Automated products import (and other features)

[peorthyr]

Hi all, i would like to make a page "outside" prestashop, wich will import products (and probably export the invoices, but this is next)

i need a page oustide prestashop becouse i need to get this page executed by CRON, this is mandatory.

well, the idea i've got is this, first, a page with this code on the beginning:

<?php
define('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_', getcwd());
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/../config/config.inc.php');

include(PS_ADMIN_DIR.'/functions.php'); //is this necessary?

wich would probably import all classes in my new page.

then i would like to "fire" the function that import the csv (wich i will have in the import directory, with ALL the columns required by prestashop, also if they are empty)

is this going to work? any advice on that?

i've done something similar on joomla, with pages that use the functions present there but outside the joomla instance... is that possible also here? and avcice will be gratefull.
