Overview

JC Category Import/Export

This module allows you to import and export your categories with heiarchy. See example categories.csv file to view an example. The importer uses a faux_id column for creating new categories. Import Usage: See the categories.csv for example import usage. If you are creating new categories, make your default category in the admin area and then get the id for creating the new categories. When creating a new category, say you have the default category with a sub category of cat 1 and that has a sub of sub cat 2 EXAMPLE: Default Category ------Cat 1 ------------Sub Cat 2 your import would need to use the Default Category id for the parent_id of Cat 1 then you would take and put a number in the faux_id field for Cat 1 of say 100, then in the parent_id of the Sub Cat 2 field put f-100 in the field, this references the faux_id of the Cat 1 category and tells the importer that Cat 1 is the parent of Sub Cat 2. HINTS: If you are just re-ordering categories you do not need to use the faux_id column, you only need to use faux_id field if the category that will be a parent is a new category. Every new category has to have a faux_id otherwise you cannot use it as a parent in a new import. When using the faux_id # as a parent_id you must have the f- in front of the number example: f-100.
