SITUATION:
XML Import Products with Variations by GROUP ID
( Option 2: All products with variations are grouped with a unique value that is the same for each variation and unique for each product. Unique Value: {group_id[1]} )
+ When product has no variation convert to simple product

PROBLEM:
Variations of Products in XML arent BEHIND THEMSELVES with the same GROUP ID.
Import detects that the next product doesnt have the same GROUP ID so it changes the product to simple product. When it arrives to another product with the same GROUP ID it wont change the first product to variable product and wont add the variation.

RESULT:
Products are simple products even if they should have variations.

EXAMPLE IMPORT:
Product Coca Cola 1253 should have variations but its a simple product.

WORKAROUND NOT WORKING:
Disable “When product has no variation convert to simple product”. All products will be variable, but products with one variation cant be bought

Any ideas?

Ive found something like fn:sort and sortedXPath but I dont have a clue how to use it in XPATH or function. Or if its even working.

Thank you in forward for an answer

After few hiccups I successfully moved locally developed wordpress install online. The site works fine. But…

FTP shows my old files having different group/owner then the new files.
I can delete uploaded files through wp media page, but not from ftp.

The folder where wp is running has same group/owner id then my old files, but all recursive files/folders are showing different group.

I don’t have shell access to hosting.
My guess is to ask them to ‘chown’ something

Local system: wp 4.0 – windows 8.1 with xampp 3.2.1

Thank you for your time

probably a rather stupid question. But what’s group id?

Thanks a lot,
Fabian

1. it seems there is no way to grab ONLY the Field Name using types_render_field. If I know the field-slug, how do I render out only the Field Name?
2. Since all of the Custom Fields are Grouped and assigned to post type(s), and not only does this group have a nice name but also a handy group_id, how dose one query info such as Group Name, field-slugs, field-type, field description, etc… by group_id?

This info seems to be missing from the Fields API…
Thanks for any assistance!

I want to place static content on an individual groups home page. Ideally, I’d like to simply disable the activity stream from the admin menu and then implement this, but I’ve realized that the easiest thing to do would be to simply enable activity streams and then modify my BuddyPress theme’s activity-loop.php file to display the corresponding group’s static home page. But, to do this, I would need to be able to distinguish between each group – I assume by group id. How do I retrieve the group id to a variable? Is it as simple as created a global bp and then using $bp->group->id?
