magento magmi categories creation of the fly

Question

I cannot create my products categories correctly on my magento store using magmi because my csv file is not compliant with magmi

my csv header is this:

Item Code,Price,Stock,Item Title,Category,Sub Category,Manufacturer,Part Number,Weight,Image,Warehouse,description one,description 2,EAN Number
SB-400-00,1.25,Sandberg Hard Back Case (Clear) for iPhone 4,Phones,Accessory,Sandberg,400-00,0.05,OR66300000242579.jpg,3,description one,Sandberg Hard Case for iPhone 4,5706595696

How I can play with Category,Sub Category to have the product in the correct subcat ?

• I try with value replace but I have no positive result.
• I try with On the fly category creator/importer no positive result too.

I have only the category without sub-cat.

Help will be appreciated.

You can configure a few Magmi plugins to format the data so that it can be processed correctly.

1. Make sure you have the On the fly category creator/importer enabled and the Tree level separator: configuration option set to / for the plugin.

2. Enable the Column mapper plugin and add Category,Sub Category to the Mapped columns list

3. For the Category field (in the Column mapper plugin), enter: category

4. For the Sub Category field (in the Column mapper plugin), enter: subcategory

   Your column mapper plugin configuration should look like this:

   

5. Enable the Value Replacer plugin and enter categories into the Replaced attributes field.

6. For the categories field (in the Value Replacer plugin), enter: {item.category}/{item.subcategory}

   Your Value Replacer configuration should look like this:

   

7. Click Save Config and run your import.
