Title: importing xml/csv/svc (password protected)
Post by: tdesws on December 10, 2015, 19:42:03 PM
hi, I want to build a webshop (i have joomla 3, latest version of VM), my supplier gave me a xml link of products, but it's protected (link to file, user, password, license key).

How do import it to my site, just opening the link, won't show anything.
If necessary I can downgrade joomla to 2.5

I assume you need to access it by a POST .. e.g. cURL etc that can pass the variables

or a simple url with the variables

J version has nothing to do with it

u then need something to process the xml.. csvi etc or a bespoke plugin

then, just like when your washing machine dies or your dog needs a new false leg you employ someone with the skills..
I really don't understand where the concept that all web based skills are free, comes from....   :(
