· Hide product codes in descriptions using HTML comment tags. <!-- productcode -->
Concerned about customers seeing the product codes? Put the product codes in the descriptions
and enclose the keywords or product codes within HTML comment tags. The comment tags will
keep the code from appearing in the catalog pages, but the search tool will still find the keywords
and product codes even when they are between comment tags.
3.8 Import Products
Products may be imported into each category from a pipe separate list. This bulk import tool is limited to
the product name, description, retail price, and a thumbnail image. It will reduce the initial shopping cart
setup time if your product list is very long, but you must still set individual attributes, preview files,
multiple product files, shipping methods, etc.
Create a Pipe Separated List
The products are imported from a pipe separated list. Here is an example. This example is also included
in a file named productimportsample.txt, which is provided with the AShop V new installation package.
Category Name|SKU|Inventory|Product Name|Product Description|Price|Weight|Shipping|
Tax|Product File1|Image File.gif
Category Name|SKU1|10|Product Name 1|Product Description 1|10.00|2|3.00|1|
productfile1.pdf|thumbnailfile1.gif
To skip one of the fields just put the next pipe character directly after the last one, with no other text in
between, for example: "Category Name||" (skips the SKU code).
If you leave the category name field blank, the product will be added to the category that you initiated the
import from, otherwise it will be added to any category with the name you specify. If there are multiple
categories with the same name, the product will be added to all of them.
Excel spreadsheets can be saved as a pipe separated list using Excel 2003 and newer.
Upload Images by FTP
All thumbnail images must be preuploaded to the prodimg directory and all product files to products
directory. They will be copied to the filenames described in the product list file. They aren't renamed or
removed in order to allow the same thumbnail or product file to be used for multiple products.
Import the Pipe Separated List
To import a product list, navigate to Edit Catalog. Click the "edit" link below the category where the
products will be imported to. Browse to the pipe separated list text file.
