Is there a way of seeing what products were added to the site since a specific date? I'm mainly interested in seeing a web based representation of what is new so I can filter out products from the feeds I don't feel are suited however it could also come in useful for attracting attention to new products.
Hi David
I was searching the forum to see if this option was available.
It would be a nice addition, possibley adding a new featured area on the homepage rotating between newest items. you've explained it well. Just wondering if any other programmers have tried to do something similar?

Hi there,
Unfortunately this isn't very practical because of the way products are updated. When you import a feed, all the current products for that merchant are deleted; and then every product in the feed imported - as this is the simplest way to make sure everything is up to date.
In addition to adding database fields to hold the imported date, what you're looking to do would require that importing first checked every product in the feed to see if it already exists; only import new products; and also work out which products are no longer in the feed - which is much more complicated; both in terms of code and import performance...
Cheers,
David.
