Importing Custom Options for Products in Magento 1.7.0.0

ce-1.7.0.0custom-optionsimportmagento-1.7

I've seen a few similar threads that asked this question but they were either using an outdated version or did not exactly meet my needs. So I thought I'd ask here:

Does Magento allow importing of custom options for "simple products" ? (ver 1.7.0.0)
If it doesn't, by default, is there an easy way to allow such functionality?

^{Note: If neither of these are possible, I am also open to suggestions about extensions (free or not) that address this need.}

Have you looked into using Magmi? It has a lot of extra functionality for imports, one of their plugins may meet your needs, if it isn't already in Magmi.

Magmi on Sourceforge

Magento – file option not working in custom options for product import from csv

Finally find the solution for the problem with the csv after digging deep into the code.

Posting it here if anybody needs the same.

For the file upload problem go to

app/code/core/Mage/ImportExport/Model/Import/Entity/Product.php

and on the line no. 684 uncomment the line

'file' => array('price', 'sku', 'file_extension', 'image_size_x', 'image_size_y'),

I don't understand why this is commented by default in magento.

And the products were not showing on the frontend just because of the indexing. After reindexing all the product tables I got all the products on the frontend

Thanks

Magento – Where magento stores custom options for the products added to cart

The selected options are stored in the table:

sales_flat_quote_item_option

When the quote is converted to an order the info_buyRequest data is transferred to the field product_options in the sales_flat_order_item table.
