Hello Rolland and Tharuna,

we are now on final with our project and meanwhile we have a better understanding of CSVI.

At this point we need to say: Great component and really excellent support!

Currently we have only a problem with "product_override_price" handling:

We made an export template "Produkte EXPORT Test" in CSVI. All fields are delivered correctly to the XML exept the "product_override_price" field if it's empty. The value of the field is "0.00000".
When import the products with this value, CSVI generates the override price with value 0 AND sets the "override" field to 1 (Overwrite final). The result is, you get a product with 100% discount. Re-importing with the correct values will fail as described below.

OK, we solved it with a rule which strips the ".00000" during export. I think, it's a workaround, surely you have a better solution ;-)

When making import with override price 0, override field is set to 0 (Disabled) - that's fine!

Next case:
Making import with override price e.g. 5.70 works fine - price is set correctly, override field is automaticly set to 1 (Overwrite final). So far so good, however if we want "Overwrite price to be taxed"?

Next step: Changing the override price to another value except 0 e.g 4.50 works the same way as above - OK

Next step: If you want to disable override price doesn't work! Changing the override price to 0 in XML will have no effect. After imprt with value 0 the last value, in this case 4.50 remains and override field remains on 1. Setting both "product_override_price" and "override" field in XML to 0 has no effect too!

Same issues coming up when trying a price import template.

Pleas check it at beta.winzersekt.de, template names are "Produkte EXPORT Test", "Produkte EXPORT Test", "Price Export" and "Price IMPORT". An example export/import file is attached for product sku 3154 in category test.

Other questions:
Is there any way to assign certain calculation rules to the products instead assigning products to a hiden category with a rule?

How to use or setup a correct XML layout for this templates?

Kind regards,

Teresa

Hello Teresa,

Would appreciate if you can give us a review on Joomla extension directory :)

You need to have override value as N instead of 0 in your import file and product_override_price is actually not required in import file as when override is set to N, CSVI will disabled the override and there is no harm with product_override_price even with a value.

Same issues coming up when trying a price import template.

Its the same procedure for price import template too, Please set override to N instead of 0 and try the import.

As much as i know VirtueMart assigns calculation rule to all products when there is no category limit is set. Please have a look at Calculation rule document for the same. If this not clear enough please provide us a description with an example to understand on what you are trying to achieve.
Kind regards,

Tharuna
