    Default Textfile-Import/Upload on Shop

    Hi Folks,

    Is there any way to upload a Textfile from the eShop frontend? In our old System, we were able to upload an easy txt or csv-File with some SKUs and Amounts that got added to the basket.

    Thanks,

    With kind regards,
    Michael

    You would have to custom code it.

    Would a quick order form not be better?
    esedirect has posted a load of code on how to make one!

    It is a really good bit of code, plus you can easily expand it as needed!

    Personally it sounds better than uploading a file, however this is up to you!

    That's a brilliant link you posted. Thank you e-tradecounter. In fact, that would have been my next project.

    But I will still need the textfileimport, because the customers have little barcodescanner with wich they can scan SKUs and Amounts. This function would then read the generated textfile and create the basket-items.

    C# has very good capabilities for reading excel and csv files, you would just have to make a custom page that uses the site skin.

    Also there is an upload option in the back office, you would be best looking at that code and working from there.

    Personally I don't like users of any kind uploading files, you could create a page like the quick order page that accepts the bar code reader values (unless this is impossible)

    You shouldn't have too many problems. I would create a custom aspx page and do all your code in the back using C# or VB for their functionality.

    I am trying to find the threads of creating custom pages to get you off on the right foot.

    Here is a post by Webopius on creating a custom page in ver 9
