Magento

Thanks srinigenie,

I appreciate your help with this posting codes.

I am just checking out the Custom Import/export, AMartinez_CustomImportExport. The set up is to be done the way you scripted the code, right?

Please tell me so I can test it out for my website.

Thanks so much!

Using Magento 1.7 and I have tried everything to get a data flow profile to work from cron. Runs without error but doesn’t update the item….

I have an import data profile setup pointing to a file in the import directory. I am able to get this file every hour just fine and run it manually through the profile without error and it updates the product. It is an inventory file from a drop shipper so I am only updating three fields of which I have mapped in the profile.

I have tried every script out there to get his to run as a cron job but none of them update the product. All I need to do is run the profile from a cron job using all of the settings in the profile, though I have tried with and without the settings in the profile and in the scripts. Been at this for two days now and I am at my wits end. Sad thing is I swear this was working yesterday.

I am guessing it has something to do with the profiles only designed to work from a popup, so in the end I guess I just need a way to process this csv file that requires mapped fields to run from cron or simply run the profile as is from cron.

@CaratCache have you managed to find a solution to the cron not updating the products in version 1.7?

I have the exact same issue, it works if you do it from the popup but not if you run it from a cron.

Thanks

I have the exact same issue with Magento 1.7 it works if you do it from the popup but not if you run it from a cron.
Have you resolved?

Magento 1.7.0.0 - Same Problem here!

If you are using curl and getting ajaxExpired error, change the url from index.php/admin/system_convert_profile/batchRun/?isAjax=true to
index.php/admin/admin/system_convert_profile/batchRun/?isAjax=true.

The difference is /admin/admin/
