Hi,

What do you have to export to that website ?
Do you have an example of the format they accept for the import on their end ?

Hi,
i need to export all product-data. Idealo.de / fr is a price and product comparing page.

This website also have a xml interface and a csv interface.
A plugin would be perfect:-)

****
We require the following information from you in your feed, in separate CSV columns or XML tags
•Product group
•Manufacturer/brand name (e.g. Casio)
•Product name (e.g. Casio QV-4000)
•Manufacturer part number (e.g. C6578D for Hewlett Packard)
•EAN number (important)
•ISBN (for books)
•Price in GBP (incl. VAT)
•Product image link (largest version/preferably several images to create a gallery, with each in its own column)
•Shipping costs – different columns may be used here for different payment types, if applicable
•Deeplink to a detailed product page
•Delivery time (recommended) Brief product description (optional)
•Header line that clearly names each column
•Category-specific product attributes (e.g., colour, size and material)
•If applicable, the base price (e.g. £3.50/litre)
•Energy efficiency class (only for products that require this information)

Hi,

You sure can implement such plugin for HikaShop.
Here is our documentation on plugins development for HikaShop:
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...r-documentation.html
Any PHP developer will be able to do that for you.

However, an easier solution will be to use the product data export system already available in HikaShop.
It won't have all the columns exactly like they require but it's already pretty close and it supports CSV as well.
It would be easier to customize the file "export" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views and use the standard "export" button of the products listing of the backend than start from scratch. It will still require a developer to do that, but it's a lot less work.
