I installed contribution http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7224

 

anyone know how to set this up?

 

Its Http by the way

 

I'm trying to add a data feed that my vendor gave me this is what I need to pass:

 

Required Variables

 

id - This is a unique ID that maps to your account number. Your ID is: ***

 

version - This variable must be present and must be set to 2. Example: version=2

 

fields - This is a comma-delimited list of fields you'd like to see in your data. For example, if you want to see sku, quantity available, and price in your download, you would add 'fields=sku,qty,price' to the URL you are using to access the feed. A complete list of field abbreviations and their descriptions can be found by referencing Appendix A HERE.

 

format - This is the format in which you'd like data to be returned. Valid formats are xml, csv, and tab. For example, if you'd like the output in a tab-delimited format, just add 'format=tab' to the URL you are using to access the feed.

 

You Must Also Include One of the Following Variables

 

time - A UNIX timestamp. Only products whose data has changed since this time will be returned. For example, if you want to see products whose data has changed since 06/29/2010, just add 'time=1277784000' to the URL you are using to access the feed.

 

ohtime - A UNIX timestamp. Only products whose QUANTITY has changed since this time will be returned. Since our inventory levels are constantly changing, we provide a timestamp for quantity changes separate from other data that doesn't change as often. We recommend that you set up 2 downloads: One for downloading data that changes infrequently using 'time=' which would run daily, and one for downloading inventory data using 'ohtime=' which would run as often as every 15 minutes.

NOTE - When using the new feed, Requests for inventory data using ohtime= will only return sku, quantity, upc, and manufacturer part number.

You need to download the file from your supplier, that if I recognise the text is cwr, and reformat it into the format required for importing using csv.

 

BTW you can also download the images from there as well.

 

A bastardised versin of http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7286 will do it.

 

Enjoy
