I have to import my products data in bigcommerce using csv file. Right now i am using create product api method but i have an issue of category while uploading product.
In csv file i have category data by name not by id. But in API parameter category should be pass by array of id. Is their any way that i use category by name in PHP script as parameter ?
<product>
<name>xbox</name>
<type>physical</type>
<description>this is a test item</description>
<price>499.99</price>
<categories>
<categories>DIAHATSU/ROCKY/F70/AXLE</categories>
</categories>
<availability>available</availability>
<weight>0.5</weight>
</product>
I have a method of
.GetOrInsertGetCategory(String name)
I supply a string, it either returns the existing integer value of the category (via a select service call to BigCommerce) or it inserts a new one (again, via the BigCommerce service) and returns the integer value.
I tried being cheap about the categories but it's fairly core to product insertion and if you don't get it right then you end up doing a ton of manual category organizing via the /admin/ interface, and that ain't no fun.

I am working on a project that integrates Imebra inside an android application. The application is supposed to extract all the data from a given DICOM file and put them into a .xml file. I need a little bit of help with it. For example, I don't know how to get all the VR tags that the given DICOM has, instead of getting them one by one using tag ids.
Thank you for your help.
Load the file using CodecFactory.load(filename).
Then you can use DataSet.getTags() to retrieve a list of tags stored into the DICOM structure.
The returned class TagsIds is a list containing all the TagId: scan each tag ID and retrieve it via DataSet.getString() (to retrieve the value as string) and DataSet.getDataType() to retrieve its VR.
When DataSet.getString() fails then you are dealing with a sequence (an embedded DICOM structure) which can be retrieved with DataSet.getSequenceItem().
You can use the static method DicomDictionary.getTagName() to get a description of a particular tag.
I have a view in my 1010data base and it has created by someone else I want to identify its description and is their a direct api call to get that information.
Already tried with following Commands. it gave following errors.
using dir api endpoint.
<out>
<rc>15</rc>
<msg>Not a directory: xxx.views.test</msg>
</out>
using tabinfo endpoint.
<out>
<rc>22</rc>
<msg>Not currently implemented for Quick Query: XXX.views.test</msg>
</out>
Is their a command to see the structure of view and related tables?
I can retrieve column names using querydata api end point but i cannot get informations related to linked tables.
Is their a command or endpoint to get this information.
Something like Show create view in Mysql :)
Have you tried gettab ?
documentation is here:
https://www2.1010data.com/documentationcenter/beta/XMLAPI/TableManagement/XMLAPI-gettab.html
It says there "If the table is a query (i.e., type is VIEW, PARAM, MERGED or TOLERANT) then the tab element will contain ops and dependencies elements. Any dependencies on other tables (i.e., links, merges) are available in the element, which contains a list of table references if the table is a Quick Query or a merged table."
Can you please confirm if that works for you?
Thank you!
I'm creating a new module for Prestashop where users can design their own product from a third party service. When the user later adds the product to their cart, I would like to save a ID that I get from this Third Party Service where the user designed their product.
I guess the best way to do this is to create a Customization Textfield within Prestashop called "designID". Now I want to know how I save data to this field from module development in Prestashop instead of letting the users manually fill in the data.
So basically... How do I add data to these customizable fields from within a Prestashop module, when the user adds the product to their cart?
These customization fields are used if you are simple user and you are not designing a module. Using it to save the designID will be just a hack.
Since you're creating a new module my advice is to keep the 3rd party ID in a newly created database table, which will match the id_product, id_design, id_cart, id_order, etc...
You can hook to "actionCartSave" and add the record with the matching ids, and all the other required data at your table.
If you want to stick to that Customization feature, add a sample field and review the following database tables:
ps_customization
ps_customization_field
ps_customization_field_lang
ps_customized_data
and replicate the changes when you receive the 3rd party ID.
If all your products will be customized, consider adding the required data in ps_customization_field & ps_customization_field_lang (the table for the field structure) during the module installation, so after it's installed you can just fill
ps_customization & ps_customized_data (the tables for the field data)
PrestaShop does not have proper API for adding customizations, only for retrieving data, so you'll have to write the SQL queries yourself. Just review the ProductController for the ps_customization & ps_customized_data changes and the AdminProductsController for ps_customization_field & ps_customization_field_lang.
Do not forget to remove the Customization markup code from your product & cart templates.
I was able to find this out by myself by first trying to use Customization for a couple of hours without any success.
So basically how my module work is that the customer can open a popup iframe to a third party design tool, the customer then save the design in the iframe, which then sends the data to the parent window (The Prestashop Window).
So to store this I did the following:
Add a new column to the database table ps_cart_product
Hook into any display-hook on the product page and check if any post data is send containing the data from the third party module. If so, then:
if(isset($_POST['thirdparty'])){
$id_product = (int)Tools::getValue('id_product');
if (!$this->context->cart->id){
$this->context->cart->add();
if ($this->context->cart->id)
$this->context->cookie->id_cart = (int)$this->context->cart->id;
}
$this->context->cart->updateQty(1, $id_product);
if(!Db::getInstance()->update('cart_product', array('id_design'=> pSQL(trim($_POST['thirdparty']))) ,'id_cart = '.$this->context->cart->id.' AND id_product = '.(int)Tools::getValue('id_product') ))
$this->context->controller->_errors[] = Tools::displayError('Error: ').mysql_error();
}
So basically first I check if POST is set, then I check if any cart exist, if cart does not exist then add a new cart with ->add() (This function took hours to find, 0 documentation). updateQty() is used to update the cart with the new product.
The last part is the SQL query that updates the value of id_design column with the data that is send from the third party.
I am using Kentico 7.0, ecommerce version.
I would like to create a sidebar menu that shows the eshop's top selling product categories. I am a kentico newbie so I am looking around for the correct terminology/guidance so that I can dig deeper.
The ideal approach in my opinion would be to be able to add a field on categories, which is used to filter categories for the menu. This way I can either have some kind of job that updates the fields automatically based on sales, OR provide a manual override for an admin to specify whether a category will show up on the menu. Of course some kind of weight would also be needed to specify menu item ordering.
Which way should I look?
HAve you tried using the "Top N products by sales" web part that is available? you can configure from which part of the content tree (products) it should pull the data - in the Path property you can use also a path expression or macro that is resolved dynamically so the web part can display different products in different sections.
There are many ways to code for Kentico. I personally find the API is a bit clunky and on quite a few occasions I was surprised that a method didn't exist requiring extra calls to get the required results. I do use the Kentico API more when putting data in to Kentico. Pulling it out I use the following.
STORED PROC
Write a SQL stored procedure to get the top X categories - GetTop5Categories.
Look at the COM_* tables, specifically COM_OrderItem, linking OrderItemSKUID back to COM_SKU (or View_COM_SKU_Joined if you need to get to the IA).
This will get you the top selling products with a group by, a count, a top X and an order by.
Then you can link to other tables such as CMS_Category or CMS_Document (depending on how you setup your categories). The bonus of this is that procs are compiled, you do all your data manipulation there (it's what MSSQL specialises in!) and you only send back what you need to in the result set.
DOMAIN (leveraging EF)
I usually create a separate class library project myproject.domain and put an Entity Framework edmx in there mapped back to the Kentico DB. Add the proc to the EDMX, then create a Function Import MyProject_GetTop5Categories from your newly imported proc.
WEB
add a reference to the domain project from your web project, and a 'using at the top of the codebehind of the control.
using myproject.domain;
then in Page_Load for the control:
...
if(!IsPostBack)
{
var entities = new MyProjectModelContainer();
var list = entities.MyProject_GetTop5Categories().ToList();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<ul>");
foreach(var category in list)
{
sb.Append("<li><a href='"+category.Link+"'>" + category.Name + "</a></li>");
}
sb.Append("<ul>");
listPlaceHolder = sb.ToString();
}
handwritten so probably a typo or two in there :)

