Ad importer
« on: December 12, 2013, 02:48:05 am »
Hi all,

I've got an xml source that I'm wanting to parse and import to my website on a regular basis (daily). Currently, I have a script to parse the ads into a format accepted by the ad importer plugin, but I'm wanting to know if there's anyway I can script the ad importer; call from the server's CLI.

Is this possible?? If not, I'll pay someone to get something like this working.

Cheers

I do not know Ad Importer Plugin too much so I do not know what format is required.
But if you have all information about listing in xml, there should be not problem with conversion... only lot of programming work  :D

Yeah, the XML contains all the information in the format required by the plugin

So you can do some parser in php that will convert file from xml to that you need.
There are tons of topics on internet how to do it.

I've got a parser that does that already. I just want a way to then call the import function via cli so I don't have to manually point and click on the admin panel.
