Hitflip is a site that allows you to swap items with others.

 

This contribution creates a data feed which can be submitted to hitflip so you can list your OSC catalog on their site.

This add-in is now obsolete as the import method has been changed by Hitmeister.

Hello.

 

Why should this be obsolete? It's not!

We STILL USE your contrib (thanks for this!) as it produces a good datafeed which Hitmeister can download directly from our webspace. Import methods still allow to generate a feed on your own webspace and let HM download them at predefined times. Used as Cronjob it works 100% automatically. It is perfect for everyone who can't use there API.

 

Bute still there's one problem i could'nt solve: Stores special prices are not used in export!?

Glad it is of use.

 

I did this contribution for Hitmeister and after a year they contacted me and said it had been superseded so I updated the descriptions.

 

The price calculation does not use the specials but no doubt could be adapted to use it if there is one.

 

This should help, taken from product_info.php

 

	if ($new_price = tep_get_products_special_price($product_info['products_id'])) {
  $products_price = '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($product_info['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</s> <span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($new_price, tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>';
} else {
  $products_price = $currencies->display_price($product_info['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id']));
}

Hey Geoffrey

Of course they did lots of changes on import functions but your way still works fine ;)

They just added more variations like direct API etc.

 

I will test your code very soon and report if it works.

 

THANKS!
