customers in admin taking too much time to load

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:12:47 +0000

In magento if you have many customers and trying to load the products in admin under customers > manage customers , it takes too long to load or in some case it hangs the system .

I faced this problem in on of the project and after debugging the issue , i found that the issue is caused because of the sql query created to load the customers in grid . In the sql query if you remove the “order by” clause then it loads the products without any problem

To make it work I just comment one line at this path “app\code\core\Mage\Adminhtml\Block\Customer”

From the below code comment this line “$this->setDefaultSort(‘entity_id’);”

public function __construct()

{

parent::__construct();

$this->setId(‘customerGrid’);

$this->setUseAjax(true);

//$this->setDefaultSort(‘entity_id’);

$this->setSaveParametersInSession(true);

}

Try this ,i think it would help

Skip import row, is not valid value “” for field “type”

admin — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 06:13:31 +0000

While trying the magento bulk import , we come across some of the issues . One of the issue which come across while updating the product which existing sku is as follow :

” Skip import row, is not valid value “” for field “type” ”

The reason for this is that the data which you are trying to update using the sku , does not exist, so magento display this error.

I hope this will help ..

Skip Import Row, Required Field “sku” Not Defined

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:52:47 +0000

While importing the bulk import of products in magento we usually face this issue.

“Skipping import row, required field “sku” is not defined.”

The reason for this is that if the csv is not saved in UTF-8 format and you are using some special characters in the csv like some other language names . To avoid this you must save the csv using UTF-8 format .

To create a csv in UTF -8 format you just download the Open Office Org and when you are on the save screen, tick the “Edit filter settings” box and then once you click save you will be given the option of choosing the encoding format.

Hope this will fix the problem
