Resolved Problem to import products children

Hello,

Rather than telling me it doesn't work, tell me what you have done so we have something to work with. Which custom field are you using for the size and color?

Hello,
Sorry. I have not expressed well.

What I meant is that not very well as I should. I have seen tutorials on your site, but although I have tried various methods, I have not succeeded.

What would be the correct way?

They are t-shirt where I want to group in each model all variations of color and size of each.

I have seen the option of Multi variant is not available in the version you have installed.

It's better with the method of Custom Fields For All for Virtuemart?

Thank you very much

Regards

I forgot to mention that every variation of color and size is a different product, ie, has to be the stock of each.

So I thought that the best option is to generate as many children as product size and color variations within each model.

Hello,

I believe you are going around this the wrong way. Rather than asking how CSVI works for this, you should first decide how you want to manage your products in VirtueMart. There are different ways you can manage products in VirtueMart but I am not here to give VirtueMart support.

VirtueMart has the Multi Variants, Patterns and Generic child variants. Once you decided which one you are going to use we can look at how CSVI can help you to get them all imported.

Hello,
the way how I want to manage the parent and child products is by Multivariants.

I can do it with CSVI version that I have installed?

I tried and I failed

Hello,

To import multivariants you will need to use CSVI 6 beta 5, because Multivariants are not available in CSVI 5. You can see that also in the tutorial Importing multi-variant custom field.

Hello,

I tried different ways.

This I think should be correct, but I have not succeeded.

The Field Custom Size (Talla) is set to String.

Importation of products made, but does not include such items children.

I may be missing something else to do.

Sending a file product with parents and other child products.

Thank you very much

Hello,

If you are importing multi-variants, your file is incorrect. To import basic parent-child products the custom_title and custom_value fields need different values. The parent product needs the field custom_title with the name of the custom field you created. This must be a custom field of the type Generic Child Variant. The parent product also needs a custom_value with a value of product_sku. Your child products don't need any data in these fields.

To add the Talla field, since it ia just a string, you can go to Available Fields in CSVI and click on Update, so CSVI knows this field exists. You can then add this field to your import file with the value you want it to be.

I have added a cleaned up example file for you. You will need to make a custom field first called Generic Child Variant of the type Generic Child Variant, otherwise it won't work.

Hi Rolandd,

Thank you very much for your help. It has been very useful.

He has worked perfectly. Only by doing so, each parent has many options to choose, and each option only has a size and a color, which corresponds to that product specifically child.

I tried this other way, (I send file).
Not if it's the right way.
So I get a single product have all size and color options. Lose the option to control the stock.

What you fail me, it would make all the images in each row are incorporated as additional images of the same product.
Is there any way to do this without going all images to the same row of excel? Example: imagen1 | imagen2 ....

Thank you very much

I am not fully understanding what you are saying, do you mean it is OK like that?

The file you attached is not going to work with the same SKU multiple times and different values for the custom_value. What you probably need to do is, create 1 product in VirtueMart as you would like it to be, export that product and compare it against your file. So you can update your file as it needs to be.

Yes, you can specify multiple images per product by separating them with the |-symbol.

Hello Rolandd

If I set as the file you sent me excel in the front-end presents me with a choice of variant and each variant shows me the sizes available in this version. Which is correct. (image option1)

With the optional excel file I sent you in the front-end is presented to me that I can select the size and color. But it's always the same producto_sku.
There are no child-products. (image option2)

Are the two ways we've got do it, but not if the second I can cause problems.

Thank you very much

Hello,

Let's backup for a moment. Your question is how to get different sizes and colors and each combination of size and color is a child product. Correct?

If that is what you are looking for, you should create one such product manually in VirtueMart until it works as you want. Then we can look at how you can export and import all products with CSVI.
