Resolved Existing Virtuemart Slug is not updated

Hello Paul,

Post the information requested at the top of the page under Looking for a useful answer so I can check what is going on. Just make sure you have not set the Recreate alias to Yes in your template.

Hi Roland,

Sorry I don't understand you remark post in "Looking for a useful answer"!
Concerning the alias/slug, you mention "Recreate alias to Yes in your template". I am using 6.3.0 and Vm 3.0.10 and I can't find this option you mention. Not within the template and not with the template fields.

Hello Paul,

Sorry I don't understand you remark post in "Looking for a useful answer"!

If you scroll to the top of this page you will find some text that starts with "Looking for a useful answer". This explains the information that you need to post in order for me to be able to help you. The bare minimum I need the debug log and a sample of your import file.

I can't find this option you mention.

In that case I don't think you changed it It is on the Options tab when you click on the Advanced button.

Found it
With advanced I only saw the "limit" tab on and off!
Thx for your fast response.

The automatic recreate of alias works fine.
But with 3 fields, SKU, name and slug, selected in my template I expected to able to use my own alias.
But not to worry.

You should be able to use your own slug, that is why I am asking for the debug log and sample of the import file to see what happens in your case.

Here is the log and part of import file

Hello,

Thanks for that, it has helped. So I see that your slug is indeed being used as set in the CSV file except for the last 2 products because they have the same slug and that is impossible. It would be the same as saying this 1 URL goes to 2 different products, simply impossible

The slugs needs to be unique, if you keep them unique your slugs will be used. This is the first product from the debug log:
