I'm back in business again. Yes, the resized folder is writable. File permissions were 755, but I've changed this to 777 to obviate any problems. Regards, Iain Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:04:43 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12505-product+atrridutes.html#12509 Hello Scarlett, You can only use a field time. Have a look at the attribute (http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-virtuemart-documentation/available-fields/attribute.html) field documentation. It explains how to add more than 1 attribute to your product. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:48:18 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12506-export-full-image-path.html#12507 Your post (http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/24-help-registered-users/12473-export-full-image-path.html) was already published and answered yesterday. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:31:07 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12498-duplicate-skus.html#12501 Hello, Hello I have some products that have the same SKUs but are in different categories. It is my understanding that this is a csvi issue and not virtuemart. Correct, CSVI does not support the same SKU for different products as it uses the SKU as unique identifier for a product. The SKU being the stock keeping unit should actually be unique. If you have for example a HP desktop with SKU HP01 and a HP printer with HP01, how would you know which product it is? There is another issue in this field also that is a child product with multiple parent products. This is not supported either, although it should be possible. Like a keyboard that can belong to multiple PC's. Now it is possible to add the same product to multiple categories without duplicating the product. In the category_path (http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-virtuemart-documentation/available-fields/categorypath.html) field you can separate multiple categories by a pipe-symbol |. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:39:32 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12477-replacement/Page-2.html#12499 Thanks for that feedback, I have an idea what might be going on. Time to investigate :) Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:26:53 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12475-product_desc-getting-cut-off.html#12497 Thank you it was actually the fault of the spreadsheet. Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:51:36 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12472-product-file-import-error-500.html#12493 I set it to 500 records and it works AWESOME! I no longer have to carve up my input files! THANKS! For others reading this post ... you will see a "time running" counter as it processes each chuck of records from the file. The total number of records processed is displayed and the timer will reset to zero everytime it grabs a new chunck of records .. in this case 500. For me needs it works great! THANKS! Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:10:14 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12474-can-t-import.html#12485 Hello Paul, There are a few problems with your file. All of the problems are explained in the Troubleshooing import errors (http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-virtuemart-documentation/f.a.q/troubleshooting-import-errors.html) document. The issues are:Encoding is not correctField data is not correct It is also not advised to use any field ending with _id. In your file that is manufacturer_id and category_id. The category_id you can remove as you already have the category_path. After these issues are corrected, I assume the import will go a lot better. One final thing to check is if you have enable the Use column headers from configuration in the template settings. Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:01:53 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12456-thumbnail-resize.html#12482 Hello Tony, Does the latest version download the images from the host server? or have I misunderstood? The option is available yes. You can also save them on your own server and resize them. Good luck finding a decent template. Not easy for sure. Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:48:17 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12442-can-t-import-new-products.html#12471 Thanks for all you help! It worked perfectly :-) Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:44:23 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/9667-shopper-groups.html#12448 Hello, The debug log shows only users that already exist in VirtueMart. The only thing I see that might be an issue is that the BT address_type_name is set to "ship home" this is actually -default-. I don't think VM supports a different name for the BT address type only for shipping addresses. See if this resolves the users not showing up. They are in the system as CSVI VirtueMart does find a user info ID. Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:38:39 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/10-help/12432-2-vmcategoroymodules-2-settings.html#12437 Hello, Yes you can. In Joomla go to the Modules, select the modules and click the Copy button on the toolbar. You can then customize the copied module. Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:07:19 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12308-product_url-export-does-not-work.html#12436 Hi Rolland, Filling in the domain name in the cvsv settings as http://www.mydomain.com fixed this problem. Thanks, subject can be closed. Regards, Willem-Hein Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:04:19 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12425-bulk-loading-shipping-rates.html#12435 Hello, The shipping rates import works the same way as the products import. The only difference is the fields you can use. If you look under the Available Fields menu in CSVI VirtueMart and filter on the shipping rates import you will get the list of fields you can use. You can also input 1 shipping rate manually using VirtueMart and then do an export to see how it looks like for an import. Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:03:25 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12399-shipping-rate-import-no-name.html#12434 Hello, The log you posted is actually the Joomla debug log not the CSVI VirtueMart debug log ;) Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the shipping rate name needs to be unique otherwise CSVI VirtueMart will not know which shipping rate to update. Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:00:10 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/10776-how-can-i-import-the-units-in-the-product-import.html#12415 Oh, then I have misunderstood either this or the other post since my answer was the same to both :) are the prices then added and shown that there are 25 units in one package? VM will show that the item has x units in a box. Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:58:45 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12381-delimeters.html#12393 To make delimiters like ^ and ~ in Excel is not easy at all. The tutorial uses OpenOffice not Excel. You can use the default Excel delimiters, no problem. Set your import template to use the delimiters Excel creates for you. The import should run fine. Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:19:44 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/8040-csv-file-importing-help/Page-5.html#12389 Hey JJ, Yes you are correct, VM deletes the images if you remove them from a product. In the new VM release we are working on I removed this behavior. Thanks for reporting your experience. Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:40:27 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12331-import-without-errors-but-products-not-showing.html#12366 Is there another forum with kind of premium support? Yes there is. Those who have bought a subscription get access to the registered users forum. Here questions are answered first. Details about a subscription you can find here (http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-virtuemart-documentation/f.a.q/subscription-questions.html). No, but I will try your advices first. If the price doesn't show up at all, check if you have formatted the price field correctly. Documentation is in the Available Fields list. Then only manufacturer import, right? Manufacturers is no problem. You can include the manufacturer_name with the product import. To import details about the manufacturer you will need to use the manufacturer details import. Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:01:21 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/4084-guide-use-excel-to-create-your-xml-import-file/Page-3.html#12361 @rflash68: I completely missed your post here. I can not find any option for the import other than a delimted text file? Where do I tell CSVI I want to use an xml file? Not sure if you found your answer yet, as it is also in the CSVI VirtueMart Handbook but you don't need to tell CSVI VirtueMart what kind of file you are importing it will determine this based on the file extension. @Mackenziella: You can use any spreadsheet you like. I use OpenOffice. The file you save will be CSV anyway, so that should be no problem. Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:22:44 +0100 http://www.csvimproved.com/forum/2-help/12330-importing.html#12360 @Kimmer: You can use pipe delimiters in a CSV file also, that is no problem.

Questions regarding subscriptions can be found in the FAQ (http://www.csvimproved.com/csvi-virtuemart-documentation/f.a.q/subscription-questions.html).

You are advised to use the latest community release version 1.9. The error shows that you are using a very low memory limit. I cannot remember if there are any settings for that in version 0.9. Version 0.9 does read the whole export into memory before exporting, so you have to have enough memory to do an export. Version 1.9 exports immediately and thus requires a lot less memory.
