Scopes

The Pacemaker Import Community offers the possibility to import values for different scopes.

All scope specific values must get added on a separate row for each scope representing a store view

The column store_view_code must contains the appropriate Magento store view code and the column attribute_set_code must have a valid attribute set code.

Translatable values

Not all attributes per scope can contain different values.

  • All product attributes created with Store View scope can be translated.

  • To determine what attributes are associated with the scope 'Store View', open the Backend and navigate to the overview with the product attributes by clicking on the navigation path Stores  Attributes  Products.

  • Select the Store View filter and press enter.

products scopes 1

Most standard attributes have their column in the CSV file and can get combined into one row by adding the appropriate scope.

Except all attributes custom created in the backend or by a developer.

Examples

To find what columns are custom, use your favorite SQL editor and enter the following SQL statement
SELECT * FROM eav_attribute WHERE is_user_defined = 1;
products scopes 2

As a result, a list of all user-defined attributes gets displayed.

All user-defined attributes can be imported by adding the corresponding key-value pair to the additional_attributes column. It keeps the import as flexible as possible.

The following example shows the part of a CSV file with scope-specific values for the columns
  • name

  • description

  • test
