grandmasterjack Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Hi, long time since I have been on here used to have oscom sites which I gave up. Anyway I am starting a new shop and I want to be able to download products from a dropshipper and don't want to have to list each product individually. I have another site and to download the products I just put in the address bar my site followed by/retrieveProducts.php and this downloads and updates all products. I looked in addons and found this: OSC XML FEED - Version 2.0A & 2.0B is this what I should be using and if so can anyone help with installation or advice. If this is the wrong addon to be using can someone please tell me the correct one. Yes I'm using oscom for my shop. Thanks Jack If at first you don't succeed.............................Cheat!!

♥geoffreywalton Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 I don't know of any contribution that downloads and updates products from a feed and creates new products. There is one that downloads xml and can update fields. Trouble is that the xml suppliers provide don't always adhere to xml standards. The way I got round it was to download the data and run it through Easy Populate.

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 A good dropshipper will provide the tools to populate osC. You pay dearly for it though. Anything else is usually custom written. I did my own and it's not that hard, but like Geoff said, most suppliers do not have adhere to proper xml standards. I spent a couple of days getting mine written and still had to do one category at a time. Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
