Kevin,

We have just finished developing an order import program that uses Magento’s API to create the orders in CounterPoint SQL v8.3.9 and then change the status in Magento. You can read more about it here and feel free to contact me through the site if you have any interest.

Kevin – I stopped a LONG time ago. I don’t think I even have the code anymore. Looking back now, it was such a piece of junk anyway, you really wouldn’t want it.

Hey Josh.

I assume that you’ve stopped the development of the import script … is there any chance that one might get to use your script and maybe change it to fit my own needs ?

that would save me a lot of time and I would greatly appreciate it !

please let me know !

Regards

Tim, I actually went to work for another company before I even got started on the integration.

Krishna, I bailed on the import script a long time ago. For one, I wasn’t getting any support from the community besides “Are you done yet!?”, and for two, the API is really good enough for all my uses. I would suggest utilizing the API.

Josh, you mentioned that you started doing some work integrating Magento with CounterPoint SQL. How far did you get on that? Do you have any documentation left over from the project? We’re trying to synchronize inventory between Magento and CounterPoint, and have only really had success pulling data from CP, not adjusting back into it. Any pointers you have would be appreciated.

websafe,

Sorry, but I stopped development of this long ago. There are just too many challenges, and no good support from the community. The method I used just wrote directly to the database, bypassing all Magento code. It was dirty and not flexible. I don’t even think I have that code anymore.

Hello! Sounds nice, but You have no time… Can You please just share the method You used to update import products in 18 seconds? Using $mageProduct = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’); …. takes loooooong. I have about 10000 products, it takes HOURS or even DAYS….
TIA
