The Power of this component

A extremely powerful part of this component is the usage of import-filters  called 'callback' functions. These functions allow for manipulating the data before it's inserted into the database. Common problems in datafeeds are the variety in spelling of items ( TV - Television) and single plural ( T-Shirt - T-shirts). Import-filters functions can solve this.

System Requirements

The component has the same system requirements as joomla, in addition it requires curl or the php setting allow_url_fopen set on (prefered). The component is tested against the latest version of joomla 1.5 and 1.7

Some hosts prevent outgoing http request, this is a showstopper. There is a simple test script to test the basics: req-test.zip, put the containing php script on your server and load it.

For importing large feeds access to the command line version of php is recommended.

Old versions of mysql ( < 4.1.2) will not support database collation, this might result in problems with special characters.
