Well getting a bad answer is better than no answer so thank you. That being said, the only reason I did the export was to try to populate the fields so when I imported it would go to the proper place. I tried playing with the import/export last night, and it looks like when you import you can "match the columns you want. If that is the case can I just import my own csv file and match the fields I need in their respective columns? Thanks again for your help. Steven

.That is the file I get when I export from prestashop, I did it twice. I would expect the export function would have been a csv file, but this is what I get. I am worried that if I "fix" it up in excel and then try to import it, then it won't work. Does any documentation from prestashop state what format their export function is supposed to be? thank you, Steven

The issue I am having with the PS export/import is I tried to list 1 product so I can see which fields need to be populated then I did an export. The problem is, here is the csv file I got from them ID;Photo;Name;Reference;Category;Base price;Final price;Quantity;Status; 8;Diamond Double Dolphin Engagement Ring 25pts.;x12erd;Dolphin Engagement Rings;799.000000;799;3;1; Both of these lines were in 1 column, (Heading- inventory item below) this is not a csv file that I have seen, much less usuable. i think in excel I could probably cut and paste each section into new columns, but before I do all that and then try to import isn't there a way to make the program export to a proper csv file? Thank you, Steven

I am pretty good with csv files, but the whole point of finding a program to do it is to spend the least amount of time on this aspect. The part I am not going to be good with is probably going to be merging with a mysqladmin database. I would think exporting to a database would be easy. I will check out what you posted, it should help. Thank you., Steven

No not backing up, trying to import the my products directly into the database. I have no reason to back up my current database, if I cannot figure out how to import bulk products, I cannot use the program. Thank you, Steven

Thank you for your reply, however, I do not think I am smart enough to do it the way you did. I can probably do the part using the phpmyadmin and get the template out that way, but after that I am out of my league. Isn't there any program that can do that? Or, can I populate my excel spreadsheet and drop it back in the database? Thank you, Steven

I went to the products section and hit the export button. Most every program I have ever used uses csv. so I can populate the correct columns and then import in the same place since there is an import and export button right next to each other. I have no idea what to do with this file. Thank you, Steven Sorry the products button in the catalog section.

I am trying to export a product sample so I can import all my inventory to the program. However, I have same issue with export file, it looks nothing like a csv file and I tried using text to colums but that didn't help. This is what I get ID;Photo;Name;Reference;Category;Base;price;Finalprice;Quantity;Status; 10;<;Home;0.000000;0;0;1; (this field has no information in it. I cannot get the heading column to export correctly, so I am worried it will not import correctly? Any body have any good ideas please? Thank you, Steven

I am having the same issue. I cannot see the front page of the store. My back end works fine. I have tried reinstalling the program about 3 times and still have not gotten it to work. I have not deleted anything in the program so language issue is not my problem. I am using version 1.5.4.1. I went into file manager and I do not see an htaccess file in the directory where the program is installed. I see some in sub directories though, but I do not know if this is supposed to be like this I am not a programmer nor do I understand much about writing files. 2 weeks ago I had installed the program and it worked fine but deleted it for some reason. I have used different directory names so files from elsewhere should not be interfering. Any ideas please? Thank you, Steven

I have just installed prestashop 1.54.1 and I cannot get the frront page to show up either. The back end works fine. I have tried deleting and reinstalling 3 times with same results. What's worse, last week I had originally installed it and it worked fine. I am not great with html or programming so any help would be appreciated. I cannot figure out why the page won't show up, in my filemanager I can see the index page but cannot read it. I just noticed that there is no htaccess file in my prestashop folder. there is one in the psadmin folder so I am wondering if this is the reason why the page won't show up. Thank you. Steven
