[spikescot2005]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

My supplier provides a XML data feed is there a script i can use to be able to use this.

Or an easy way to be able to use the XML data feed.

Thanks in advance.

My supplier says -

If you prefer and have the know how you can install an appropriate script on your site and have our products installed on your website with a click of a button using our XML data feed.

We have provided documentation on the feed structure below so you are free to write your own script but most of us that do not know how to do this will need help.

Value Name - e.g. colour, size

Price prefix - +, - or blank

Price adjustment value - Amount, e.g. 1.9900

Would anyone be able to make the script, im willing to pay.

Hello,
I am in the exact same situation. I am paying $50 a month for inventory source to do exactly this. I have recently asked them to create datafeeds based on the products on my website, they were not able to do so so far, and again I am paying them for this as well additional $10 per month, plus the sign up fee $15. I feel like going over there and slapping someone across the face because the only thing they are good at is taking their monthly payment. I am agravated and a little bit dissapointed that there is no system for zencart shopping cart users to do this on their own, manage their own product via pricelists provided by the suppliers, and for datafeed submitions. Anyone working on this? Anyone has any suggestions? Please! I cannot waste anymore time or money with this crappy inventory source company. I want to be able to do it on my own. Thanks!

I want to be able to import and update my inventory from supplier's xml feed. Importing using easypopulate isn't too bad, but inventory updates myst come via xml. I have found a product on the internet from OSCASSIST called ZenCart XML/CSV Feeds Management System [ZEN_FEEDS_MANAGER]. Has anyone used this?

I am using OSCAssist. I have to tell you it does work, but you will need to be a patient person and expect to work with the developer when things go whonky... which they will. He does not always respond in a timely manner but he usually does respond at some point. The time difference is usually pretty inconvenient as he is in the Ukraine. But considering there are not any other options out there....we went with it... Right now I am having an issue because our host has upgraded to PHP 5.3 and apparently the Importer scripts are written for PHP 5.2 becuase our Importer ceased on the same day as the PHP upgrade.... grrrrrrr

So there is some inside info for you to help you make a decision.

I was going to help chadderuski get an Auto Update/Import feature into his awesome easypopulate 4 but I just have not had the time and I dont know if he has either! http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...Support-Thread. You may want to keep an eye on his thread to see how thats coming along....
