SUPPORT : XML Export contribution


expert

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if there is a XML export mod. that will export your products with their respective .htaccess modified SEF URLs?

 

Hmmm... I know I need one!

 

I am sure their has to be others that need it also...

 

Looks like I am going to have to build one if its not developed already...

 

Expert...

 

Think you could give me a hand with your code so I could format the XML output to build the URL in the same pattern the Ultimate SEO url contrib uses?

 

Could be a great project... you have most of it written... just need to format the output...

 

if it is not already availible...

Actually adding full product path using SEO URL mode would be usefull. You can add it if you can, or stay tuned I will look at that.

hi

 

great contribution .. works out of the box. Now i'm trying to validate it with some online xml checkers .. one at http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/xml-check.html gives me following error

 

Warning: Document has no DTD, validating abandoned

(detected at end of prolog of document http://www...../exportfile.xml)

Error: Input error: Illegal UTF-8 byte 2 <0x65> at file offset 690

in unnamed entity at line 14 char 10 of http://www..../exportfile.xml

 

this first one is the one that worries me .. second one will be solved with full transaltion to utf charset .. i guess

 

thanx in advance

DTD validation shouln't be a problem. I've check my export XML and it says Ok.

 

Anybody else encounters same DTD validation problem?

 

Btw, much improved version of XML Export is coming soon. Following iprovements are almost done;

 

- Running in standard admin interface

- Static texts are now in seperate langulage file

- Full product URL is now added into XML (SEO URL can be implemented but SEO class is not in admin, so some extra work is needed to run SEO in Admin (I don't want to move export script file in catalog side due to some possible unauthorized access from anybody - In addition to that please see my note below about your data security)

- Code is now more in osC code syntax

- Warning and success messages are now displayed in current osC $messagestack style at top.

 

XML Data Security warning: Please note that your generated XML can be accessed anybody from /dataexport/ folder. In order to avoid to stole your XML data please change /dataexport/ folder name in script and also don't use default exportfile.xml filename. And I strongly advice you to use .htaccess in that folder to avoid public folder listing.

Sure. You have products data. You can use it in another format as well as XML tags that we used here.

 

Sample:

 

$csv_file = $product['model'] . '|' . $product['name'] . '|' . $product['description'] . '\n';

 

Hi,

I tried to modify the file .... No success. The output file is not in txt format. Erhan, I'm not a programmer. :blush:. Can you help me to do those modifications?

The .txt file must be in the following format:

Hello,

This is a great contribution, thanks to the author! I need to display the price including taxes in the exportfile! How can I do that? Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

pietonul.

 

Hi Expert.

 

Can you please advise where you are with XML IMPORT.

Is there any alternative you can advise what I am looking for.

 

My Trading company is offering XML services, which can show Live Stock update on my Site. and Also system to check update product images every night. and so many live XML services, but my main intention is above two.

 

 

Can you please advise any contribution on XML import. or how long it will take for release of your contribution.

 

Regards

 

Zee

Expert,

 

There is an issue with the xml export in that if there is an "&" in the image file name or brand (mfr) name, it will not change it to & which is the appropriate xml display of an "&", causing the file to fail if you parse it.

 

Just letting you know.

Hi, this is a great module and I was able to get it going without any troubles... my only question is when I do an export, it creates the initial file, but I'd like to be able to overwrite the file with the same name. Right now I have to manually delete the file in order to create a new version of the same name. Is there a way to do this?

 

Many thanks,

Janet

Hi, I have problems with product price special. On some products with special price, instead of special price is just "1.00".

Does anybody else also has that problem ?

 

BTW tnx for this contribution!

Dear Expert,

Please explain in little more detail as I am a newbie, as to how to use your contribution, as it appears to be quite valuable. But I couldn't configure it correctly. I have copies the files & created a link explained in this section for xml_export.php. But I am getting the following error on clicking the link.

 

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare do_magic_quotes_gpc() (previously declared in E:\Program Files\Ensim\WEBppliance\SiteData\Domains\cbsindia.in\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\orissaitbazaar\admin\includes\functions\compatibility.php:18) in E:\Program Files\Ensim\WEBppliance\SiteData\Domains\cbsindia.in\ROOT\Inetpub\wwwroot\orissaitbazaar\admin\includes\functions\compatibility.php on line 18

 

I have also edited two files first - admin\includes\boxes\catalog.php by including this line

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_XML_EXPORT) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_XML_EXPORT . '</a><br>' . // XML EXPORT

second file is \admin\includes\filenames.php by including this line

define('FILENAME_XML_EXPORT', 'xml_export.php');

 

Please help.

 

 

This is support threat of XML Export contrib. Please post any query here if you need any assistance or help or comment,

 

Basicaly this contrib helps you creating XML feed for products in your db. You can export whole db or you can select any categories to export.

You can easily modify XML structure.

 

You can donwload it from http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,5354

 

Now I'm focusing on XML Import feature. Importing XML is a little bit tedious for me but its time to create alternative for Easy Populate since Vendors start feeding in XML. Better to implement some XML maps to import from various vendor feeds. If there is any contributer to give me a hand it would be really apreciated.

I don't have any idea about this problem. Did you place all the files correctly? This error generally occurs when you add accidentaly any of main file into language folder. Because names are the same.

Howdy,

 

Thanks for posting this excellent utility.

 

Out of interest, I would like to change the encoding to UTF8 but am struggling to ind where you set it to windows 1254. How is the xml encoding configured?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Stu

It can be changed here:

 

  if (tep_db_num_rows($products_query)) {
$xml_file.="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"windows-1254\"?>\n";

It is ready actually, but my posts have been deleted related XML Core System Engine bu admins.

Actually they don't realize that this engine will extend usage of osCommerce very efficiently.

 

I need wordwide XML data feederd to add modules for this engine.

 

Please provide me some XML samples from suppliers. [email protected]
