Thread: ExtensionData in a category

What is the structure to add extension data to a category using WSI?

Code:

<Mappings AutoCleanup="boolean" PreserveExistingRecords="True">
<Entity EntityType="Category" XPath="/cat/cat-1" DisplayOrder="1" />
<Entity EntityType="Category" XPath="/cat/cat-2" DisplayOrder="1" />
<Entity EntityType="Category" XPath="/cat/cat-3" DisplayOrder="1" />

</Mappings>

Thanks

You won't be able to add extension data to the categories if the categories are being added via the XPath in a product mappings node (like the snippet you have posted here). However, you can later reference the category using the XPathLookup like you've specified in the product mappings

Code:

<Entity EntityType="Category" XPathLookup="/cat/cat-1" Action="Update">
  <ExtensionData>Your ExtensionData here...</ExtensionData>
</Entity>

or you can add when you create the entities outside of the products

Code:

<Entity EntityType="Category" Action="Add">
  <Name>Category Name</Name>
  ...
  ...
  <ExtensionData>Your ExtensionData here...</ExtensionData>
  ...
  ...
</Entity>

Perfect, thanks George.
