discxpress Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hello all, I was wondering if I could get OSC to support UPC numbers. If this is possible, how? I need the upc numbers for froogle and shopping.com. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radders Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yes any of the contributions to add extra fields should do it. You might want to think about adding author, performer, duration, subtitles, region etc. at the same time as UPC/EAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discxpress Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thanks for fast respones! I didn't explain myself fully. What I am wanting to do is when OSC uploads a file to Froogle, I want it to upload the upc numbers as well. The same with shopping.com. I use the Froogle data feeder but the Upc numbers are not exported. I would like for the UPC numbers to appear in the exported text files. I need to upload the upc numbers to Froogle and Shopping.com so my products will appear in the correct categories. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longlam Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 if you've already installed the contributions to add an additional field to your products, what you can do is modify easy populate so that it uploads an additional upc field so that all your products will have a upc set and then from that you can modify whatever is creating your shopping.com and froogle field to pull that upc field into the correct heading tag so that it sends it to those places. if you're not sure of what to do, i remember seeing a post about modifying easy populate to do the second part, and the last part you should be able to code on your own if you have knowledge of mysql and php. if you don't, do some more search for help, i saw a pretty long froogle discussion once.

I got the field in easypopulate to work fine. But the UPC field is empty. I've been working for awhile to get the UPC numbers to show in the UPC field. So tedious. Any suggestions?

longlam Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 hey i'm no ham, but anyways, if the easypopulate is working then it should be filling in the upc field. when you say it is working fine does that mean that when you check the database the upc is filled or do you mean that the un-modded version of easypopulate is working to update your catalog? unless you go in the code and modify it so that it knows there is a upc field there it will not update it even if you have it in the easypopulate file that you upload.