Is there a way to get an item in another currency using the eBay API?
Very simple. All you have to do is change the site ID parameter. Since you didn't specify a language, I'm going to assume you're doing this HTTP-GET and just parsing the XML. The same principles will apply regardless of how you do it, programatically or not.
For a URL:
"http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping"
?callname=GetSingleItem
&responseencoding=XML
&appid=[APPID]
&siteid=2 <------------This, for example, is Canada's siteid. 0 is US. This will change the currency returned under < ConvertedCurrentPrice>
&version=839
&ItemID=181195344321
Put it all together and you get this copy/paste-friendly "http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetSingleItem&responseencoding=XML&appid=[APPID]&siteid=2&version=839&ItemID=181195344321"
Make sure to use your app ID as the parameter.
You can use this call for currency change:
Currency type can be changed in Ebay while listing an item using Add Item call in Ebay's trading API.

Thanks CedCommerce
You can and it's actually very simple. You can use the Shopping API GetSingleItem.
Depending on what currency you are interested in, all you have to do is change the SiteID on which you are making the call. For example, if you want to get the price in EUR, you can set the SiteID to 3(UK), or 77(Germany). You will also have to set the IncludeSelector to "Details". This way, you will get a response that will contain the following fields.
<ConvertedCurrentPrice currencyID="GBP">68.55</ConvertedCurrentPrice>
<CurrentPrice currencyID="USD">92.9</CurrentPrice>
where the CurrentPrice is the original price of the listing, on the ebay site the listing was made, and the ConvertedCurrentPrice is the price of the listing on the site that corresponds to the SiteID you supplied.
You can see a full list of SiteIDs with the currencies they are using here
