Editing XML Feed File

Adding a new field to the feed export file

To add a new field to the export file, you can use the reserved fields custom_label_0...custom_label_4 or add a new node to the XML file.

How to add a new node

  1. Locate a feed configuration file in the folder on your computer:

c:\Users\%USERNAME%\appdata\Local\eMagicOne Store Manager for Magento\Feeds

  1. Open the file and find the <Fields> </Fields> section where existing fields are written.

  2. Add a new node with the basic default values:

<Field Name="My_new_field" FieldDataType="string" FieldUse="Optional" Entity="" MaxLength="2000" Direction=""> <FieldValue ValueType="DataField" ValueData=""></FieldValue><FieldValueRegEx/></Field>

4. Save changes to the file and close it.


Upon launching the Feed Generator wizard, the new node will appear in the Feed Fields list:

Selection of store custom attributes for the feed

How to add a store custom attribute to the feed:

  1. Locate a feed configuration file in the folder on your computer:

c:\Users\%USERNAME%\appdata\Local\eMagicOne Store Manager for Magento\Feeds

  1. Open the file and find the <Data> </Data> section.

  2. Select your Magento version in <SQL DBVersion=

  3. Go to the end of the SQL query and add your piece of query like a1.attribute_code = ‘custom attribute name’ to select the attribute from your store.

Note: Export of custom attributes only works for the option Filtered simple products.

Below are the examples of the selection of attributes for Magento 2.х for the following attribute types: text_field, text_area, date, dropdown, multiplay selected, yes_no, price.

Upon launching the Feed Generator wizard, the added custom attributes will appear in the Field Value dropdown list:

Custom attributes in the exported feed file:

Note: In case your database is customized in a specific way or attributes have some specifics, the standard SQL query may not work. In this case, you will have to adapt the query for your database.

Macros used for the feed generation

To create a custom SQL, you can substitute specific values for the extracts from the database.

'/PREFIX/' - store prefix;

'/SELECTED_WEB_ID/' - to specify a website;

'/DEFAULT_WEB_ID/' - to specify the default website;

'/SELECTED_GROUP_ID/' - to specify a store;

'/USE_SKIP_LINK/' - IsSkip = ' OR (e.type_id <> "configurable")';

Not IsSkip = ' OR (e.type_id = "configurable")';


'/website_id = DEF_WEB_ID/' - to support websites in the Inventory;

'/website_id = SELECTED_WEB_ID/' - to support websites in the Inventory;


'/PRODUCT_ENTITY_TYPE_ID/' - to specify entity_type_id //* By default entity_type_id = 4;

'/ADMIN_WEB_ID/' - Admin Website = 0;

'/DEF_WEB_ID/' - Default Website;
