Hello,
do you have a documentation with details for a Woocommerce PRODUCT import using/activating the “Advanced Layout Architect”?
Mandatory fields, posibilities or something?When I import products, the “Advanced Layout Architect” is disabled and I have to activate it manually. We´re using the WebToffee Import Export.
Hey donillo,
Thank you for your patience, I have not used the WebToffee Import Export plugin, but by default woocommerce products in Enfold are created using the WordPress editor, not the Advanced Layout Builder. So after import you may need to manually open them with the Advanced Layout Builder if you built them with that instead of the default builder.
I don’t believe that the WordPress xml file contains a builder field, which is the format for exports and I assume you plugin follows.Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
thanks for the answer. But how can I activate the Advanced Layout Builder in the database? Is there an SQL-flag? And how can I import products with activated Advanced Layoutbuilder. Do you have a recommendation for an import plugin?
Hi,
The only import we recommend is the WordPress import feature, we don’t have a way to activate the ALB builder, when you use the ALB WordPress activates it for the next time you edit the page. I guess you could examine your database to see what WordPress is doing, but we have no recommendations to do this automatically.Best regards,
MikeI cannot import 500 products and after that I have to set the advanced layout builder manually…. thats an insane idea…
If you, as the creator of the ALB, do not know how to activate it in the database, who should know…?Hi,
I am starting to think we are talking about different things, because pressing a blue button when you go to edit a page is not an issue.
So lets back up, woocommerce products do not use the Advanced Layout Builder by default, they use the WordPress editor, such as the classic editor.
This is the default view of a woocommerce product, it is not the Advanced Layout Builder.
If you use the Advanced Layout Builder to build a product you must manually create the layout with the product elements like this:
Now you can not import products and have the theme convert them into Advanced Layout Builder product pages, you wouls need to manually do this.
I think this is where your confusion is, if you import 500 products from another theme with woocommerce then you will be using the same classic editor, or block editor that you used before.
If you are importing 500 product from a Enfold theme where you manually created each product with the Advanced Layout Builder using the ALB elements, then you would simply press the blue ALB button at the top of the page.Best regards,
MikeWe want to import new or updated products out of a PIM (Product Information System). The whole product updating and creation takes place in the PIM and every night there should be an automatic import in WordPress. So this is the reason we need the Avanced Layout Builder automatically activated.
Is it clearer now what the requirement of us is?
Hi,
Sorry, I don’t know what a PIM (Product Information System) is, but it sounds like a database of products with their prices and other info in a woocommerce format.
Is this correct?
And when you import it fills in the woocommerce tables in the database?
If so then it doesn’t make sense that you want to use the ALB because the products are not using the ALB elements, the theme will not automatically convert the products and the import doesn’t include the builder element used.
Please see my previous post, I believe you are misunderstanding the difference between the WordPress editor and the Advanced Layout Builder.Best regards,
MikeHi,
A PIM is a system with the plain product data (only text and structured data). We create the Woocommerce format via an importer. And that is the reason why we need the advanced layout editor.
But I realized that I can activate the ABL via database. For example:UPDATEos5a4_postmetaSETmeta_value= 'active' WHEREos5a4_postmeta.meta_id= 5670;
