Hello,

I'm a new user of csvi and I'm searching a solution to have link on product in my export, it will be easier for clients to clic on a link and buy the product.
Is it possible and if yes where is the option ?

Thx for answers and have a nice day

Hello Eric,
Try exporting field product_url, this field will export current product url from your site. Let me know if that is what you are looking for.

Kind regards,

Hello Tharuna,

Yes this what I want and it works but the link is on text only and clickable, is there a way to set it in a hypertext value ?

Hello,
There are two ways i can think of, first option is you can try writing rules for adding hyperlink to product_url field using regular expression. The replacements document will explain on how you can create and set a rule. But I am not sure how much this would work as i haven't tried it.

Second option is you can create a override routine for product export and in the override file you can write your own custom code for product_url field so it is wrapped with hyperlink tags.

Let me know if it helps.

Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello,

You cannot make links work in a CSV file as the CSV format is a flat file and has no notion of HTML tags. The only way would be if you export your file as HTML file instead of CSV.

As a simple example, create a link in a spreadsheet and save it as CSV, see what the result is.

Hello,

May be one day we will be able to export on XLS format....

Support

Hello,

We are not planning any native XLS support however I think that Excel can open HTML files, so perhaps you could use that as an alternative. I haven't tried it but it might be possible.

Kind regards,
