Sorting products

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us. I am not entirely sure I understand what it is you are trying to accomplish. Can you explain a bit more into detail please?

Hi. Yes of course. When im exporting xml for mall – i must define category for each product with param CATEGORY_ID. We have 14 variable products in 5 categories one the webshop. But i dont know how to set in the plugin more categories for products, f.e.: boilies, pellets and more … Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the screenshots. According to the field mapping you have set a static value for your category_id on your field mapping page. A static value will automatically be added to all of your products in your feed.

When you want this to be dynamic and have a different value for each product than you need to create a new WooCommerce attribute and fill that attribute on your product edit pages with the category ID’s you want to use. That newly created WooCommerce attribute you then use on the field mapping page and map it to the category_id field.

Hope this makes sense?

OK .. I understand .. ill try it. Thank you very much!

Hi.

Thank you!! It helped – categories are now OK.

I have another problem: We have only variable products (fishing lures – with attributes for example: weight,taste – size,taste). In the feed there are shown as PARAM′s. But mall.sk wants another field to add to xml: VARIABLE_PARAMS for each product.

FOR EXAMPLE (product attributes shown currently in xml) :
<PARAM>
<NAME>MP_SIZE</NAME>
<VALUE>10/14 mm</VALUE>
</PARAM>
<PARAM>
<NAME>MP_TASTE</NAME>
<VALUE>PinPeach</VALUE>
</PARAM>

THEY WANTS TO ADD: for variable products like this:
<VARIABLE_PARAMS>
<PARAM>MP_SIZE</PARAM>
<PARAM>MP_TASTE</PARAM>
</VARIABLE PARAMS>

I don′t know how to solve this. Please help me to figure out. I′m sending some screenshost .. Thanks in advance, Best regards, Z

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us. Our plugin currently does not support the addition of VARIABLE_PARAMS, so unfortunately these cannot be added to your feed.

We will add your request to our developers to-do list so they can try adding this field in one of the upcoming releases. Unfortunately I cannot yet tell when this will be put live.

Ok, thanks for response!

It′s not be solvable with your previous solution?

“When you want this to be dynamic and have a different value for each product than you need to?create a new WooCommerce attribute?and fill that attribute on your product edit pages with the category ID’s you want to use. That newly created WooCommerce attribute you then use on the field mapping page and map it to the category_id field.“

By adding custom attribute to product – as MP_TASTE, MP_WEIGHT than use on the field mapping page as VARIABLE_PARAMS field?

Thanks, Z

That won’t work as the VARIABLE_PARAMS nodes need to be around the param nodes. This is not something you can configure yourselves in the field mapping.

Sry .. there is no any other solution for this? It′s urgent for my client,
because without these variable params the mall can′t start selling every product. THANKS

there is no other solution unfortunately

Hi,

We have just pushed out a new release of the plugin that supports the VARIABLE_PARAMS field. Just update the plugin to the latest version and make sure you leave this new default field mapping in place: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7sxfmz2r3iajjjj/VARIABLE_PARAMS.png?dl=0

Hope this helps?

Hi.

I′ve noticed the update. SUPER – THANKS.
Last time ive solved it manually ?? with dreamweaver – by find and replace i inserted variable params for every product with one click in xml – than manually deleted unnecessary fields ?? That was my custom solution.

I′m really happy that the variable params are now included in plugin.

Best regards, ZP

You are welcome, thanks for letting us know this field was missing. Much appreciated.
