Prestashop Create Categories or select main and parent?

[musti4300]

 

Hi

 

I'm a new programmer and not having a good skills. So  how can i select above categories based on products from csv and if categories not existing i can create it`?. The main problem is, selecting parent categories. which have same name

eg look at cases->cases->cases

Accessereis->cases->cases

 

How does the code looks like, also selecting it, and adding it,  if it doesn't exist.

Please can you help me?

PrestaShop doesn't support importing categories by name when there are duplicate category names. You'll need to manually create a category CSV file that gives each category an ID, then you must use the category IDs instead of category names to import the products. You should put all the product's associated category IDs in a single column separated by commas. For example, the following for the category CSV:

 

ID;Name;Parent category

3;Accessories;2

4;Cases;2

 

and the following for the product CSV:

 

ID;Name;Categories (x,y,z...)

1;product1;3,4

 

You may add more columns than this though.
