This weekend, I build out an improved Excel Import process that supports updating products in addition to creating new ones. I match based on product name and SKU and support updating multiple variants under each product. This involved making changes to the business layer, data layer and adding some stored procedures. I didn't want to modify the UI so I put a flag in the input Excel spreadsheet to use this new process instead of the native import.
This isn't a self-contained module--it modifies several key files in nopCommerce that will have to be merged back in after an upgrade. If anyone is intersted in this code, I can share it but I cannot provide support for it. Ideally, this would be incorporated back into nopCommerce (with the UI enhancements to eliminate my Excel schema detection hack).
Where can I find this module. I was just about to leave a commment for a suggestion for this. If you could please email it to me or post it for download please. Thanks you for your contribution!
I wouldn't use the word 'module' for what I wrote, since it touches the data tier and business tier objects. It has some drawbacks but works. I'm on a crunch to get this site live in the next few days, but give me the weekend and I'll zip it up with some rudementary instructions.
