publishing a tab delimited CSV catalog feed

[exo-dan]

Hello,
I am new to Prestashop. I am looking for the easiest way to have a product catalog feed that is accessible at a URL like:
http://storedomain.com/modules/feeder/catalog.txt or .csv

I want the feed to contain all the products in the catalog and be updated on the fly when products change. I need this to make a shop interface to http://commerce.exorbyte.com which requires ideally a CSV Tab Delimited feed but also accepts Google Base ATOM XML or RSS1 and RSS2.

I tried the RSS feeders tool but it only showed 3 products and is missing some fields.
Is there a module out there to to this? Any other ideas besides writing my own?
Thanks,
Dan

I can recommend this module as I have just got it setup correctly.
http://prestashop-module.de/lang-en/schnittstellen/63-moussiq-exportmodul-fur-produkt-und-preissuchmaschinen.html

You can edit the field name which you can find here on google.

I didn’t notice this at first and kept getting feed errors.

There is also a paid for google base version:
http://prestashop-module.de/export/75-google-base.html

Seems to be the two most affordable.

(I have nothing to do with prestashop-module.de but he module worked for me)

I tried what you say. The module is pretty nice but I can't make the header row appear in the CSV feed file. I have chosen the option: "CSV header X Yes No
This will add header with customizable field names to csv files generated by module"
Do you know why?

Also, I wonder if there is a way to automate it.
I would like the module to auto-update the CSV file at a fixed URL or at least to be able to trigger from a cron job.
Any ideas?

To be honest I am still playing with it but I have the google feed setup and working.
Some tips that may help,
You can set it up to auto update the feed on specified days and times by clicking "Click here to display template settings”
I am still waiting to find out if this works in practice.
You have global settings and these can be overridden on a per feed basis. Are you sure you are changing the correct one to add the headers etc?

Once you save the export fields you can go back and edit the filled names if you have a service which requires specific terms. (like google).

Good luck, sorry I am no expert, might need to contact the developer if you have real problems.

If you know how to use excel it's easy to create a tab del for product feeds when you done inputting the info just "save as" What worked best for me though was creating one as xml file good luck!
