I’ve been trying to import some products from a really big .csv file.
The file itself is about 15Mb, with attributes containing lots of plain text.

I’ve found out smaller lines are processed fine and heavier ones aren’t.
The threshold is about 10kb per line (though, not totally sure about it).

I’ve made some experiments:
1) when I add some arbitrary text to smaller lines, that were processed fine before, they stop being imported;
2) no matter where I delete text from the line, it’s imported fine only if its size is less than that certain limit: I can delete a couple of attributes, or some text from every attribute—it works fine anyway.
3) adding tons of text via web interface works perfectly, so that’s not a problem with magento itself, but with a way it handles importing;

I’m trying Magento and I’m stuck in the installation of two issues simultaneously. Basically I have to create an ecommerce that has some products on a theme and others on another theme.
I installed the first theme by Configuration -> Design, but now I do not know how to install the second: (

Besides this, we would set 3 languages for each theme.

Someone can explain the procedure?

The website i am building is for diamond blades and cutting tools…

Basically I want to make something on the homepage that simply asks what material they’re cutting and what tool they’re using and filters the results with the attributes attached to the products…

I have made an image and placed it on my site for an example of what i want to make… you can see it on the top left here

Would you need ajax for this or would just javascript be needed… i never had to make something like this before… Any help is greatly appreciated

I’ve got an attribute set up as frontend_input   checkbox

When I load up that object in the admin area, the checkbox doesn’t load up checked if it was saved in the checked state.

Anybody else running into this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Sorry if this has previously been answered but after an extensive search I can’t find it.

I currently use the following settings:

In Admin – Prices are input excluding VAT (to make it easier to change if the Govt choose to change VAT again) – with the box checked to advise that the goods are taxable.

On the Web – Prices are shown including VAT

I want to export my products to Google Base including VAT – at the moment it is sending the price excluding VAT and as such is giving the customer a false impression of the price…

I read somewhere that someone had to ‘hack’ the core files – but I’m not sure how to do this or even if this is required.

You can add Categories so that they are not under the Default Category. They will be at the same level as Default. However, only Categories under Default will automatically appear in the Navigation Menu. If a Category is not under Default, you will need to create some other way for your customers to get to that Category.

Do you know how to get to that Category?

Is there a way to let every store use the same increment number for orders/invoices/packing slips etc. Magento now creates per store a new increment but I just want to have a global increment which will be used for every store inside my magento installation.

I couldn’t find anything about this on the web so far.
