CSV import by script php

[Totti]

Hello,
you can call the function to import csv from a php script ?

What exactly do you want to do ? To call functions via php scripts it is better to use the webservice. If you want to import regularly a csv, so you should use a cron.

I want to call code from the csv import function, passing it the field mappings and the file to upload.

In this case you should use and code webservice API.

I would like to directly use the class that uses prestashop to import the csv.

[selectshop.at]

Than create a csv, load this to your server and import it with native function on Tab: "advanced parameters -> import csv -> load csv -> map the fields -> import".

 

If you want to make changes on the class, than you should override the native script /classes/CSV.php

 

Automatic import you can only do with a cronjob added to your server, or with own coded webservice script.

how do you?

I would like to draw a link where I pass the name of the csv upload and mapping.

Oh sorry, yes in this case not possible, cause you have to map the field before, which is a case for a webservice.

 

Another possibility for automatic import is to use Presta Store Manager + Automatic Import module. Whit this you can automatize your import for each csv added for download on the net.

[Totti]

But this program does not call at the end of classes prestashop ?

 

Thanks.

No, Presta Store Manager has a direct connector to the database and automatic import module (is an extra module) is a service you map once and than automatically your csv is imported one/or more times per day/week, etc.

Is like to have your data base update more than one time automatically with data from your supplier for ex. You can update all possible fields, not only the one Prestashop is calling.
