Magento 1.5, numeric SKUs and productIdentifierType

Question

In Magento 1.5, accessing the catalogProductInfo API call from C# like this works with non-numeric SKUs:

catalogProductRequestAttributes fetchattrib = new ca         


        

Answer 1

There is a workaround for pure numeric or mixed SKU, that works quiet well for me.

Just add a whitespace at the end of your SKU. Magento will interpret the value as a SKU, because whitespace is non numeric. Internaly Magento trims the whitespace later

This works perfectly from Magento 1.4.x - 1.9. (Edit: Thanks at Brett for testing with 1.9)

Example:

    catalogProductReturnEntity ret = m_magentoClient.catalogProductInfo(sessionId, sku+" ", storeView, fetchattrib, productIdentifierType);
