How to unpublished products by default after Product Cron Update

Hi Hikashop team,

Every 15 minutes we update the products form our back-end administration too Hikashop with a CSV file. We do not use the product_published field because we want to publish or unpublish products manually in Hikashop.

But when a product is imported for the first time it’s automatically published and that is not allowed in our situation because the price has not yet been added because we want to do this manually.

Is it possible to make an option in the Product Cron Update plugin to set new / first imported products by default unpublished. (No problem if there are costs involved)

Hope you can help us.

Kind regards,
Lumiga

Hi,

You can modify the plugins/hikashop/datafeed/datafeed.php file of the product cron update plugin and add the line:
$importHelper->header_errors = false;
after the line:
$importHelper->force_published = false;
to deactivate the auto publishing of new products.
We'll look at adding an option for that.

Hi Nicolas,

It's working fine!
Thank-you very much.

I hope it will be a option in the next update.

You only mixed-up the old and new line in your text. It should have been:
