I am trying to find a capable system which will be able to load and display affiliate data feeds but more importantly that can include a link url for my images and buy url. Can virtuemart do this for me? My feeds are CSV formated. Can anyone help me on this topic?
Hello,
You could export your products using http://www.csvimproved.com/ to CSV or XML and then using your plugin or custom module to display that data.
An other way is to use json or make upgrade your feed plugin/module to load the vm product content.
Thanks for you reply. But is there a virtuemart model/component that i could use to load and display my affiliate product feeds on my joomla 2.5 website?
Hello,
You could study developer resources on wiki page http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki
There you should find vital information how you will be able to create a custom plugin or use product plugin http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Product_Plugins
to load tha feed you want...
Not sure i am on the right path for what you wanna do, may be someone else guideline you better.
Last you could use a ready one extension from OpenGlobal: http://extensions.virtuemart.net/component/sobi2/?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=12&sobi2Id=787&Itemid=2
or the following one
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/component/sobi2/?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=11&sobi2Id=3&Itemid=2
Update: That is for VM
Notice that i have never user these extensions.
Hope helps you out.
