Hi, I do this little script running it via cron job like:

00  0 * * *   root /var/www/html/magento/cron_refresh_cache.php >> /var/log/cron_refresh_cache.log

It refresh all magento caches periodically, optimizing it after other tasks, prices or image changes (I do it via automatized tasks too)

But with magento versions 1.3 and above the “Catalog Rewrite” section fails, and I don’t know why.

Please feel free to use try my script. I would appreciate any type of help on the commented error.

Regards!

Antonio

Hi,

Your import script is working great. So thank you for developing and providing that script. There is just one thing to mention: How to import manufacturers with that script. Is there any possibility to do so? As far as I can see, the eav_attribute entity for that purpose is 66.

Thanks for your comments, please refer the original post for import script at http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/35865/

As I write before, there’s possible to add any field or parameter. You only need to insert some like:

if ($write->fetchOne( "select * from $table where attribute_id=SOME and value_id=SOME") ) {
  $write->query("update $table set attribute_id=SOME and value_id=SOME and value=SOME");
} else {
  $write->query( "insert into $table (attribute_id, value_id, value) values (SOME, SOME, SOME)" );
}

Can you edit the source code and post it here? We would thank you wink

Regards!

Antonio

Hi amartinez,

Do you know if this script (Catalog Refresh) work on the latest 1.3.2.1?

I haven’t been able to get it to work. I seriously need to rebuild my search index. It won’t work manually in the admin because the global setting on my server has a connection timeout of 60. And I have 100,000 products on my site.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi!

I imported 5000 products fine last night.

I think that you need to do the cron job by direct run via ssh connect (like crontab) to avoid the php timeout.

I will talk you later…

Regards!

There’s the last version. It works fine with 1.3.2.2.

Hi,

I cant seem to get it to work. Could you please elaborate how to implement your code. Just pasting your code in a file and running that obviously doesn’t work.

I’ve created a file that gets called by the crontab, but it throws an error, could you please give me an example of a correct file?

Best Regards,

Paul Hachmang

Hi!

You must “paste” this function wherever you want:

- in cron_refresh_cache.php (previously uploaded to this wiki http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how_to_add_products_using_the_import/how_to_automatically_import_simple_grouped_and_configurable_products)

- in Productwith......php (refer to same wiki)

etc

Amartinez, Thanks for your reply.

The thing is that we are importing from a DBF (dbase file) file but that the layered navigation doesn’t function after the import. We know that running the Layered Navigation Indices does work (at least, when you run it, it does do something before it times out). Is it difficult to make the script as a stand-alone script that we can run using SSH?

Had the same issue. You have to change this snippet of code in the top of the script:

Mage::app('default');

to this:

Mage::app(Mage::app()->getStore());
