you which version of Prestashop I'm using but I've inherited the admin portion of the online store, and the previous admin removed the footer.

 

Thanks for reading this and hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem for me.

 

Thanks again everyone!

Hi,

 

It should work with ID category, I often use it Perhaps a bug on the version you use ?

You can find your Prestashop version number in the file config/setting.inc.php ( PS_VERSION ).

Thanks Optim'Infomatique, I checked the config/settings.inc.php file like you suggested and this is what is found.

 

define('_PS_VERSION_', '_PS_VERSION_');

I think your Prestashop has been modified... if you don't know where are the modification, the simplest way to solve your problem is to debug the import ( in admin/tabs/AdminImport.php )
