Hi Henk,
To make this work, you need to have another field in the feed that can be used to make the product name unique; and then incorporate that into the Text After filter using the %FIELD% placeholders.
In the computer games example, let's say that you had registered the "NAME" field as the product name (which just contains the game name); but there was another field in the feed called "PLATFORM", then you would create a Text After filter using:
" %PLATFORM%"
...without the quotes - but notice the leading SPACE. That will ensure that the new product name is NAME[space]PLATFORM, for example "Grand Turismo PS2".

ok then we have a problem, the only field i can put into is a serial number.
Then you cant compare prices options for these items
product name 123456
product name 123457
etc.
and the text after filter doesnt work.
Why it isnt possible to import all, i want it :)
hahahaha
Cheers HEnk
Hi Henk,
I'm sorry about that - the script is completely geared around unique product names - there is just no easy way to handle a feed which contains lots of products with the same name if you do not have another field that can be used to qualify it.
Cheers,
David.
Hello Henk,
What you normally need to do here is use the "Text After" filter to append another field to the product name to make it more unique.
This is sometimes the case in video game feeds; where the product name is just the name of the game, but another field holds the platform, for example "XBox", "PS2" etc.
Cheers,
David.
