Live XML Manager

A module for OpenCart 3 that allows you to create and maintain product feeds in XML, YML and CSV formats, load XML suppliers, update products and transfer the catalog between OpenCart stores.

With its help, you can upload products for marketplaces, advertising platforms, partners and client sites. Each export profile receives a permanent secure link with current prices, balances, characteristics, images and other information about the goods.

Export and import are combined in one manager. For each client, supplier or site, you can create a separate profile with its own set of products, filters, price formulas, field mappings and data processing rules.

Profiles of both directions are available on one page and are visually separated by color: export profilesare displayed with blue marks, imported ones with purple marks. The interface adapts to the width of the screen and does not reduce the working area of the settings.

In fact, you get a single control center for the export and import of product data in the administrative panel of the store.

Please note:
Importing custom XML requires initial configuration of field correspondence to the structure of a specific provider. It is impossible to automatically determine the purpose of all non-standard elements.  Import is performed manually from the profile; cron is used to update prepared export files. The XML source must be accessible via a direct HTTP/HTTPS link. Open sources and sources protected by HTTP Basic authorization are supported. The module does not represent a "magicwand", and setting it up requires time and knowledge. If you want, we can help you set it up to suit your needs. The estimated cost of setting it up for 1 feed is 5,000 rubles.

Examples of solved problems:

• Upload products of selected categories and manufacturers for the marketplace or individual client.
• Exclude products without reserve, products from certain manufacturers or items outside the specified price range.
• Add a markup to the export price, apply separate formulas for categories and manufacturers, then round the result.
• Create your own XML tags, nested elements, attributes and CSV columns to meet the requirements of a specific site.
• Create separate offers for product variants and upload characteristics, options and images.
• Provide each client with a permanent secure link with their own set of products and settings.
• Automatically update the prepared feed file via cron.
• Load a vendor catalog from YML or custom XML with non-standard structure, attributes and namespaces.
• Analyze XML, compare categories and manufacturers, and write parameters into product characteristics, options or fields.
• Transfer products, categories, images, characteristics, options and original currency prices between OpenCart stores.

• Assigning supplier parameters to characteristics, options, standard product fields or an ignore list.
• Nested filter constructor with groups of AND/OR conditions for selecting products by fields, categories and XML parameters.
• Sequential transformations of input data: replacing text, regular expressions, adding text, removing HTML, changing case and stripping spaces.
• Input price formula and recognition of numbers with dot, comma and thousand separators.
• Match products by SKU, model, EAN, UPC or MPN with secure backup search by other identifiers.
• Create new products and selectively update price, balance, name, description, manufacturer, categories, characteristics, options and images.
• Disable or reset product balances that have disappeared from the feed, with protection against erroneous or empty XML.

• Launch of launches with the number of created, updated, missed products and errors.
• Transfer of calculated and original currency prices with the installed module Liveopencart MultiCurrency.
• Saving large maps of categories, manufacturers,parameters and rules without data loss due to PHP limitation max_input_vars.
• Multilingual (default languages: Russian, English, Kazakh, Ukrainian).

Custom XML import constructor:

• A separate profile is created for each supplier with its own link, filters and field matches.
• When using standard Live XML or YML, manual configuration of most paths is not required.
• For non-standard XML, you can specify the product element and path to each OpenCart field.
• Supports nested elements, XML attributes, alternative paths via ||, relative XPath and spacesnames.
• Categories, images and characteristics can return multiple values.
• Before importing, you can check the first products and analyze the found categories, manufacturers and parameters without changing the catalog.

Example paths:

@id
title
prices/price
prices/price/@value
sku || vendorCode || @id
xpath:p:prices/p:price/@value

Cron setup:

• Save the export profile and enable the “Ready file (cron)” mode.
• Open the Cron tab and select a ready-made or custom schedule.
• Copy the finished command to the hosting scheduler or the full line to the system onecrontab.

The module generates a secure URL and ready-made commands, but the task itself must be added once to the hosting scheduler or server crontab.

Installation:
Download the ocmod file through the standard add-on installation.
Install the module.
Clear modifier cache.
Create an export or import profile.
Set up filters, price rules, field matches and data composition.
Save your profile.
To export, use the received permanent secure link.
To import, provide a direct HTTP/HTTPS link to the vendor's XML.
For large directories, enable file mode and configure cron.

Works on LiveStore 3, OCStore 3, Opencart 3. Standard template. For different admin panels and templates, modifications will be required, possibly for a fee.
