AshtonPete Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Would someone pleeeese help me with this, this same question has been posted on a few more forums and nobody is giving me the time of day. I have a live XML feed, which needs to be implemented into a e-commerce site... BUT! I need the site to reflect all the products that are delivered through the live XML feed in the form of a shopping website... Does such a system exist? I've tried alot of things; but engines such as osCommerce etc only support XML/CSV import... not a live feed. Any help is appreciated Thanks!
Guest Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Do you want to simply display the XML feed through the eCommerce site or actually sync databases?

Guest Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 we want to reflect all the products that are delievered through the XML feed, on the osCommerce website - which needs to be live... its possible, you will have to change a many scripts to retrieve products from the xml feed instead of the related sql products tables. Perhaps a more practical and faster approach would be to create temporary products related tables every time you read the xml feed in the database and then simply rename the definitions in the database_tables.php to point to those temporary tables.

Thank you for your reply and also DGA, I am not the knowledgable one here as a friend of mine is actually doing this, the questions above are given by him and I relay them. I would like to add something myself though. After having this site www.mercurycomputers.co.uk go on the web and actally having the live feed ready and waiting and active, is there any other solution whereas this live xml feed can be used to its proper potential without any if's and but's?
