I am using Amartinez Custom Import/export extension.
I am trying to insert to magento 1.6.2 a list of products through a .csv file. I can insert categories just fine, but the problem is that my products don't get added in the "Default category", only in the subcategories of the default category. I have searched as to where i can set that, but i havn't found anything yet.
I've tried adding the "Default category" in the csv, on a new row, and when i ran the cron, it said that a new category called "Default category" was created, but i can't see it anywhere in the categories, and the product is still in the same categories as before.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Check to see if Default Category is set to be an anchor, under Catalog > Manage Categories > Select Default Category and click the display settings tab...it's the third dropdown change it to yes.
Greetings from Itera Research,
I am happy to share reply from our Magento team lead.
Please check below,
add "category_ids" column to your CSV file and set "Default category" id to this column
you can lookup Default category id in admin > Catalog > Manage Categories
Happy to chat,

in the magento admin panel, if we go for Orders section
and if we click on one order, we can see the Product name and sku at the bottom.
i want to add 2 more attributes to the order section.
please help me to find solution.
thanks in advance.
Name and Sku attributes are added in the file app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\sales\items\column\name.phtml
So you need to make changes there to add any other product attribute.
I have added one attribute in magento admin panel. *eg.*attribute name = Manufacturer
Then I create a relation between Manufacture to Product using catalog_product_entity_int table in magento.
Then after i went on Adminpanel and try to edit product and there is Manufactuer Attibute is show selected in that product means attribute is properly bind with that product.
But then i went to catalog advance search in front end that product doesn't show up in list.
I also added that Manufacturer value text in catalogsearch_fulltext table by PIPE "|" seperated.
is there any thing missing.??
In the admin go to:
Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes
Search for your attribute and in "Frontend Properties" put "Use in Advanced Search" and "Use in Quick Search" in "Yes".
After that refresh all caches and reindex "Catalog Search Index".
Maybe it solves the problem.
Hope it helps.
When I view a category page (ie. url.com/category.html) the page shows the category title, description but no products. Doesn't seem to be loading them since I get this message "There are no products matching the selection."
The products are enabled, visible in catalog & search, have quantity and are in stock and product categories are listed under a root category called "Default Category". I have a featured products listed on the home page by category ID which display fine and individual product detail pages display as they should as well.
I have tried refreshing cache/indexes and searching Google all to no avail. I thought it may be an issue caused by a customization I made to the theme but switching to the default theme made no change so it would seem I must be missing something in the product or category configurations.
Possibly related? – searching always returns no results even if by product name
I am using magento ver 1.5.1
Please check following settings are done for your product
The products must be Visible in Catalog.
The products must be Enabled.
Product must have a stock Quantity.
The product must be set to In Stock.
If the product is set not to track stock, it still need to have a stock Quantity and be set to In Stock.
The product must be assigned to the target Category.
If using multi-website mode (or if you imported the products through Data Flow), the products must be assigned to the target Website.
You must refresh your “var/Cache” & rebuild all indexes from admin > system > index management
Hope this helps you.
Next time if you have same problem you can try two things:
1 - Reindex catalog and products
2 - Check user permissions
If you move your database from one server to another or you restore the database you might want to check the customer_group table. More specifically you should check the "NOT LOGGED IN" records and its ID, it should be "0" if it is not the products won't be visible for that group of users which is pretty much all users on most Magento shops.
How many attributes do you have? Too many attributes marked as "Visible on product listing page" can break the indexes. Are there records in the catalog_product_flat_* table(s)?
OK after I looked up the records and replaced my theme's list.phtml file with the default one (for about the 100th time) products started displaying. Not sure what changed but as long as they continue to display I'm happy.
I would like my store products to be displayed in SKU (ascending) order by default when looking at the category product listing pages. Can someone please tell me how to:
Make this the default sort option.
Add SKU as a user selectable option on the product listing pages.
Can anyone help please?
Cheers!
I hope this works the same for 1.4.0.1 as it does for 1.6.0.0 because it is really easy and you don't have to touch any code:
In the admin panel, go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes
Find the attribute labeled SKU
In it, under Frontend Properties, change the "Use for Sorting in Product Listing" to "Yes" and save
Go to System > Configuration and click on the Catalog section
Under Frontend, change the "Product Listing Sort by" to "SKU" and save
You can also change the default product listing for each category in Catalog > Manage Categories under the Display Settings tab of your selected category.
Having been around this issue a little, I found out that you can add SKU as an option in the Manage Attributes menu in Admin. Having done that, and then set it to be the default in System > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Product Listing Sort By.
It turns out that the company I hired to produce my website template had overridden the toolbar.php file, and there was a hardcoded list of order by options in there.
Commenting that list out (basically reverting that function back to the default template version) now shows up the SKU option in the list.
I next need to figure out how to make that be the default - something else I guess is over-riding that as it should be the default based on the settings I have in place now.
Thanks for all the help here.
Cheers,
Rob
See this question and answer Magento Category Product List Sort By Bestseller Options. Because sku is table column, you don't need extend setCollection() method.
I have gone to admin -> manage product -> product information page -> related products
Then I added a product that is related, and saved.
I went to that product and refreshed the page, but nothing changed. Why not?
Also, be sure to check that the product you're trying to see in 'Related Products' is not already in your cart. Magento has a default filter applied that removes items in the cart from the related products collection.
Solution:
Login to Admin
Go to System -> Index Management
Select All checkboxes
Select 'Reindex Data' from Actions selection list
Click Submit button
Reference: Magento Up-sells Cross-sells and Related products are not showing up
Related Products appear in product info page, in the right column.
Cross Sell items appear in the shopping cart.
Upsells for this product are items that your customers would ideally buy instead of the product they’re viewing.These appear on the product info page underneath the product description.
As a result, I understand that you would show products bottom of the product info page, you should choose upsells instead of related products.
If you want related products ( which I can misunderstanding you ) do following things :
Check related product status is enabled.
Check visibility status set "Catalog" or "Catalog Search"
If everything is fine, check the inventory of related products.Stock should be greater than 0.
Last thing, related products must be include a category. Click "categories" link to check and see if the product added in a category.
Click on the "Reset Filter" button on top of the related product listing. It will list all products in table. Or you can clear cache + reindex data.
I had the same issue. After some time ago, I found that the products are not made to be visible in the visibility section, and that the products are not set to be in any website.
Hope this is the answer, and should be, because if you set up everything right there is nothing that can make problems.
Make sure the product and related product are under the same website. This isn't apparent when adding the relating products.
One possible pitfall you can run into is that you use a template without a right column. In that case you have to use unsetChild and insert to move the related product block.
