Hello,
I need to add a lot of filter names for the opencart filter. It is not possible to add them one by one. I tried from the database tables but it did not work (My experience is limited). What can you suggest?
Thanks

You need to give a lot more detail than this: Forum Rules.

What table did you modify?

1. "ditto above" please follow the forum rules before posting.

2. Dont modify database tables directly unless you know exactly what you are doing - you will cause all sorts of issues.

3. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... sion_id=17

You should not modify core files .. if you would like to donate a cup of coffee I will write it in a modification for you.

Hello
First of all, Sorry I skipped the forum rules because I don't log in very often.
OC : 3.0.3.8
Theme : Journal
Status : Under construction
Installed Plugin : Default Excel import / export only
I tried new filter names with Excel import, it didn't work.
Database tables I tried;
- oc_filter
- oc_filter_description
I think the All import plugin will be needed. I asked if it could be done without the plugin.

What default import/export?
If you mean the restore - dont use that either - use CPanel / phpadmin. The built in one is not very good.

Theoretically yes, practically not a good idea.

The answer
You are guessing and we know and STILL we dont directly modify the database unless absolutely necessary .. it is never a good idea.

and no problem re forum rules - thanks for adding them. We just remind you as it make a difference in many cases.
For example: Whether your theme filters work as default you will have to ask your theme developers

Yes, the Export/Import tool could be used to import filter definitions.

However, if yours is a new site, why do you use an outdated OpenCart version? For a new live site, we suggest using OC 3.0.4.1. Also, we strongly recommend using a standard-compliant web theme, not the Journal3 framework!]

Excel Export/Import plugin works. I didn't notice the Filter import-export option.
As for Journal,
I bought and used a different licensed theme, the result was not good. I was curious about why this theme was so popular and whether it could make a difference, and I wanted to try it. Because competitors are using it

Thanks all
