getProducts overload

[gazapko]

Hi! I'm preparing one module about saving XML file all list of products.

 

I'm using the getProducts function, but in this case I have a lot of products (more than 20000 products) and the server is limited to 30sec executing function for security (I can't change, is not possible)

 

Anybody knows how to make loading products step by step automatic in only one script? Maybe using the parametres "start" and "limit" in the same function, but If I try in the same php file the execution time is overload.

 

(sorry for my baaaad english! thanks!!)

For example.

 

In the bd there are 20000 products.

 

First save the 0 to 1000

next, 1000 to 2000

2000 to 3000

...

...

finish to 20000

 

 

I have the function to get the total number of products (integer).

Hi, I'm trying to call the method getCategories() , and the way I think is the same than getProducts(). I was chatting with prestashop staff and they told me that some prestashop folders as admin, tabs, etc are autoload for all the prestashop resources classes, objetcts, etc... I could see how it works: They oppened a blank file with the following code (If I'm not in a mistake):

 

<?
$cats = getCategories();
print_r ($cats);
?>

 

 

and we could see the array of all categories...

 

Now, I'm I'm my offfice the results are very bad:

 

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function  getcategories() in test.php on line 2

Hi Emilio,

 

'getCategories()' is a method of a class, you can't call it without an object.

OK, the correct code is:

 

 

<?
include_once "../config/autoload.php";

/* getCategories arguments
*  arg 1 - id of the default language
*  arg 2 - true | false - Only active categories
*  arg 3 - true | false - Para indicar que no es un pedido
*
*  Without arguments the result array is confused [/font]
[font=courier new,courier,monospace]*/

$cats = Category::getCategories( (int)($cookie->id_lang), true, false  ) ;
print_r($cats);

foreach ($cats as $cat)
  echo "\n id_category = " .$cats['id_category'] . " name = " . $category['name'];

?>
