flexicontent Adapter for CMDealAggregator

Hello,

I m using the CMDealAggregator component to extract and classify contents(deals) from many source.

The CMDealAggregator work very fine but it doen't meet all my needs.

I need to convert all the extracted content deals to Flexi content automatically just before to send the data to databases. is there any possibility to do this?

Sorry for my English. French will be better

Best regards

hello did you try FLEXIimport by netassopro ?
you can import export by cron task

thank you for your answer,
Not yet! will try the FLEXIimport by netassopro later.

CMDealAggregator component use parser to read and extract from xml and rss but also from html files.

do u think that it possible to do somthing like this with the FLEXIimport?

with flexi import you can import xml/csv content in your item (creation and update) in FLEXIcontent with cron job
FLEXIcontent can import CSV (but without cron)
actualy FLEXIcontent can't import html ...

ok thank you again.

i will give a try and see if it is convinient for me.

here an example of an xml file wich contain deals informations:

xml.adresult.ch/deindeal/deindea ... ealall.xml

just to give an idea of what i want to do.

Regards

Hello

if you can export CMDealAggregator data in a CSV file,

then you maybe able to import them with the built-in FLEXIcontent CSV import view (yes FLEXIcontent comes with its own built-in CSV import)


1. you may have to create some FLEXIcontent custom fields before importing to match the data columns CMDealAggregator
2. you will have to change the column names of CSV file
3. possibly more maniputlation of CSV file ?

-- then you can configure the FLEXIcontent CSV import view to match the format of the CSV file, CSV import has helpful format error checking and a "preview" step, that will allow you to view if CSV file was parsed properly
