I have a bidding(phpprobid) site with categories and product. I've extracted the categories from the database table and put it in a csv file. I was wondering if I can insert those values (categories) into Magento's Database so that I don't have to create each categories one by one.
Is it possible to do so? If yes in which table do I have to insert and what other attributes I need to maintain ?
Thank you
chipShot's comment is the right direction. While you can insert them directly at the DB level, that tends to avoid important tables in Magento's EAV layout. You're better off writing an import using the framework or downloading someone else's module to the same effect.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe

But i don't know how I can do this, I have tried used to ignoring table but that's not working either.
Please let me know how should i proceed.
The following extension may help you.

Select these tables and export them; then import in the other DB. If you are not very good in MySql you can use GUI tools like MySQL Workbench.
The problem I'm having is that I import products with Magmi (magento product import open source solution), but I want to change the url slug. I need to know which table in magento database contains slug so that I could maybe feed it somehow directly...
I know this question is old and answer was accepted but for users do not using Magmi is there this answer:
URL Key is stored by EAV model.
You can find value by following query:
SELECT `attribute_id` INTO #urlKeyId
FROM `eav_attribute` WHERE `entity_type_id` = 4 AND `attribute_code` LIKE 'url_key';
SELECT * FROM `catalog_product_entity_varchar` WHERE `attribute_id` = #urlKeyId;
(if you are using table prefix add it to table's names)
The most excellent Magmi will do that for you. I suggest you read every single page of the Magmi instructions slowly and carefully to comprehend the enormous capabilities of this software tool. But the one you want to concentrate on is here.
So if you use a CSV like:
"sku","url_key"
"00085722994075","my-awesome-product-you-will-fail-without-it"
Then Magmi will update all the product 'slugs' for you.
To answer your question: The core_url_rewrite is the main table but it is built from, among other things, the product attribute 'url_key' and the product attributes are in the EAV so it isn't a single table update. That is why we bow to the genius of Dweeves and his magical Magmi code.
i think better idea to load product then update product URL otherwise if you try to do in direct database table. some problems can come out like indexing , magento can stop working.
i means how you do load MAGE class then load product then do this manually
I have taken over a Joomla project that needs rebuilding.
I need to get out the user data and some other data linked to users, I have found most of it in the jos_user table and also a table named jos_comprofiler.
There is data inside of jos_sobipro_field_data that I also need, but I do not know how this table related to anything else can someone please explain? I am able to write SQL and the JOIN statements to get it out once I understand how it all fits together.
Finally the table jos_comprofiler references an avatar which is an image name like '100_4f97c0b3c2c31.jpg' where can I find these images?
Thanks, Jake
I can tell you where those tables are coming from:
- jos_users is the user table used by Joomla core, together with jos_user_profiles for additional profile information.
- jos_comprofiler is a table created by the Community Builder extension from http://www.joomlapolis.com/.
- jos_sobipro_field_data is a table created by SobiPro from http://sobipro.sigsiu.net/
Maybe that helps you find the next steps. Maybe someone else knows more details.
I am using Joomla 2.5 and want to insert 100 articles without using Joomla's article manager.
How can I achieve this?
This is incomplete. You also would need to add records to the assets table and to make sure that they are properly keyed to the content table and nesting within a category asset as well as the com_content asset. You can put all of the articles in the uncategorised category to handle that however.
Well, if I wanted to add 100 articles as quickly as possible, I would take a backup of the #__content table in the database, open it in Notepad++, add all my articles in and re-upload the table.
If you do this, don't forget to assign each article a different ID.
I know EAV logic and I know what is eav_entity_attribute for. (about eav_entity_* - the same).
But I'm not clear about table eav_entity. It is always empty.
Could someone give some comments please.
I would be glad to get any assumption.
Google gives nothing on this question, as usual)
Doing a grep of the Community Edition code, the only time eav_entity is mentioned is in the config file (/app/core/code/Mage/Eav/etc/config.xml) and in the database setup files (/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/sql/eav_setup/mysql4-install-0.7.0.php).
To me this says that it was put in just before a release and then never actually used. The devs possibly decided to go with a slightly different way of storing the data...
I expected to see all records of all entities in the table eav_entity. But I see that Magento has created separate tables for each of the 8 entities ( customer, customer_address, category, product, order, invoice, shipment, creditmemo) with the following table names ( customer_entity, customer_address_entity, catalog_category_entity, catalog_product_entity, sales_flat_order, sales_flat_invoice, sales_flat_shipment, sales_flat_creditmemo). So eav_entity table is empty and you get data for entities directly from their respective tables.. Some level of de-EAVing the database design :-)
