I need a free icecat addon that can be found at http://oscommerce.com/community/contributions,5294 installed in my oscommerce shopping cart, i have many other addons installed so you need to back up files you will be working with before installing just in case of bugs, ad on should be installed tested and released within agreed specified time frame or refund will be provided.

Project title: Oscommerce /Magento distribution connector with ICEcat.biz ( i have attached the details in word doc)

This is the basic description. We would like to download all products details from ICEcat.biz site, which offers FREE products content. We are a company in France and we want you to install and configure all this on our server. We have not any e-commerce application running yet, so this can be a setup from scratch.

this is how we want…

from our supplier we will have our XML custom price feed which include, the followings:

* SKU#
* MPN#
* Manufacturer
* product title
* category
* short description
* Images

from ICEcat.biz we want the following:

* Product Specification
* Full descriptions
* UPC code
* Images

The Description from ICEcat will be presented in the description tab
The images from ICEcat will be presented in the description tab
The Specification from ICEcat will be presented in the Specification tab
The product reviews from ICEcat will be presented in the reviews Tab.
(if available on ICEcat)

I don’t want to download duplicate products, meaning I want the same product from my supplier and then that product details, specification, images from ICEcat.

I would like to upload new products from a distributor data feed
At the end of the project I expect to receive a data feed in TXT or CSV format

Basic points

Offers automated import

The purpose is to fully automate product offers import from distributors. Further extension of imports with adding new distris should be simple enough.

Import will need to have some mapping capabilities, which should be interfaced in the backoffice of the Magento. ICEcat can provide a categorization advise in most cases, but you have to be compatible with ICEcat category structure, which is multilevel and derived from UNSPSC. The same stands for manufacturers list.

Interface/screens required:
– Map vendors (from distri data into standard vendor)
– Map categories (from distri data into standard category)
– Distri import status screen (import dashboard)

Distri selector module

In case of multiple distributors connected, this module will be needed to resolve ambiguities in product assortment and optimize product coverage in shop.

It will create a best products selection, based on distri selection rules. Rules can sounds like:
- Find the best price among [SELECTION] offers

Where [SELECTION] could be defined by parameters:
- Manufacturer / Any manufacturer
- Category / Any category
- Partnumber

Assortment in the environment will be refreshed after every successful import job and / or in the end of batch session timeframe. Batch session timeframe = time when assortment updates in shop isn’t significant, e.g. from 01:00 till 07:00. This is to lower the server load.

Interface required:
- Distri selector rules input

ICEcat content import module

Content import module will import content from ICEcat XML repository. It will put it into a local database, and data will be shown on product details page.

Data to be imported are:
- Product names / descriptions
- Images / gallery / multimedia
- Specification
- Related products (x-selling / up-selling data)

Currently no backoffice interface is supposed for this data management, existing data storage tables should be used as much as possible.

Data will be stored in local database in a well-structured form, suitable for lookup and product comparison.

In the frontoffice there should be a possibility to compare selected products (in one category) and to find products matching certain criterias.

As soon as no backoffice for data management is supposed, all search settings are to be re-used as they are setup in ICEcat (ICEcat provides certain defaults, as you can see in www.icecat.biz)

The search will be filter-based

We open a new online store based on cs-cart. We want to integrate it with the system icecat.biz to have a list of products and descriptions. Then we want to integrate online store with three IT wholesalers to have their prices and availability. Wholesalers provide information in csv or xml

Hi

I have a zencart based website and i am looking to incorporate a really powerfull search facility for my site, default search options are not strong enough. my site has open icecat integration which means there are products /categories which are categorise through icecat and there are products which are not categorised by icecat.

Please contact me if you have done this project before.

Regards

Icecat and distributor inplementation into magento webshop

fully automated import/update of products datafile (or live synced)
icecat downloading of pictures/technical datasheets
mapping between datafile from distributor and icecat (vendors/categories) most are mapped automatically though.

load skin/template (already acquired by Silverthemes)

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..

Icecat and distributor inplementation into magento webshop

mapping between datafile from distributor and icecat (vendors/categories) most are mapped automatially though.

example sites:

http://butik.dk
http://shop.tjdata.dk

we have a Magento ecommerce site, we have about 40.000 product that we import from a .txt price list, now we would add to every product a details description using the data-sheets products from http://icecat.co.uk so, i think that this can be done using the manufactuer code present in both data-sheets and our price list, so we are looking for a php coder that can done this job, in additional we need also a cronjob that add data-sheets every night to new products.

Thanks
