magnusw Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello! I have hundreds of products to import and I have a xml-file with all the product information. A xml-import-script would be really useful to me. Easypopulate don't have the xml-feature yet, and xml-feed only do the export from the store, not import. I thought about reformatting xml to csv using Excel but especially structures like these makes it hard: <categories> <category>cat a</category> <category>cat b</category> <category>cat c</category> </categories> Any hints are appreciated! Best regards /Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 you could leverage some code from the rss contribution like its xml parser. There could be something in easypopulate, check the contribution support threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monster Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 You could hack the oscommerce.xml contribution to your needs http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...,all/search,xml it claims to be an 'alternative to Easy Populate' Light, in the absence of eyes, illuminates nothing.

demon2lima Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 That would be a great contrib to run but it doesn't create new catagories or set the value for images. Its a great start but its not there yet. What I'm looking for is something to read in my excel file, compare it to my current database and then upload the changes for the items I currently have in the DB without creating new items. I want to do this because my vendors all send my spreadsheets with 20,000 + items and that makes for a loooonnngggggg day updating stock levels. PLEASE HELP!!! I have been trying to make my own contrib but I am new to PHP and its giving me a headache :P Chuck www.everythingbelowretail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediajuggle Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I use a customized version of oscommerce.xml that allows you to import products as well and it is much easier than Easy Populate. I would offer it to you but it's been customized specially for my store... though the programmer is working on a general version for contribution section. I hope so because once you use it, you'll never want to use anything else... it's that easy...

demon2lima Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 That would be wonderful! I started to modify the current version but I just don't have the time to sit down and learn that much PHP right now. I'll be looking for the new contrib, I really hope it goes public. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
