Urgent: Bulk Sequenced Product Import/Export
Posted: Sat May 07, 2011 12:43 am
TL;DR
We are in need of a developer who can do the following:
- Modify JNeuhoff's product Import/Export tool so we can import over 38,000 products sequentially
OR
- Offer a better solution to fulfill our needs
The Problem
We need to be able to import a ton of products, about 38,000 currently with more possibly later on. Using the Import/Export tool is great but only works for about 7,000 products with our current memory constrictions before timing out. Splitting the file doesn't currently work because the module clears the DB before importing the new spreadsheet. We have tried many extensions with no luck and don't have the time or the staff to take care of this in house.
What we hope for
In theory just modifying the Import/Export extension to allow for a series of spreadsheets to be imported could solve this problem. We have a spreadsheet with all the products we need imported already created. It would be nice to have the store split the spreadsheet but it might be an issue with our memory constraints. So if we can split the file before we import and just check a box for "Import Another Spreadsheet" and it not overwrite the products that were just imported I think we would be good.
Can you help us?
Do you have a solution? Awesome, send me a PM and we can talk. We would really like to get this done as fast as possible.
Info
Currently we are running version OpenCart 1.4.9.1 with default extensions besides the Import/Export tool from JNeuhoff (http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... sion_id=17)
