Resolved J2Store change categories

Hello,
May i ask you which J2Store import you are using? Can you send us the import debug log and sample of your import file? Check How to get debug information? document to get the debug log.

Hi,

Was trying to use the J2Store product import.

CSV was exported with sku, alias, catid and title. Only the catid's were changed but we get duplicated rather than changed items. This happens regardless of whether the alias is included in the fields.

Hello,
I understand why you get duplicates. As you may be aware, J2Store products has a Joomla content associated with it. To update this Joomla content CSVI uses alias and catid field and not just alias. Since your catid field is different from what is in database, CSVI creates a new Joomla article and so a new J2Store product has been added.

If you are looking at updating only catid then you can use CSVI custom table import. In your custom table import template on Options tab set Custom table to be content and import based on field to be alias. You can then use alias and your new catid in your import file and update you catids. Let me know if that helps.
