Import Products from a path of my FTP server

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.1
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.14
-- PHP version -- : 5.2.17

Hi, I have the CSV file to import twice a week, occupies roughly 7 MB. and contains around 7,500 product lines with several rates for each product, 3 images, description in html, etc..

The server reaches the maximum wait time and this forces me to have to start from the CSV file into 5 or 6 pieces to upload one by one and that the server reaches the timeout.

HikaShop Could tell that I want to import a CSV file that is already loaded on a FTP server directory?

In section HikaShop> Products> Import from CSV file, I have only the option to select a file from my computer, but I can not select a file already on my FTP server.

Is not it possible? Thank you.

Hi,

There is indeed no option for that.

What you might what to do is to configure the datafeed plugin of HikaShop (note that it requires that you first configure the cron task in the configuration) which imports automatically a CSV somewhere on your server at a specific frequency.

Thanks, where I can find documentation to do what you say? A greeting.

The cron task configuration is available here:

There is no documentation for the "Product cron update plugin" but the options are self explanatory when you edit it via the joomla plugins manager.
