Does anyone know if there is a plugin for importing data via XML feed?

I would also need this plugin to allow for modification/updating and deleting of imported links.

Hi,

There is no plugin I have (I mainly work with CSV/pipe delimited files). It wouldn't be too hard to write something to read an XML file, and convert it into links (and update/modify a listing if it already exists) - however, there is no simple "plugin" that would do this (that I know of)

Cheers

Thanks Andy,

I know of your CustomDataImportGen plugin. so i guess what i need to know is if it would be simple to modify the code to work with and XML feed (pull and push mechanism).

I am also worried about security. IE. i will need to limit each feed to a specific number of links it can upload. Make sure that a particular feed can only modify links it uploaded. Assign each feed a unique security key so no one else can upload links on their behalf...

Hi,

Nah, I'm afraid my CustomDataImportGen won't work for XML, sorry.


That wouldn't be too hard. Basically, assign the LinkOwner a feed name (i.e on a per-feed basis). Then, it would need some kind of ID number (maybe a product ID, or whatever you are trying to import) - so it knows what record to update.

Cheers

Andy has just written an xml import script for me and it works very well. Worth the $ unless you've got lots of time to spend figuring it out for yourself... and the concentration
