Did you assign products to any category?

Do you mind sharing a short sample of your file (2-3 first lines)?

Hello and thanks for your response!!

I attach a sample (3 frist lines) file derived from the one used to do the import.

It is true that I didn't include the variable(s)/column(s) referring to categories and brands (the one I imported had about 10 columns) as I intend to insert/update this list in phases because the spreadsheet requires still some cleaning and editing, besides the mapping of the variables I had done already.

I think it would help greatly to know which variables/columns must be filled and are indispensable to make the import work, and which are optional and can be filled later as an update.

I appreciate any comments after seeing the attached sample file.

Thanks!!

Hi!

Thanks for your response!

Right now I can't access the spreadsheet but is true that I didn't include the variable(s)/column(s) referring to categories and brands (the one I imported had about 10 columns) as I intend to insert/update this list in phases because the spreadsheet requires still some cleaning and editing, besides the mapping of the variables I had done already.

Later I'll try to produce those first three lines!

Thank you!!

Hi!

I followed your last suggestion from last week so I exported from AC a list of 10 products to check how isit is organized.

The thing is the resultant CSV file has more than 510 columns of variables  for each product (up to column ACS on Libreoffice), so I find quite overwhelming to know what of those variables are the ones I need to fill and-or replace from the list exported in VirtueMart.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Also I have tried to contact AbanteCart professional support about 3 times since more than a week ago, so I fill the form but so far haven´t received any response.

Should I give up with this project? 

Thanks!

I checked all of it and the problem was that the Location Zones were not defined. Once I defined them, the checkout calculated it at checkout but not the way it was supposed to.

I mean in my country all receipts work a bit different. If I put x price for a product (as is shown in the product page), that's is supposed the final price including taxes --I mean the receipt is supposed to show three things:
1- The price without the tax
2- The tax (20%)
3- The total that is the sum of 1&2

For example if the description page says that the price is $120, then at checkout and later in the receipt it should be described as:
Subtotal=100
Tax=20
Total=120

But AbanteCart applies the tax after what should be considered as the total price and obviously that is not what we need in our country.

Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I read the banners, blocks & layouts documentation pages and I think I've got it at least partially.

I get that banners are only supposed to display 1 image which becomes a clickable image associated with an URL.

I get that to have a slideshow I have to create or modify 1 block that selects all the static banners I just described.

I get that I have to modify the layout of the Home page so it includes the block I just described.

Am i getting something wrong at this point?

I wanna see the functionality as it appears on the original AbanteCart Home Page (before making modifications to AbanteCart) that works as a slideshow that alternate between images and even has a nice roll on effect from above.

I have used 2 types of "block wrapper (appearance)" settings: FlexSlider & OneByOne but none of this show all the static banners I created and selected (it only shows 1 of these I selected).

I hope is not too confusing but it is kinda hard to explain without showing.

Thanks

Hi!

Thanks for your answer but still having issues.

I figured that to insert the products I have to import the manufacturers first, because to insert the products the list of manufacturers must be set up already --also as a test of importing a smaller CSV with just one variable.

So I downloaded all CSV files on the documentation link, opened the one that is about inserting manufacturers and followed all settings within the documentation page.

At some attempts I got some errors but finally I got a message:

Total loaded: 110. Updated: 0. Created: 110. Errors: 0

But if I go to Catalog->Manufacturers on AbanteCart I still see no changes. I see the list of manufacturers that the installation of AC creates (Gucci,Bvlgari...).

Is it a cache issue or maybe some permissions somewhere?

I attach the 2 CSV files (with and without quoted text) that gave me the message I mentioned which seemed to indicate all was alright.

EDIT: I don't see the attached files without being logged in, so next I put the first 5 lines for each file I attempted with:

1- manufacturers_export_2.csv:

action   manufacturers.manufacturer_id
insert   2k Games
insert   2k Sports
insert   505 Games
insert   Activision
...

2- manufacturers_export_2_noquotedtext.csv:

action   manufacturers.manufacturer_id
insert   "2k Games"
insert   "2k Sports"
insert   "505 Games"
insert   "Activision"
...

Any suggestion(s) are *very* appreciated, especially because the CSV file for products is going to be much longer and if I´m stuck with this, I don´t wanna imagine when working that products list.

Also for this question I made before:

I have some custom variables for all product (like say for example color, material, etc). How could I map this variables to something that AbanteCart would understand?

I can't export a csv from AC with these custom variables as so far there is no product that has this custom variables, which begs the question if there is a way to add these variables manually inside AC in the first place? --maybe as a category? or as a tag?

Thanks!

Hi!

Could please someone with experience try and answer this?

Sorry to have this many questions. After experience with AbanteCart I hope to be become less annoying

Thanks
