As we are only on our 230th item with thousands to go, I'd like to know how I can add the "Clone" link to an item I just finished adding details to, rather then click on "modify item," then finding the item I just entered, then clicking on "clone." It would be a time saver as most products I'm entering are almost a replica of the next, which is why I love the clone feature, I don't have to re-enter options, colors, etc. (i.e. same category, etc.). It could be at the very bottom of the details page of an item. Thank you.

skin1/main/product_modify_message.tpl add this at the top:

{*** Force back to modify other products ***}
{literal}
<script>
history.go(-2);
</script>
{/literal}
{*** Force back to modify other products ***}

with so many products you would be as well to create a spreadsheet and use the import products feature

How is that done?

[shan]

best way to do it is first use the export products option and this will give you a good template to work on.

open this in exel and do the reverse to import it.

try with a few products untill you get the hang of it.

I find tab delimited files work best and also choose to add the column headers

Good stuff, I'll try it. I still have a couple hundret products to add to my store (with almost a thousand already added).

Thank you very much shan, I will definitely be looking into that. And thanks BOOMER as well, I'll be doing that too.

Hey BOOMER, that didn't work for me (3.4., although thank you for the effort. When I tried to modify a product, it would take me back to a blank search screen and when I tried to add a product from scratch, it would log me out. Any ideas?
