How to extend

This module is easily extendible adding additional attribute on import. Steps you should do:

• Add your columns to the csv
• Add category_import.xml file on your custom module like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<additional name="custom">
    <column csv_name="your_field_csv_name" attribute_name="your_attribute_name" sort="6"></column>
    ...
