Importing and Scheduling Feed Updates

Submitted by JasonG on Thu, 2011-12-01 09:41 in

Hi David,

We usually use .csv files from the networks and they provide a download URL, is there a way to use the URL instead of uploading the CSV files and going through the import process?

FYI the doanloads are usually in a .gzip format. I can send an exampe if required

If we can do the above feeds would be updated automatically, I have already added lots of drop records so that we don't include certain products and product categories

Thanks in advance
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

The Automation Tool should do the trick! If you're not running 12/10B you'll find upgrade patches on the Download Extras page but take care as know you have made quite a few modifications so if you're not sure let me know and I'll guide you through upgrading. With jobs set-up in the automation tool you can then set-up a single CRON job to call scripts/cron.php to run the fetch and import process on whatever schedule you require...

Cheers,
David.
