Importing products of the same name

Submitted by Harvey on Thu, 2008-09-04 13:23 in

Hi David,

Another deviation from standard price comparison I'm afraid!

I'd like to be able to import as normal, but for products with the same name to be seperated -

eg. I have about 30 "print t-shirt"'s in the feed - some adidas, some levi's...

But obviously only one of them imports. If I could do use the Text After filter to add a sequential number so they import as:

print t-shirt 1
print t-shirt 2
print t-shirt 3

etc. then that would solve the problem. Alternatively it could stick the SKU in there from, say, from the category field.

Don't worry about what happens on the product page; clicking a product on the search results page will go straight to the merchant!

Many thanks

Hi Harvey,

If you have the SKU in the feed you can append that using a "Text After" filter with the placeholders. If the field name is SKU, you can use %SKU% in the text box on the configuration page for the Text After filter and it will copy in the value of that field - hopefully making it unique!

Cheers,
David.

Awesome, thanks David - it does indeed make them unique!
