Import / update products from external data source

[prossel]

Hello,

Is there a way to automatically import then, later, update products from an external data source for one or more supplier ?

I would like to have new products automatically imported as disabled (will be reviewed by human since not all products are to be sold on the shop, categories will be manually assigned). Then the products should be automatically updated (cron job) when price, stock, weight, etc. change.

The data source is not yet defined (direct MySQL access, XML, service, etc.)

I searched the forum and google. I found "Easy Populate" contributions which could be inspiring. Anything else I missed ?

Do you know another contribution which could do that ?
I could also develop something myself, and probably will, but why reinvent the wheel if something has already be done ?

Thank you.

Any luck with this prossel?

I am also looking for a contribution that can import products into zencart through a XML feed.

Nothing new. I didn't find anything and the client gave up the idea.
