I am working on a client's site and need to export the products to a spreadsheet for editing. They are running version 1.5.6.4. I downloaded the compatible version of the Export/Import Tool and uploaded to the install according to the directions. The install must have worked because the 'tool/export' checkboxes were available in the User Group access and I in fact did check those boxes. But now I have combed over the entire admin and don't see an option anywhere to 'export'. Either I am a total idiot and cannot find where to go to perform the export, or the install perhaps did not get completed somehow. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This one works:
opencart-1-5-6-x-export-import-1-18.zip\
This one:
opencart-1-5-1-to-1-5-6-x-export-import-multilingual-2-23.zip\
probably misses a CONTROLLER File, when clicking it's (same Location placed )Admin Link, it tells me that no such Page exists...

Good Luck,
I could not test it because of insufficient memory allocation for my 15'000 Product Test DB, as informed on the txt-file, enclosed with the Mod.

I did use this one: opencart-1-5-6-x-export-import-1-18.zip that you are saying works. and it seemed to. but where do I go to actually perform the export? modules? catalog? I can't find it anywhere.

there is just a button, top right screen, where you can export the Data. I imagine, it then automatically call's the DB, collects the data and export's it. Unfortunately, since I my server configuration does not allow me to use memory, as needed for such a 'large' task, I cannot complete it, kind of. To import data, from the PC to the Server, one has to select a file, because of this, one has the file selection routine shown, but exporting data, nothing such is required.
At least, I understud it that way, but I did not check the files, to find our exactly, to be honest...

Trust me - I feel as dumb as you're trying to make me look - but I don't have that option!

But the checkboxes for the tool ARE in the user groups area... so it must be installed, right?

I always have ALL Fields enabled, so, I don't know, if 'one click-field only' in each Section only exists or more...
I spare no time for such minor details, usually ;D

1. Check, if your VqMd, related to this, is active, and produces no error.
2. Call: http://yoursite/shop/admin/index.php?ro ... ort&token=
PLUS: Add the Cookie-Admin Code, as written in your URL Addressline, such as: cv932447959cdc879fcf607359fc1a32
to make it look like:
http://yoursite/shop/admin/index.php?ro ... 7359fc1a32
and let me know, what you see.

Well holy crap that worked wonderfully! there's just no link to get to it from the admin which is extremely inconvenient! Thank you SO much for your help, stranger! You made my WEEK!

Must probably be the LINK in the export.xml -File:

Code: Select all

	<file name="admin/view/template/common/header.tpl">
		<operation>
			<search position="after"><![CDATA[<li><a href="<?php echo $backup; ?>"><?php echo $text_backup; ?></a></li>]]></search>
			<add><![CDATA[        <li><a href="<?php echo $export; ?>"><?php echo $text_export; ?></a></li>]]></add>
		</operation>
	</file> 
make sure, it finds EXACTLY this in your header.tpl:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $backup; ?>"><?php echo $text_backup; ?></a></li>
to add the Link correctly below that. OR THEN, remove the link from the VqMod and add it directly into the header.tpl, to make it work.

Anyway, it works... ;)

I wish this fixed the problem for me... I get a "You do not have permission to access this page, please refer to your system administrator." when I try to go to the export tool using the link format. User group settings all have permissions for this tool. I've logged in and out multiple times. The vqmod shows as active and no errors. What else could be wrong or is there another way to export the products from my site so I can import them into another site. The tool is also missing form the system menu as others seem to have that problem as well but I have not been able to find the permissions issue.

I am upgrading to OpenCArt 2.0 and have decided to start fresh due to all the issues my old site was having but I have over 400 products and would love to transfer them. Have changed the theme as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

i have figured out my problem

there is an xml file in the zip file you install extract the xml file and ftp load it to your xml folder on your webserver mine was located in vqmod/xml

then install the zip as directed in the text file

when u refresh the modules folder make sure u only refresh once it looks like nothing has happened but it has each time u refresh it will activate or deactivate the mod but it doesnt tell u if it is active or not but if it is active it will show in one of the tabs

this fixed my issue and im now using import / export and it works great thanks guys for developing it

hope this helps

Dear sir,
I tried the above, and placed the link directly in the header.tpl, but it is giving me that the variable is unknown
