Kelkoo feed.

[paulbeckett]

Hi

I would like to create a feed for Kelkoo but they require information like Brand, Product etc.

Luckily each of my products has this unique information within the extended properties (custom properties - e.g. CUSTOMNAV:BRANDNAME etc.) but I am not sure it is possible to extract this along with the standard product information such as price and short description?

Is this something that requires Crystal Reports 8.5?

No, Crystal Reports is only needed for customising report files (adding new fields, rearranging the existing report items, adding a Logo).

You need something like a Customised version of the BC Ness Feed programme or perhaps a customised product from Mole End.

Paul,

I've just created my own feed for Kelkoo using Access and also using Custom Properties etc for brand etc. It certainly works, if you know access well. Do you have a copy of access?

Hi

Yes I have Access. How do you create a feed using this? Is it complicated?

Paul

Paul,

It can be, depends on how you are set up within Actinic. Contact me offline as it's probably too complicated to discuss here.

We have a kelkoo feed available in our product mash program. We use custom variables for products and sections to allow the extra fields needed by Kelkoo to be generated.

You can find a free trial and more info at this URL:

Note that there are two formats for the feed, one for people using the free feed (which isn't currently available from kelkoo) and one for full merchants (ie: fee paying merchants).

Jan - thats great - I will give your free trial a go - it looks like I will be making multiple purchases from you as I want to buy your one stop marketing soon.

Dave - I have sent you an email as I would be very keen to learn how to extract the Actinic information using Access. This could be useful for other reasons - not just feeds. Please mail me at officeATkjbeckett.com to see if we can talk or maybe IM some time?
