How to import external links in Magento 1.9? - magento

I import my products with MAGMI. In the description field, I imported a external link : <(with no space)a href="http://xxxxxxx.xx" target="_blank>Linkname<(with no space)/a>
On my first Magento 1.9 installation everything was working perfect. But now I have a curious problem.
In the description (html sight) the link is insert perfect. If I click on the link in front end I get something like this:
mymagentobaseurl.de/"http://xxxxxxx.xx"
I can't remember what I have done different to my first Magento installation.
The CSV is the same, the MAGMI settings are the same.
Have somebody a hint or a solution for me ?

It was a Excel issue ! I think I use LibreOffice in furture.
Can be closed !

Magento Connect not working (shows magento installation)

There is a strage problem in my website's magento connect feature. Whenever I will click on Magento Connect, it will show me the installation page of magento.
The url is something like this
http://www.mystore.com/downloader/?return=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.saletab.com%2Findex.php%2Fadmin_panel%2F
Is this because someone changed core file? Or because I am ruining magento 1.7 and 1.8 is released?
Please note that another instance, of the EXACT same code and database works fine when I click on magento connect, but not this one.
Please tell me how to resolve this problem?
first you need to check your file directory , there is 1 folder " downloader " if this folder is rename then please set name that i mention in quote , and if not available then please download fresh magento and copy that folder to in your file directory.

Magento 1.7 WYSIWYG

I have a problem with magento 1.7 (WYSIWYG).
My problem is that I can't have a proper description of the product when I use the WYSIWYG.
For example if I write in the WYSIWYG my product description, on site web site I will have a presentation which isn't the same.
The WYSIWYG puts html tags for each line return.
Thank you for your help
I've found in the past that with some themes the description is run through the nl2br function first. This will replace all new lines with <br> tags. Look in your view.phtml template file for this and remove the nl2br function.
It could be that you have custom css on the front causing it to appair different, view source both the admin (WYSIWYG) and on the website to see if the html are the same. If they are the same then check your custom css
In the file description.phtml in the template/easytabs folder, I removed the nl2br.
And then it works fine.

Fishpig's Magento WP Integration -- WP not using Magento Theme/Package

I've successfully installed Fishpig's Magento WordPress Integration extension. I followed the instructions where you install via Magento Connect and had no problems. This is by the way all on the development server which does not have Caching or Compiling enabled.
The Magento cart is installed in the webroot directory and WordPress is in subdirectory "wp" as stated in Fishpig's instructions. The Full Integration blog path is /blog.
PROBLEM:
When I visit the blog's page it is not using the Magento theme. I even set it to use the same layout (same as CMS's homepage) We have a custom Magento theme. Maybe there is something we are doing incorrectly Magento theme wise for Fishpig's extension not to work. Screenshots to come eventually but the host (DataGram) is down due to the flooding Downtown. Should be back hopefully today.
To clarify... WordPress is using its own database. In the Shop's admin panel->WordPress tab I setup Full Integration and set the path to "wp" and the blog path is blog.
So, now if I visit for example... example.com you are in the shop and if you visit example.com/blog you are in the fully integrated blog.
Bottom line is it seems to be configured fine in the admin panel. I am not requesting the blog page from the wp directory (I.E: example.com/wp) but from the fully integrated page (example.com/blog).
Our problem could be similar to what this person is experiencing:
Magento - FishPig Integration - Not getting correct template for /blog
Have a great weekend all!

Huzzah looks like I got things working :-)
The culprit was that this file:
"app/design/frontend/default/eboost/layout/wordpress.xml"
^^ was pointing to the wrong template filename. Corrected and was good to go. Modified line was number 66.
Funny thing is that on the top of that XML file it states:
"
Option 1 - local.xml (recommended)
Create a file named local.xml in your custom theme's layout folder. You can then make changes to the layout there by
using the relevant layout handle. This allows you to leave this file intact and recieve new features
when upgrading the extension.
Option 2 - copy this file
Copy this file and it's contents to a new file in your custom theme's layout folder named wordpress.xml.
Each time you upgrade, you will need to check with your copy of the file and
the copy in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/wordpress.xml for changes and merge any you find"
Now, as stated in my Original Posting I installed FishPig extension using their instructions: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
^^ Therefore I don't know why it is setup using Option 2. That wordpress.xml is in our theme's layout directory.

I feel I should also state the other changes I did even though it doesn't seem like it contributed to making it work. Just doing for completeness:
-- Renamed the subdirectory /wp to /wordpress and changed all references to dev.eboost.com/wp to dev.eboost.com/wordpress within the DataBase using http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
-- Removed .htaccess from /wordpress folder
So bottom line is looks like it is working normally. We are now set for working on redesign for site.

Have a look at this.

I also used Fishpig and it is working.
What do you mean by visiting the blog page? Do you request the blog page from the wordpress directory?
If so, it doesn't change its design.
You have to request the blog within your shop.

importing products with magmi

I've tried to import some products with Magmi,after that,I couldn't find customer options that I've already had.
Even sku,name,description,price,Size:drop_down:1
T-Shirt1,T-Shirt,A T-Shirt,5.00,Small:fixed:0:-SM|Medium:percent:2:-MED|Large:percent:3:-LRG
T-Shirt2,T-Shirt2,Another T-Shirt,6.00,XS:fixed:0:-XS:1|S:fixed:0:-S:2|M:fixed:1:-M:3
Is there something I haven't done?
Should I click the plugins? Which one should I click?
And in my file(var/import),I have many csv files,but when I choose them and run.It will throw like 'csv not found'. What's the matter with it?
My Magento version is 1.4.1.1 , Magmi version is 0.7.17a.
The problem is the path that the file is reading the CSV. When you open the error look the path that's looking for the file and change the properties for having it correct.
In the CSV base directory on the magmi UI, try changing var/import to /var/import

Invalid column names for a Magento product import

I'm trying to upgrade from Magento Community to Magento Enterprise. I've got each installed seperately. I did a direct export of product from my Community installation and have attempted to directly import this to Enterprise.
Initially, the error I was received was
'csv' file extension is not supported
I did the following according to a reply on a forum post from someone with a similar problem:
Disable the Magento Compiler under System > Tools > Compilation
However, the next Validation Error I encountered was this:
Column names: "_root_category", "_group_price_website", "_group_price_customer_group", "_group_price_price", "_media_attribute_id", "_media_image", "_media_lable", "_media_position", "_media_is_disabled" are invalid
I've done zero editing to the product CSV Magento provided me. I duplicated it, opened up the file and have found zero problems and zero duplicated columns.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next, any suggestions?
Sample CSV
Link: - Google Docs Preview
Link - Google Drive Download
Open in a text editor and save as UTF-8 encoding
Make sure you are using Import/Export > Import rather than the deprecated Dataflow method of import
