I am using a large XML file to import products into my VirtueMart 3.0.2 store. I am using CSVI Pro 5.20.

I only want to import products from the XML file that are within categories that contain a specific keyword. I want to import all products that pertain to Apple. So if the product category is: Computers/Apple/iMac I want to import the product. If the category is Computers/PC/Samsung I want to ignore the product.

My XML file contains one category per product.

Is there a simple way to set this up?

There is no option in CSVI to filter products on import based on specific keywords. The only way to do that is to code it yourself with an override.
Kind regards,

Thank you Roland

I have had a look at the productimport.php file but it looks seriously complicated to me. I am not an experienced php programmer. I have very basic php skills.

This is indeed not a very easy task but it is the only way to do so. Or you filter your product list before import, that would be another way.

Filtering before importing would be a good option but the file is hosted on another server and the import will be triggered via cron every 24 hours.

In that case, filtering beforehand isn't practical either.
