Only 8,582 products being imported

Submitted by Harvey on Fri, 2009-05-08 18:05 in

Hi David,

I'm trying to import a feed (Stripped down House of Fraser feed specifically) - {link saved}. It's 11 megs with about 15k products.

Strangely PT only imports 8,582 products each time.

There is a "Text after" filter on the "Name" field as "%SKU%", making all names unique. This is because many different products have the same name "print t shirt" across loads of different brands for example.

I've tried it without this filter on and it imports 8,395 products.

The autodetected format being used is csv|9|1|0.

I can't see anything out of the ordinary around said row, and after 4-5 attempts is consistently stops on the above number so it doesn't seem to be a timeout issue either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Harvey,

Is it possible that the other requirements are not met? For a record to be imported, the product name must be unique (sounds OK as you are adding SKU), and the record must have valid Buy URL and Price fields.

It's not uncommon for data corruption in feeds to mean one or more conditions are not met so this is most likely the case - but double check that the sample record on Feed Registration (Step 2) appears displayed correctly, indicating the the auto-detection has not missed of quoted text for example...

If it all looks ok, if you could email me a link to your site and the name of the feed i'll download it from your /feeds/ folder to my test server and take a look for you...

Cheers,
David.

Ah yes, cheers David, it was because the prices were set to "0"!

Thanks
