Hi David,
I have one merchant who doesn't provide product brand information, instead they provide a numerical code like 4486803718255 for each product.
On my Brands page I have 1,000's of these useless codes ({link saved}). Is there a way to remove them as they don't serve any purpose?
Thanks.
Hi David, thanks for your suggestions.
I had already tried your first idea "Select field...", as I use individual feeds. Unfortunately the script doesn't seem to allow this and won't import anything. Only if I choose the "brand" field in my feed will it import.
Can it be done by adding a filter for that merchant?
Thanks
Hi,
Sure - an "Unset" filter to clear down the value of any field is no problem - here's the code to add to includes/filter.php...
/*************************************************/
/* unset */
/*************************************************/
$filter_names["unset"] = "Unset";
function filter_unsetConfigure($filter_data)
{
print "<p>There are no additional configuration parameters for this filter.</p>";
}
function filter_unsetValidate($filter_data)
{
}
function filter_unsetExec($filter_data,$text)
{
return "";
}Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Hi,
If you are using individual feeds for each merchant don't forget that you could just re-register the feed for this merchant and don't register a field for the Brand - if the field has auto-detected on Feed Registration Step 2 you can changed the drop down back to "Select field..." when re-registering so that brand is not imported.
Otherwise for a multi-merchant feed, it's probably easiest as a simple mod to includes/admin.php - search for the following comment (common to all distributions)
/* check product record for minimum required fields */...and immediately before that line, add:
if ($importRecord["merchant"]=="Merchant Name"){
$importRecord["brand"] = "";
}
Edit Merchant Name as the exact merchant name as it appears on the site and re-import to remove brand IDs in this case...
Cheers,
David.
