Can't open bulkinventree gui links (get's re routed to index page)

[MikeLemo1]

after installing the plugin using inventree's plugins import wizard enabling it and all those feathures:

then shutting down with docker compose down and updating with:
docker compose run --rm inventree-server invoke update and restarting when going to the plugin's different gui pages I assume it simply re routs me to the index page this way I'm not sure how to interface it and import parts from my csv to inventree's part's database and do some info fields migrations for more parameters for the parts etc...

Any idea why?
none of the following urls direct to to a page other than the http://inventree.localhost/index/

Hey @MikeLemo1 ,

these urls you are clicking on "Open in new tab" are just api endpoints and are not meant for users, that's why you are redirected to the index page.

To use this plugin head over to the parts page and select one category (you have to be on the details page for a "real category" - a category, not the root category). Then you find a bulk create parts panel, click on it and select "New untitled schema". For more information just follow the 🏃 Usage guide on the readme.

and import parts from my csv to inventree's part's database

Just to clarify, importing parts from a predefined csv is not the intention of this plugin. For that, you can use the inventree importer (core feature of inventree) located in the admin center of platform ui. (Navigate to /platform and then select the admin center through your profile avatar). This plugin is for generating items based on patterns.

Best
Lukas

huh yeah got it working but I was hoping this was more of a tool where I can create a simple list with say text with values separated by comma , for bulk categories import(also for the root inventree part categories) or with json or csv for more complicated bulk imports like part imports

You can get a pretty decent feeling of what you can and what you can't do with the plugin if you look through the example screenshots from the readme.

You may searching for the data importer located in the admin center as described in my previous comment. Just navigate to https://demo.inventree.org/platform/settings/admin/import (you can either try it out on the demo server, or you can also replace demo.inventree.org with your own).

So we can close this issue?

Oh yeah and the data importer http://inventree.localhost/platform/settings/admin/import was what I was looking for thanks for that. as of this plugins useage I'll slowly get more advanced with inventree as a whole to utilize the dynamic parametric naming system it provides.
