I wrote a script to retrieve and convert the evertek csv to easy populate format. Now apparently I have to mod the core to allow curl to login. Anyone done this? This is the only thing holding it everything up. Thanks!

You said your script converts a CSV to EasyPopulate format. If it's only converting data formats, why does it need to login to anything?

So it can auto update the database with new / updated values with out having to manually doing it your self. Auto shop updating :) I have already made a google page for it. So hopefully more people can make a use of it. I don't even run my own e-store this is for someone else.

I'm trying to avoid actually messing with the database. zen cart and easy populate are already really good at manipulating the data in the db, so I'd rather just let them do those tasks. The only problem I was having was getting easy populate to accept the csv file. That problem is past but now, when I try to login to curl I get the regular login page with the same token.


Iv managed to scrape the token. And post the admin_name admin_pass securityToken also submit=Login but its not working that way.

Have you considered the implications of PCI DSS with your application? If you're creating something which gains access to the store's backend administration tools, then you need to ensure your code is totally secure. Anyone using your application puts themselves at risk if they allow outsiders (ie your application) to login.

Just something to keep in mind and ensure you alert people about when you give people your code.

I think you may be overthinking your problem. Why not move your code into the Zen Cart admin. I don't see why your conversion couldn't occur on a page inside the Admin...
