Link with ABO Admin

OS Commerce and ABO Software.

After installing OS_Commerce I realised that the administration of the webshop would become a lot of work. I was looking for a possibility to use the products in the ABO Administration Software for my webshop. After looking in the contributions I found easypopulate to import articles in a webshop.

This became the base for this contribution. It does the following without a need of manual intervention:
- Export all the products from the ABO Admin to the webshop. Complete information which contains description and detailed technical information. If a picture is available it is also exported.
- If orders are placed on the webshop, the orders are automatically imported in ABO Admin. The status of the order on the webshop is changed from 1 to 2.

The combination of ABO Admin and OS Commerce gives you a powerful solution to sell your products on the net, without an overload of extra work.

You need version 5.2 of ABO Admin which contains the following functions :
- Export products and put them in the temp-directory of the webshop.
- Start the easypopulate to import the products. Since there can be a problem when using a lot of products, the data is split is files with 300 products.
- Load the pictures of the products on the webshop in the images directory.
- Import all pending orders on the webshop and change the order_status to 2.
- Create complete orders in ABO Admin. If the order is placed by a new client, the client is automatically created.
- Make reservations for the products ordered, so the stock is always up-to-date.
