problem with unique name for product

Submitted by affolable on Wed, 2006-04-19 08:55 in

Hello everybody,

I have one feed for 934 products, the problem a lot of product have the same name and after export only 171 products are save, I know price tapestry only for 4 days, and I suppose the problem is that the program save for each merchant only 1 product with a unique name, is there a solution to solve that ?

Thx a lot,
Jean-Christophe

Hello Jean-Christope,

You are correct in how Price Tapestry works - there can be only 1 product with a unique name per merchant.

This might happen; for example; when you have a feed with clothing and there is just one product name but another field that has the size in it, i.e.:

Product Name: Jumper
Size: Small

Product Name: Jumper
Size: Medium

Product Name: Jumper
Size: Large

Now, if your feed is like this, it would be possible to write a new filter that combined another field with the product name to make a new, more unique product name for each record, so you would have:

"Small Jumper"
"Medium Jumber"
"Large Jumper"

Does your feed have another field that could be used in this way?

Hello,
I think about this solution but in the feed I have only an id that I can use, and it's no very funny to have

Chemise 14248177
Chemise 14248179

I think also to had brand but it's possible to have same product from the same brand

the feed is like that :
"Chemise"|"http://pdt.tradedoubler.com/click?a=1062401&p=22353&prod=14248177"|"http://www.dress-for-less.fr/images/products/225x300_n/da-0199n.jpg"|"forme taillée passe-partout, bord arrondi à la base, Longueur : 72 cm environ, 100% coton"|"20.5"|"EUR"|"14248177"|"Mens clothing"|"Homme/Chemises"|"brand: Deal; listprice: 52.95"

"Chemise"|"http://pdt.tradedoubler.com/click?a=1062401&p=22353&prod=14248197"|"http://www.dress-for-less.fr/images/products/225x300_n/dg-1413n.jpg"|"forme ample et confortable, Boutons optique nacre, logo incrusté, très belle qualité, 100% coton"|"69.5"|"EUR"|"14248197"|"Mens clothing"|"Homme/Chemises"|"brand: Dolce&Gabbana; listprice: 124.00"

If i didn't find other solution I will be use with the unique ID

Thanks for your help
