Hi,

One of my affiliate networks provides product datafeeds in CSV, TAB Delimited, XML formats etc but doesnt provide RSS product feeds.

Is there anyway I can convert these into RSS compatible feeds ? I appreciate I would have to keep updating the data feed to get new products etc but I just need to get the data feeds into a RSS compatible format when I download them.


Cheers,
 


You could do it with php pretty easy. I used to do this with SAS datafeeds and then upload the rss to wordpress blogs.

If your trying to do this with a SAS feed let me know and I might be able to hook you up with the script.
 
jdog, do you run into a lot of records on the SAS datafeeds where the full image and the thumbnail links are reversed?
 
I'm working with some datafeeds and wordpress has been a great environment to work in. I have been looking for scripts or plug-ins. I have only found 'WordPress Data Feed Import' and it looks good, but I'm interested in any alternatives. Anyone have anything to offer?
 
I've recently been looking into importing feeds for Wordpress. Not sure if this is the plugin you were already referring to, but here is this: Wordpress CSV Plugin. This plugin costs 100.00 bucks, but it looks like there are some nice features. Here is a link to an earlier (i.e. less stable) version available for free. Import CSV free.

Anyone have other options? I'd be interested in hearing about other resources or methods related to this.

It's pretty easy to do if you know programming and databases, but if you don't know anything about them, then my option would not work. Anyway, what I would do is just dump the whole csv file into a mysql database and then query that database through a php script that will parse the data to make it an RSS file or look like one.
