Import/Export: No sorting on first level groups

Posted on 22/02/2010 22:00:17

Hi,

When importing groups in level 1 using following xml element, the SortOrder seems to be ignored:

****
<Shop>
<ID>SHOP1</ID>
<SortOrder>1</SortOrder>
</Shop>
****

as ShopGroupRelationsSorting is still 0 in the table EcomShopGroupRelation.

The sortorder should be ok according to the schema:


<xs:element name="Shop" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:all>
       <xs:element name="ID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
       <xs:element name="SortOrder" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
     </xs:all>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

If the sorting is manually changed in backend and exported back into XML the value is set.

Am I doing anything wrong?

PS. Sorting groups on level 2 or more (subgroups) works as expected

Sincerely,
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

A workaround could be that you hardcode a "static" placeholder group, which serves as a new level 0 in our shop.
That way you can use ParentGroups to handle sorting.

In you XSLT you can code a logic that if a group has no parent, you insert something like the below.

    <ParentGroups>
      <ParentGroup>
        <ID>GROUP1</ID>
        <SortOrder>{OUR SORT ORDER}</SortOrder>
      </ParentGroup>
    </ParentGroups>

I've done something like that before, and it works great :-)

It's also nice the have your real shop groups and your other static groups like Search, Top products and so worth seperated.
