Help for Aimeos

Hi,

As I understand it, Aimeos will export orders ... though I'm not sure how. I go to orders, click download, then wait ... "your order will be ready in a few minutes" ... then nothing.

Anyway, ignoring that, I have a request to export product inventory to CSV. Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks!
-Scott.

Exporting orders is done via a message queue and a cronjob cares about creating the export file to avoid running into an out-of-memory or execution time limit. You have to set up a scheduler task that runs the job controllers regularly:

No, only product import via CSV is possible and exports are in XML format due to the complexity of the product structure.

If you want to export orders in an individual format, then how about writing some PHP code which selects the entries out of the database and writes them to a file?
You can call this script with a cronjob.

Since the required export format as well as the file name in my project was quite different to the default export of aimeos, I went this way and it works great.
