Hi we purchased the plugin yesterday a might I say it looks fantastic and well worth the money.

We have a few questions regarding the feed import and export. We are a real estate broker based in Spain. We have our properties on a property portal called kyero what we would like to do is export our properties from this portal.

They are able to provide an xml feed http://advertise.kyero.com/assets/kyero_export_spec.xml

Please could you explain how we would be able to import from this feed

Many Thanks

I would suggest downloading vielerets and looking into this - I have personally never done a xml import but I do know that I have seen where this did make connections with the ability to do such....

Then you will need to map out all the fields to match your xml - so for eample you would simply need to dump the fileds that we have as default fields and re add only the fields that would be within the xml files so that the data is matched properly - this process takes a couple of hrs typically.

...all in all this is something that I know that can be done but it just not something that I myself have done so I have no real experiences that i can share on how to do it. I would suggest though that it is something that you could post on a site like gaf - getafreelancer.com and could have someone write you a custom script to handle the import and the cron to automate the process if this is something that needs to be done regularly...but I would look at vielerets first.
