Hi David,
I hope you can help with this one. I am trying to put some code in admin.php for manipulating records at import. Now, I'm seeing some strange behaviour whereby if I try and set one field to a particular value, any other blank fields are also assigned this value for some reason. i.e. if I use this code:
if (trim($record["FIELDS/FIELD/NAME@1"]) === "size")
{
$record[$admin_importFeed["field_B"]] = $record["FIELDS/FIELD/VALUE@1"];
}I've come across this before and it's stumped me and previously I've had to create separate variables to deal with it. i.e.
$fieldB = $record["FIELDS/FIELD/VALUE@1"];Cheers.

Hi David,
I'm really trying to avoid doing it that way as I may need to work on the $record later on and I can then use a generic solution for any field. I have tried using ISSETs but to no avail either:
$record[$admin_importFeed["field_B"]] = (isset($record["FIELDS/FIELD/VALUE@1"])?trim($record["FIELDS/FIELD/VALUE@1"]):"");Cheers.

Hi Keeop,
One option would be to create a "virtual" field for it; so before your code above, try something like:
if (!$admin_importFeed["field_B"])
{
$admin_importFeed["field_B"] = "%FIELDB%";
}...and that will prevent overwriting the null ("") value...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
Hi David,
I'm not quite sure how it works, but it most certainly does! Thanks a lot for that.
Cheers.

Ah, spoke too soon! It doesn't seem to be importing most of the records any more. Any ideas as to why?
Cheers.

Hi Keeop,
If $admin_importFeed["field_B"] is empty then it will be updating the null element of $record; which is why every field that has not been assigned a record will take on the value of $record["FIELDS/FIELD/VALUE@1"]. Assigning a separate value would be the best aproach in this case...
Cheers,
David.
