    Hello,
    By importing products from a feed.xml file (External / Affiliate product) I want to simultaneously import attributes from url address.

    I am using this code to add custom attributes:

    function att_contents( $url ) {
   $response = wp_remote_get( $url );
	$DOM = new DOMDocument();
	$DOM->loadHTML($response);
	
	$Header = $DOM->getElementsByTagName('dt');
	$Detail = $DOM->getElementsByTagName('dd');

	foreach($Header as $NodeHeader) 
	{
		$aDataTableHeaderHTML[] = trim($NodeHeader->textContent);
	}
	
	$i = 0;
	$j = 0;
	foreach($Detail as $sNodeDetail) 
	{
		$aDataTableDetailHTML[$j][] = trim($sNodeDetail->textContent);
		$i = $i + 1;
		$j = $i % count($aDataTableHeaderHTML) == 0 ? $j + 1 : $j;
	}
	
	for($i = 0; $i < count($aDataTableDetailHTML); $i++)
	{
		for($j = 0; $j < count($aDataTableHeaderHTML); $j++)
		{
			$aTempData[$i][$aDataTableHeaderHTML[$j]] = $aDataTableDetailHTML[$i][$j];
		}
	}
	$aDataTableDetailHTML = $aTempData; unset($aTempData);
	print_r($aDataTableDetailHTML);
}

    and have this result: screenshot

    How to split the result into separate fields: screenshot

    Thanks.

    Hi @reniak

    How to split the result into separate fields: screenshot

    My suggestion for this would be to use the pmxi_saved_post hook to programmatically add the attributes to the product, rather than using our user interface: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/.

    If that’s not possible, you’d have to add all possible attributes to the import template and use functions in each name/value field to output the data. If you do this, I’d strongly suggest putting the results of the att_contents() call in an option (see: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Options_API) and extracting the data from that when possible (to avoid so many calls to the external URL). Be sure to clear the option as each post is saved/updated using the pmxi_saved_post hook.

    Thanks for the reply,
    the most likely is to add the properties to the user interface.

    You might be a little more accurate when you say that:
    “I’d strongly suggest putting the results of the att_contents() call in an option (see: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Options_API) and extracting the data from that when possible”

    Hi @reniak

    You might be a little more accurate when you say that:
    “I’d strongly suggest putting the results of the att_contents() call in an option (see: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Options_API) and extracting the data from that when possible”

    Basically I mean that you should store the results of this call for each record:

    $response = wp_remote_get( $url );

    Here’s some untested example code to explain:

    // See if the data has already been saved
$response = get_option( 'my_saved_response' );

if ( ! $data ) {
    // If it hasn't been, go ahead and make the call
    $response = wp_remote_get( $url );

    // store the result in an option so you don't have to retrieve it over and over
    update_option( 'my_saved_response', $response );
}

// do the rest of your operations in the function here

    Then you’d use our hook to erase the saved response as each record is saved so that you can re-do the request for each product:

    add_action( 'pmxi_saved_post', 'my_clear_response', 10, 1 );

function my_clear_response( $id ) {
    delete_option( 'my_saved_response' );
}

    Please keep in mind that this is untested and possibly broken code, it’s only meant to explain the idea.

    Thanks again for the reply,
    The code indicates it works but i have this error:

    “Warning, mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: data in ….wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/functions.php on line…”

    Thank you

    Hi @reniak

    You can fix that warning by changing $data to $response.
