Hi Dave
Forget my last post on duplicate entry key again my mistake i used your debug version of database.php from the forum after changing back don't see the error anymore?
Why does this return as an duplicate error when i use the debug version of database.php?
Best Regards
Darren
Hi Darren,
That's normal - it's the mechanism by which duplicate products (from the same merchant) are prevented from being imported - by creating a duplicate key.
If you are seeing a large number of those errors for a particular merchant, it may indicate that you could increase the number of products for that merchant by combining the product name with another field. For example, some clothing product feeds might just have a simple product name of "Jumper", and then another field in the feed might hold a colour (i.e. field name "COLOUR"), so you could combine the colour field with the product name field using a Text Before field containing the following text;
"%COLOUR% "(without quotes, but note the trailing SPACE)
...and the otherwise duplicates might then be imported as "Red Jumper", "Blue Jumper" etc.
Cheers,
David.
