Prestashop 1.4.0.17 CSV Import Problem

[bruce-rez]

I tried many times to import my csv file with 459 products in PrestaShop™ 1.4.0.17 without success and I get 918 error messages.
I've already imported exactly the same csv file without any problem in PrestaShop™ 1.4.0.9.
Is there any change or modification of csv Import in the PrestaShop™ 1.4.0.17 that I ignore?
Thank you for any help.

What errors are you getting? Is it an ERROR or a WARNING? Hard to help if we don't know whats going on

I have found that when importing, if you don't specify the tax group, or the URL-rewrite field, then Prestashop will do it for you and just give you a message like this:

# id_tax_rules_group (ID ) Invalid tax rule group ID, you first need a group with this ID.
# Rewrite link for Array (ID 200) was re-written as wrw-2556

Hope this helps!

Please see the screen shot of the error I get.

You have to check the field with the import tax. It is obviously not in the exact format that PS wants. Since 1.4 the format of this field has been changed. My old 1.3 fields also dont work anymore. Use only numbers and no % in this field

I removed the % sign and changed the tax format without result and I get the error message.

I had the same problem with id_tax_rules_group, invalid tax rule group ID.

The reason I was getting that error was because in my csv file, my first row had a column name at the top of every column. So for example, ID, Supplier, Name, Manufacturer etc. That was to help me know what column to type in.

So of course, when I came to import, Prestashop was trying to import that top row, and wasn't recognising the fields. So if you're doing the same as me, when you reach the "Import CSV" screen, at the top where it says Skip, type in 1.

Thanks for the reply.
I switched to 1.4 version and I don't use anymore 1.4.0.17 v.
In my case the problem was not the first row column name, because I skipped this line while importing.
Indeed while importing the csv file we have to skip the first line which is the column's name. We have to do this every time we import a csv file,whatever the Prestashop version.
Thanks.
