berkozoid Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is this a normal problem? Something that has no solution due to the fact it is still in beta?Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Wilson Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi,Did you follow the instructions about the CSV import tool on our Wiki ?http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Importing_Product_Data/Can you post screen shots perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkozoid Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 The products I add do not appear in the back end or the front end. I also followed the instructions word for word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthieu Biart Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi berkozoid!I think your issue is the same as "this one":/bug_tracker/view/249/ which I just discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtyana Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Shouldn't your category be a number and not words ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakano Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Shouldn't your category be a number and not words ? Yes, I also found this out the hard way. Categories should be CSVed as numbers and not by their names. So before importing the file, you should first check the Catalog page to view the corresponding IDs. But you can only add one category, so if you don't know where to put a certain Cat, it should be "1" so that you can view them at the Home page.Default entry is 0, meaning... you won't see them listed. Sure, you can do a catalog search, but then you'd need to edit the products one by one which just won't do... there's always the possibility to do it at phpmyadmin but... I'm not sure if updating ps_category_product is enough. Even if it does, it's just too bothersome. I think for the next version of PS, developers might/should think of something. Maybe in the BackOffice it'd help to give more possible admin options taking advantage of the checkboxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyana Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Peter Wilson, you here?A change to your wiki to say Category ID instead of just Category might help the newbiesMaybe also add that the ID can be found in the BO under the heading IDNewbies aren't familiar with database thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolvil Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I tried to import csv with the number of category of my shop.but If I look in database I can see the items in ps_product_lang but not in ps_product where they should be too.so nothing is displayed in category in front and back office.
