I am trying to import/update categories using the module being developed for magento MAGMI, i have made my custom category csv file with columns:

  1. Categories
  2. ttf1
  3. ttf2

2 and 3 are custom attributes, What i want to do is to update the categories different customly added attributes using csv file. And i get an error:

String could not be parsed as XML

I thought my csv is not working perfectly, so i exported products csv from magento backend and try to import it, and it gives the same error. I need to import categories via MAGMI, i don't need to include any product data in csv. Will this work?

if you want only import categories, you can create in MAGENTO (or via MAGMI) the product "test" with sku "0000" and import via MAGMI csv-file like:

"sku","categories"
"0000","NewCategory1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub2"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub3"
"0000","DeleteThisCategory"

in the end don't forget delete/disable the "test" product and "DeleteThisCategory" category.

Magmi does not import categories only, it is able to create categories on the fly during item import that's a big difference. IE : magmi imports ITEMS and can auto create categories for ITEMS being imported.

If you want to import categories, use another magento plugin.
