Resolved Import VM products Customers fields only update

Hello,

Is there a way to update the feilds ( shopper_group_name in the template customer info) and manufacturer_name in the template products, not add new relation but only update (replace existing value)?

You cannot update or replace the existing values of manufacturer but you can add a new relation and delete the old one. For product, import the product_sku with manufacturer_name, the new manufacturer name will be added to the product then you can delete the manufacturer name already assigned by doing an manufacturer import with manufacturer_delete field set to Y. For shopper_group_name it is possible only to add a new relation but not update the existing one and we dont have any way to delete shopper_group_name other than removing it from virtuemart page.

In the CSVI 5 updated relations in the manufacturer and the shopper group. Can I change a php file to change this functionality? (I could change the calc.php to update the calculations rules only by calculation name it is working). I have a product with name
<producttest> which has a manufacturer <manufacturertest1> and I import a file with <producttest> which has <manufacturertest2>, now the system update the product to manufacturer relations (manufacturertest1,manufacturertest2) but I want to update the product to manufacturer relation only (manufacturertest2).

Hello,

The override functionality is coming in our next CSVI 6.6.0release but you can try the patch as explained in the post here.

I have a product with name
<producttest> which has a manufacturer <manufacturertest1> and I import a file with <producttest> which has <manufacturertest2>, now the system update the product to manufacturer relations (manufacturertest1,manufacturertest2) but I want to update the product to manufacturer relation only (manufacturertest2).

That is what i explained in my previous post. You cannot update the product to manufacturer relations but create a new relation of product with manufacturertest2 and you can delete old manufacturertest1 relation by doing manufacturer import having field manufacturer_delete value to Y in your import file. This will delete the manufacturer manufacturertest1 and also the relation with product.

Hello,
I just remembered something, you can try doing a custom table import to #__virtuemart_product_manufacturers table to update the virtuemart_manufacturer_id for a product but you need to know the virtuemart_product_id and virtuemart_manufacturer_id to do the import. Let me know if this helps.
