Question

Currently Im using ho-nl/magento1-Ho_Import to import product information in Magento 1.9.2.

  1. I tried importing products using category path (eg: Computers/Keyboards) with success.
  2. Is there a way to import products in magento 1.9 using their category ID (eg: _category=1405)?.

I cannot find the answer in their github site or issues area. Any help appreciated.

EDITED---------------------------------------------------------- additional info. an example of a file that worked ok with category path:

_store,ho_import_profile,sku,_attribute_set,_type,store,_category,is_anchor,_product_websites,cost,price,location,country_of_manufacture,name,short_description,description,manufacturer,qty,weight,status,is_in_stock,tax_class_id,visibility,_media_attribute_id,_media_image,_media_lable,image,image_label,small_image,small_image_label,thumbnail,thumbnail_label,gallery,media_gallery

ANSWER-------------------------------------------------------------------

using '_category' => array(1, 3), if you want to assign products to multiple categories or

'_category' => '3', for single category must work.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Have you tried to just enter the ID and see what happens? I don't know Ho_Import well enough, but I know the underlying AvS_FastSimpleImport well, and in that it's possible. So I'd say it should work.
