In the Netherlands we have a website www.beslist.nl . In order to display product there, I need to provide them with a Feed URL in CSV.TXT or XML
How do I get a feed URL for a product.

Hi
Which field for each product need to be in the xml file ?
Is there a specification document for the fields that could appear in the xml file ?
have a look to a joomla php code extension the deal with article ( CCK?) an deal with xml ( xmap) !!
sax ( srial) )or dom ( object) php API should be use for create the xml/html tree
It ll be nice that the website url could be read in enllish to be able to help you /understand how website work.
only guy from the same language as you could help you in this case !!

I really don't understand what it means or how it works. I hoped there is something plug and play. Like with google shopping. A plugin to get a XML / URL feed.

Hi,

You can create for that a mass action via the menu System>Mass action. Set a daily trigger (for example) on the data "product" and set an action "export to CSV" and enter the path you want for your CSV file along with the columns you want.
Once you properly configured your cron task ( www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ashop-cron-task.html ), that CSV file will be recreated automatically by the system with your products and you can provide them with that file.

If they support the google shopping XML format, then you can also use that plugin.

Hi
sorry i don't understand the question and i write about implementation low level ( about xml parser ) rather than gui way . I understand now you speak about google market and xml product import /exort / feed ?

sorry

What the TS wants (And i've been looking for the same thing for a while!):

Beslist.nl is a website that compares prices for all products, ie: Windows 7.

I have windows 7 for 50 euros and mediamarkt has it for 51 euros.
Beslist.nl gives the user an overall view of all connected webshops.

The feed that beslist.nl needs HAS to include a direct URL of every product. So when the user clicks 'windows 7' on beslist.nl it links directly to my windows7 offer in my webshop.

I have not found a way to automate this process but I hope there is one.

Right now, I visit every item in my webshop on the frontend and copy-paste the link into the canonial box of that product.
Then, I tell beslist.nl to use that row for the direct link.

TS and I are looking for a way to have a direct link to every product created automatic.
Is there one?

As Nicolas explained, since we don't have a plugin for that, the best solution is to generate a XML file on a daily basis and import it on beslist.nl. You can process this way with google product so if there is a possibility to send xml file to this website that will be the best solution.

Hello,
as I red your discussion I was wondering if there would be more users of hikashop who would like to have a feed for beslist.
Why don't we try to join and let somebody write the plugin and split the cost?

Boudewijn

sounds good..... i want to join, lets discuss further steps

It's a very good idea. If someone knows the way, I will join!

Hello,
Are there more people joining?
I had some contact with different specialist.
Waiting for responce

Depending on prices i'm interested!

There is no need to ask somebody to create or write something special for the beslist.nl
You just add in the google plugin to write the google feed to a map.
Link the file on you account in beslist.
determine the different header to the testing file in beslist and it works.
Just waiting for their final check.
And then it should be gettin live

Still keeps me amazed the flexibility in Hika. Compliment for them
