    Hey,
    i need some help with my XML import.

    i have import the Categories with names and a custom field vor CatID (for ex. 1234)

    Now when i want to import the products, i only get the id´s of categories and not the name.
    So the import will add new cats with the id´s.

    i have seen the “mapping function” which is built in wp all import, but i have more than 200 different categories and ids.

    Is there any solution for an php function, to check the id in the term “CatID” and set the value?

    thats what i have in import
    <category>2399,2400,2655</category>

    cat 2399 = Parent category A
    cat 2400 = Child category A
    .
    .
    .

    Would be great if you have a solution for me.

    Cheers

    Yes, you can use a custom PHP function for this: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/execute-php/. Here is an example that you can adjust as needed:

    function my_get_category( $ids ) {
	if ( ! empty( $ids ) ) {
		$return = array();
		$ids = explode( ",", $ids );
		foreach ( $ids as $id ) {
			$id = trim( $id );
			$term = get_terms( array(
				'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
				'hide_empty' => false,
				'meta_query' => array(
					'key' => '_category_id',
					'value' => $id,
					'compare' => '='
				)
			) );
			if ( ! empty( $term ) ) {
				$return[] = $term[0]->slug;
			}	
		}
		if ( ! empty( $return ) ) {
			return implode( ">", $return );
		}
	}	
}
