I have used the csv file upload to upload all my products into the database. The names of the manufacturers have not been uploaded though since (as I realized ) in the database integers are used instead of strings in the fields of pManufacturer . Is there a way to upload/update names of manufacturers too? I would be grateful for any help!
When you set up a manufacturer an ID is assigned automatically - look in the attributes admin page, choose to show manufacturers and you'll see the list of IDs on the left hand side
