Import & Bstore function

[tipud +]

Hi
As my classifieds are mainly B2B i am interested in a Bstore module.
The bstore module was proposed for V3.1 but never materialised.

Also, the biggest problem i have with Ver3.1 is there is no import / export function. Any news if there will be at least an import function for ver4.

Regards and carry on the hard work.

Its been talked abotu many time but from a developer standpoint the problem with an import/export function is that every 68c site is different and every source or target for data is different.

Tasks like these are nearly impossible to automate because there are no fixed definitions of data sources and targets so they need to be very interactive. This in turn means that there needs to be a certain level of user knowledge so that they can guide the process and frankly most people who want to use something like this simply dont have the knowledge.

For those that do have the knowledge, they dont really need the import/export feature because they have the knowledge to construct a query to extract/insert the data they need.

Thanks for the insight Larry

I at least know that it is possible.
I guess i have to find someone that knows a bit of SQL.
