[numinix]

thanks maxrisc, I'll take a look.

I've just released the auction site attributes add-on module to support the eBay Turbo Lister 2.0 Exporter contribution. I will announce it's release here rather than create a new thread:

v1.0.0 AUCTION SITE ATTRIBUTES

1. adds additional attributes for ebid, ebay, amazon, and epier;
   • including:
     • flat rate shipping costs per product per continent;
     • site category id's;

Once the eBay, ePier, Amazon, and eBid feeders have been updated to support this release, you will be able to save a great deal of time by setting the category id's of each website as well as flat rate shipping per continent only once.

So why release this module before the mods it supports?

This will give store owners time to update these attributes in each of their products (I'll be updating Quick Updates next to include these attributes).

Future releases of this add-on are very possible due to other similar attributes that exist between each of the sites.

I'm working on the next public release of the eBay exporter and have included a new feature. For those of you who have eBay stores, in the auction site attributes module when inputting the eBay category you can also put your store category like this:

eBay Category ID: 5555,1

The 5555 will be used in the eBay exporter as the global category and 1 as the store category.

There are a couple of bugs in ASA 1.0.0, I'll update it right away.

You may also wish to make certain it supports the possibility of file prefixes in the DB.

LOL... don't worry this script was designed specifically for zen-cart.

v1.0.1 AUCTION SITE ATTRIBUTES

1. Added excluded products by title keywords;
2. Added Auction Site Attributes module support;

v0.9.3 EBAY EXPORTER (notice name change)

1. supports auction site attributes module (MANDATORY even if not used);
2. added excluded products by title keywords filter;

This update only supports the ebay category numbers and not the flat rate shipping rates as unfortunately they aren't imported in text format by Turbo Lister. These attributes will be used mostly for the upcoming eBid contribution.

To use the eBay categories with Auction Site Attributes, input the ebay category and then the store category separated by a comma, no spaces. Example: 5555,1 will set ebay_cat = 5555 and store_cat = 1.

Note: name change is to avoid confusion that this module also supports selling manager pro as well as turbo lister and to shorten the name. The name change hasn't been updated in the SQL and therefore isn't official, yet...

The next release will support product dimensions for calculated shipping rates.

I need to know the following, other than the Canada Post module, which shipping modules have added product dimensional support. This would mean that your products.php page will display input fields for dimensions. Once I have a list of contributions that already have dimensional support, I'll see if they use the same column names in the database. If not, I may have to create a brand new section to the ASA mod where you can input package dimensions as well.

eBay supports calculated shipping rates through UPS, USPS and possibly other shipping companies, but they require dimensions in order to return a value.

Another note for the ASA mod:

To find the eBay categories, go to eBay (whichever domain you use) and browse categories. Click show category numbers.
