Displaying CSV Feeds in Wordpress

grobinso · 12-10-08

Sorry if this is a stupid question but i've not really worked with Wordpress before and have just spent the last couple of days trying out new themes and finding my way round the software.

One thing i was wondering is if it is possible to display products from a .CSV file (product feed) in wordpress and how to go about it ?

Cheers

Not tried it myself, but this might help - How To Make An Affiliate Shop Using Data Feeds In Wordpress or at least point you in the right direction

Contact Jason about his Import CSV Plugin.

Import CSV Pro - Import Affiliate Datafeeds and Custom CSV Files

It's a paid for plugin but very effective.

Apart from building PHP scripts to handle affiliate feeds, I use Navicat (navicat.com) to handle all my MySQL data, it can import from almost anything (excel, csv, .txt, html, access, .db) and stick it in mysql, it can then export into almost anything as well, well worth the £45 it costs..

This is probably more of a heavy-weight solution rather than an addon but you could try AffiliStore. I use this for a few web properties. Their customer support via forum is awesome.

Omicrontau - that doesn't answer the question..

Even if you add the Affilistore to a sub-folder or a sub-domain, it doesn't use the Wordpress CMS.

I'm not saying anything bad about Affilistore ( I used to use it myself ), it doesn't answer the question though.

I second the vote for ImportCSV. I've been using it for a few weeks now and am really happy with it. There is a free version but the paid one has by far more functionality.

Thanks for all the replies, some good suggestions which i will follow up over the next day or so.

Thanks again
