OK, this might sound kind of weird but I need to figure out how to create a RSS Feed for my webpage. I am creating (as some of you may recall) a e-Commerce site that I will not name (so I don't get in trouble w. the Mods . Anyway, what I am looking for is a way to take a file I have on my PC (a CSV file) that is updated daily and using that to update my e-Commerce site. The main thing I want it to do is update how many I have in-stock of all the items on my site. i.e. If the CSV file said I have 0 of Product A in stock and yesterday I had 5, the RSS feeder would update my website so when people look for product A they see it is out-of-stock. In case it is any help I am using Dreamweaver MX to create my site. Peace, Pop Smith
Oh, ok I was thinking they worked differently then. Is it possible to do what I want though without me having to manually update the site every day with the amount of items in-stock? Using a different method of course. If someone knows how to do this please let me know. Peace, Pop Smith
Well, you would need some kind of website code. I beleive it is CGI and if not that then Javascript. I'm no good at these so sorry but I can't do them.
There might actually be another solution. Does your CSV file contain the information that you are uploading to the website? If so then you could probably set up your FTP program to upload the CSV file to your server (website) any multiple times. You can set it up so it uploads your CSV file to the server every lets say 1 minute. That way the site remains update. I'm not sure how you would make it do it automatically but I'm guessing theres a way.
I just remembered that you could probably make your FTP client sync with your server (website) if it has that feature. If it doesn't take a look at this FTP client: http://www.filepedia.com/network_software/ftp_software/flashfxp.cfm . I'm not sur eif it has syncing but probably does flash sounds like it would sync the server with itself.
