hi all,
i have a product data from a data collection (dc5) server and want it to be put as a product inside drupal commerce. the data doesn't have the exact named as the needed info. so i need to create a bridge.
but i need to know which table / field the data needs to be in to declare as a product?
or is there is a mentioned tutorial for this kind of things?
tq.
Hi, I already solve this.
Although quite orthodox in first glance, it works.
I'll try to clean the code messes first.
Fazrulhafiz,
Lots of ways to bring data into Commerce.
https://drupal.org/project/commerce_feeds
This will work with the Feeds module to bring in content from a specific source (uploaded CSV, RSS feed, etc) on a regular basis and update, add, and generally maintain changes from source to site.
https://drupal.org/project/commerce_migrate
This will work with the Migrate module to help you transform and tweak data and run a "migration" script that is designed more to be run once on a single data set, but can be much more powerful than the Feeds solution if you're comfortable with PHP and Object Oriented programming.
https://drupal.org/project/commerce_services
This will work with the Services module to help you open up an API that lets you do just about anything you could do on the backend of your Commerce store (create orders, create carts, checkout, create customer profiles, etc).

the feed that i'm talking about isn't from a file, it is translated directly from DC5 server using simplexml_load_string(curl_exec (curl_init())). and the xml created from DC5 doesn't have the required xml tag used by the example in commerce feeds.
i've trying to create a module that save the xml tag directly to the commerce db but I dont know which db it involves to make the DC5 item a product.

Would love it if you could document what you did for others benefit :D
Thanks,
I plan to but I need to finish up the project first.
