External url use in Prestashop module

[Codify Solutions]

Hello everyone,

 

I have created a module and I want that feed will display inside my module from my site using XML feed. For that I have given my site feed url in the module. When I submitted module Prestashop technical team reject module due to external url.

 

I thought an idea that while installing module means in Install function I will store that url in configuration variable in DB and later I will use it. Is that possible ?

 

Please help anyone if any idea.

 

Thanks!

It's against PrestaShop Addon's terms and conditions to link to external websites. Your module's support link must also be the link to PrestaShop Addon's contact form provided on your module's page in your seller account.

PrestaShop may also (temporarily or permanently) delist a Contributor in the event of a breach of one or more of the provisions of the Terms and Conditions by the Contributor, particularly in the following cases:

 

(v) Redirection by the Contributor of internet users from the PrestaShop website to other commercial or non-commercial websites promoting similar or identical products to Addons;

Hi Rocky,

 

Thanks for your answer. Can do like this to read xml feed from my module folder and then link my xml content title to any document/pdf inside my module.

so People can know what we are doing and offering to them ?

 

Is that Possible ?

 

Thanks!

Sure, you can try that. I wouldn't expect PrestaShop Addons to complain, since it's not linking to an external site. Let me know what they say?

 

The only problem is that your feed won't be updated unless you release a new update to your module. I'm also not sure how PrestaShop Addons would react if you updated your module only to update the XML files and not fix any bugs.

Yes, that is my problem

 

Because xml feed have to update periodically with offers what we give to the customers.

 

Lets see. I will make changes and try to submit module again.

 

Thanks for you cooperation.
