Advanced CSV Connector is an extension of classic Akeneo CSV Connector. It allows to customize columns mapping on import or export.

Made with 💙 by C&M

You can use php-lua package to update your values dynamically during import or export. For LUA scripts available functions and libraries have been limited for security reasons. You can use:

• string
• math
• ipairs
• load
• next
• pairs
• rawequal
• rawgetwget
• rawlen
• rawset
• select
• tonumber
• tostring
• type

This package is not a requirement. A classic PHP method can also be used.

Update your composer.json file to use our fork of Custom entity bundle in repositories node:

"repositories": [
        ...
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/ClickAndMortar/CustomEntityBundle"
        }
        ...
    ],

And add our bundle:

$ composer require "clickandmortar/advanced-csv-connector-bundle":"<version-wanted>.*"

Example for last version:

$ composer require "clickandmortar/advanced-csv-connector-bundle":"6.0.*"

Enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

<?php

return [
    // ...
    Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\PimCustomEntityBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    ClickAndMortar\AdvancedCsvConnectorBundle\ClickAndMortarAdvancedCsvConnectorBundle::class => ['all' => true]
];

Update your config/routes/routes.yml file:

pim_customentity:
        prefix: /reference-data
        resource: "@PimCustomEntityBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
        
candm_advanced_csv_connector:
    prefix: /candm-advanced-csv-connector
    resource: "@ClickAndMortarAdvancedCsvConnectorBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"

And finally clear cache and update database:

rm -rf var/cache/*
php bin/console --env=prod pim:installer:assets --symlink --clean
yarn run webpack
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

To create a new import mapping, go to Référenciel / Mappings d'import and click on Create top right button. You can add as many mapping lines as you want by clicking on Ajouter une ligne.

Some explanations for table columns:

• Attribut (mandatory): Attribute code in your Akeneo project (you can use suffixes like -fr_FR or -EUR for locales, channels, currencies, ...)
• Nom de la colonne (mandatory): Column name in your file to import
• Transformation: LUA script name or PHP method name to update value after mapping. Example: Uppercase, lowercase, ... (you can create a new LUA script under Référenciel / Scripts LUA).
• Valeur par défaut: Default value for attribute if empty data in file
• Identifiant (mandatory): Used to defined main identifier attribute of product
• Uniquement à la création: Set attribute value only if product is new (checked with identifier attribute)
• Effacer si null: Remove key from item mapping if value is null
• Supprimer: Click on this cell to delete mapping line

Once mapping is saved, go to Imports part and create a new job with type Import des produits avancé (CSV). After job creation, go to edition mode and update Mapping parameter in global parameters tab.

To create a new export mapping, go to Référenciel / Mappings d'export and click on Create top right button. You can add as many mapping lines as you want by clicking on Ajouter une ligne.

Some explanations for table columns:

• Attribut (mandatory): Attribute code in your Akeneo project (you can use suffixes like -fr_FR or -EUR for locales, channels, currencies, ...)
• Nom de la colonne (mandatory): Column name in your file to export
• Valeur forcée: Force a value (erase given attribute value from Akeneo)
• Transformation: LUA script name or PHP method name to update value after mapping. Example: Uppercase, lowercase, ... (you can create a new LUA script under Référenciel / Scripts LUA)
• Utiliser le libellé: Boolean to get the label associated to the code given (for attribute options or custom entities)
• Langue: Select a specific locale for the label to export (linked to Utiliser le libellé column)
• Longueur max.: Integer use to shorten attribute value if necessary
• Valeur par défaut: Default value for column if empty attribute value
• Supprimer: Click on this cell to delete mapping line

Once mapping is saved, go to Exports part and create a new job with type Export des produits avancé (CSV). After job creation, go to edition mode and update Mapping parameter in global parameters tab.
