Open Icecat Magento Implement.
One or more php classes that synchronize a productdatabase in remote xml-files to a mysql database.
Using: Magento and Open ICEcat (http://www.icecat.biz).
What we need?
- One or more php classes that fetch the remote xml files, parses the xml files, and checks what data needs to be inserted/udateted/deleted in de mysql table in an efficient and safe way. The class(es) will have to run once a week, and:
- compare the created- and updated attributes in the xml files with the created- and updated fields of the mysql tables, and only fetch data from the xml-files that has been changed
- delete data from the mysql tables that exists no longer in de xml-files
- update data in the mysql tables, if the corresponding data in the xml fields has changed
- insert data in the mysql tables that is new in the xml files
- the class(es) need to check if the remote xml files are available before data gets modified in the mysql tables(otherwise the mysql tables wil be emptied if the xml files are temporary unavailable).
We do not need all categories, but it needs to be able to get any.
About you? You communicate very very well, DAILY updates and responsive when asked questions.
What we do NOT want? A programmer who sees this as a challenge, something you could learn from. We need you to master these skills, no questions asked.
We hire you to create this, we do not hire you to educate on systems and programming.
A deadline or agreed upon milestone for testing must be met, or no payment.
Sorry for all these demands, but we’ve had projects go from “done in 1 week” to “never heard from before after chasing for months”, unfinished projects that do not work etc..
