CategoryUrlRewriteObserver can't handle renamed categories about import-category HOT 6 CLOSED

I forgot to post my solution (more hack than workaround) to this. I overwrote the method getValue() in TechDivision\Import\Category\Observers\CategoryUrlRewriteObserver by the following implementation:

    public function getValue($name, $default = null, callable $callback = null)
    {
        if ($name === ColumnKeys::PATH)
        {
            $pathArray = explode('/', parent::getValue($name, $default, $callback));
            $pathArray[count($pathArray) - 1] = parent::getValue(ColumnKeys::NAME);
            return implode('/', $pathArray);
        }

        return parent::getValue($name, $default, $callback);
    }

@ktruehl Am i correct, when i assume, that you ONLY changed the value in the column name, not the value in the column path? The value path is comparable with the SKU of a product, which means when the path changes a new product will be created.

@ktruehl I think the issue has been closed with 3.1.0-beta13. If not, or my assumption in the comment above has been wrong, please re-open the issue.

Yeah, I do see the point about uniqueness of path. In the end it's a philosophical question. My workaround works and is simple enough, so that should be fine.

Concerning the major changes you did: Does that mean that I now have to provide the name path in the correct language for each store view? Currently I'm simply using the name path from the admin store to identify a category for each store view.

Hi, especially in the case of categories it is. I think Magento knows why they didn't implement a category import ;)

The path column is the unique identifier and the name column is used to be render the category tree in backend and the categories in frontend, for example the file i've tested it with looks like the following

Great. Thanks for the info. Then it should still work for me.
