Debug Log Attached

Hi, I am having two issues when importing my XML to tranfer some products to virtuemart.

First of all, the description is not included in the products and I noticed that if I use plain text instead of the tags I already have (<p>,<div>,<span>,<strong>, etc.), everything is fine. Isn't there any way to import everything in the description? I have nearly 2000 products and they all have very big descriptions with tags...

My other problem is that I have final and discounted price in my XML. What I would like you to tell me is what are the variables for the virtuemart's cost price and final price and what is the variable for the "calculate the cost price" checkbox. I need to import the final price with the button's default state checked so it will calculate the base price by subtracting the VAT tax everytime it saves an imported product.

Thanks in advance. com_csvi.log.21.zip

Hello,
First of all, the description is not included in the products and I noticed that if I use plain text instead of the tags I already have (<p>,<div>,<span>,<strong>, etc.), everything is fine. Isn't there any way to import everything in the description? I have nearly 2000 products and they all have very big descriptions with tags...

The tags looks like node under description but not as real HTML tags and so your description is not imported. You can check your XML file in CSVI analyser to see the sub nodes under description. One way is you can combine all these nodes by adding combine template field and use combine rule to import it into product description.

My other problem is that I have final and discounted price in my XML. What I would like you to tell me is what are the variables for the virtuemart's cost price and final price and what is the variable for the "calculate the cost price" checkbox. I need to import the final price with the button's default state checked so it will calculate the base price by subtracting the VAT tax everytime it saves an imported product.

VirtuMart calculates final price on the view, the base price is stored in product_price field and the tax is stored in the form of id in product_tax_id. VirtueMart calculates the final price using product_price and product_tax_id fields. There is actually no field in database to store final price. Also, there is one more field CSVI supports which is product_tax with which corresponding product_tax_id is found and entered in database.
Kind regards,

Tharuna
