Hahn Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Is it possible to upload/import a xml file with products toyour catalog, so i don't have to add all products and pictures manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broholm Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am in the midle of doing that myself - but I think you need to transform the XML-file to a CSV-file to use the standard import utility. So I am writing a piece of PHP doing that. But if others have simpler solutions I would like to hear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broholm Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 If you have done a little coding I can give you a PHP-example you can start with. It is actually very few lines, that are needed in order to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ah okay, that would be nice, is it a script? or something i have to edit in a file?Would it be possible to get some kind of converter from xml to csv? or will the data in the xml file be messed up in the csv file?

presta-dyr Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have spent a lot of time writing a tool that can import XML (and CSV) files. My challenge has been that the XML file contains more than 17000 items. I have observed and solved 3 problems:# Just resizing the images takes way too long time. The server I use (and it's not slow) can fetch (via http) and resize 1 image per second.# It takes way too long time to import the products even if the images are dropped.# The XML file only associates 5 categories to the products. That won't do. I prefer max. 20 products in one category. I want sub-categories (and sub-sub) to be created automatically.My tool still lacks some features but it's 90 % finished. Would you be willing to pay for a tool like mine (and help with the installation)?/Kjeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrii Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You can open xml file with ms excel, save as csv separated with ; Now you can import csv file in admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presta-dyr Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Typically you cannot convert XML files to CSV files because the XML files are too complex. Some of the XML files I have worked with have complex structures like multiple categories/sub-categories and attribute groups/attributes./Kjeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrii Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I do not agree with it. I have got xml file with more than 10 attributes and 3 sub-categories and it works. But it is not ideal solution, i would prefere some xml import module. I think, that you (Kjeld) offer some module for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBaseball34 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yes that is the problem with trying to import anything, even CSV files, because the format is not standard.It's too bad there aren't any EDI standards that vendors must follow. There is one standard called NAXML (http://xml.coverpages.org/naxml.html) but it is geared more towards products for convenience stores, although it could be used. It is managed by the NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores).I've written several applications that use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
