copy items from one zencart to another

[kitcorsa]

i looking for a easy and fast way to import item from one zencart to another. ive used this mod to import items from OS commerse


oscommerce_data_importer_1-8

which worked so well that i would love it if someone could do a simular program that could copy prodcts from one zencart to another at a click like this did so i can have all my products on 2 different site and faster than EP

Why not back up the database and restore it in the other Zen Cart?

Yes that would work you would also need to upload the pictures to the new zen cart. But I have done that many of times in transferring zen carts around to me.

yeah it would but i dont want to bring customers over as each have there own customers! so DB backup wont work.

i am using EP at the moment to do it and copying the images from one site to another but im havoing massive trouble with this as well as EP and IH2 dont seem to work together!

[kitcorsa]

EP doesn't bring over file names of the images for catogories either! so the script to import from an OS site to a zencart if this could be mad to import fromone zencart to another would be best

I would open database using PHPAdmin, and export only category and products related tables to avoid customers.
Then you can import those tables into new database.

And .. transfer images to the same ( with the same name and place ) folder on new server.

I think this would do the job.

indeed it would svampola..... as long as you know what your doing with phpmyadmin..... also its a pain to do every week as i add new items weekly. Would be miles easy if there was a script like the above import script.

I've found this one:

maybe you can use it

yeah if this could be modded to import from one zencart to another it would be great... but i have talked to the creator and he informs me i would delete all the old products and add the new ones... id need it to over look exsisting items and just add new ones..

this is where i though Easy populare mod would work but this doesn't seen to work for brinign in catogory images tags and also Image Handler 2 doesn't seem to work with items added via EP either
