View Full Version : Upload Product feed only

Its a real pain for us to have to do a full upload every time our stock levels change. We often do template and script changes, but are forced to drop that and revert back to working settings just to knock a product out of stock.

We've got around this by automating the creation of a product feed which is uploaded to the server every 15 mins. The customer is prevented from adding any newly out of stock items with an error message stating stock levels have changed. I'm not a Perl expert and it wasn't too difficult to do - it would be great if Actinic had this functionality out-of-the-box.

Thanks - this is a really good suggestion. You could do it by changing the *.cat files rather than the HTML.

I'll pass this onto the team.
