Question

I have a CSV product list with about 13000 SKUs and I’m using MAGMI to manage it.

If I run MAGMI in UPDATE mode, it will only update existing products and skip new ones, exiting with (example) “info:Skus imported OK:21/21″…

Is there a way to know WHICH products were updated?

I feel a bit lazy about going through the code, so please have patience on me for this one…

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Just create a basic plugin that outputs the log for each item in the Magmi Log.

1) Create file in magmi root plugins/extra/itemprocessors/basicitemlogger/basicitemlogger.php

2) Open the file and paste in the following

<?php
/**
 * Class BasicItemLogger
 * @author Axertion
 *
 * Returns basic SKU for item in the Magmi output log.
*/ 
class Magmi_BasicItemLogger extends Magmi_ItemProcessor
{


    public function getPluginInfo()
    {
        return array(
            "name" => "Basic Item Logger",
            "author" => "Axertion",
            "version" => "0.0.1",
            "url"=> "http://axertion.com"
        );
    }
    static public function getCategory()
    {
        return "Input Data Preprocessing";
    }

    public function getPluginParams($params)
    {
    }

    public function initialize($params)
    {
    }

    public function processItemAfterId(&$item,$params)
    {   

        if($params['new'] != 1)
        {
            $this->log("Item {$item["sku"]} has been updated.", "info");
        }

        return true;
    }
}

3) In the Magmi UI, go to the Configure Current Profile section. Enable the Basic Item Logger v0.0.1 and click Update Profile.

4) The Runtime Infos pane will now list out each item that is NOT NEW and was updated, like this:

Basic Item Logger v0.0.1 - Item 123253221 has been updated.
Basic Item Logger v0.0.1 - Item 520448042 has been updated.
Basic Item Logger v0.0.1 - Item 606852342 has been updated.
Basic Item Logger v0.0.1 - Item 955884964 has been updated.

Furthermore, you can easily modify the plugin code (which is very basic) to write to a simple log file. Magmi gives you access to the entire item object. You can base can write some nifty logic based off the item column values, by using $item['column_name'] within the processItemAfterId() method. You can also use processItemBeforeId() to change the item object before it is processed by Magmi.
