Hi ubercart dev's

I'm in a pickle because one, I'm not the greatest coder and two I'm unsure of how to do this.

I have a live site set up here: http://www.e-techcomputers.com
Now if you browse through my website, when you get to the product page their is a section for Accessories. I need some help implementing this section. I kind of want it to look like this: http://vistek.ca/store/CameraLenses/230451/sigma-af-18200mm-f3563-dc-os-...

I've made a request here: http://www.ubercart.org/forum/ideas_and_suggestions/4525/accessories_blo...
No one has seem to reply though.

------------------------------------------------

Secondly I need to get some sort of product cvs or xml exporting support for www.shopping.com and other price comparison websites.

I also have requested some help here: http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/5460/marketing_csv_xml_export_prod...

So any ideas / quotes for helping me out would be great! Thanks, - Justin

For the accessories block, have you considered a Drupal module such as similar by terms (http://drupal.org/project/similarterms)? I think you could make that work if you tagged the products and their accessories correctly.

I may get back to on assisting with the price comparison exports if I get time.

Yes, I agree with Turgid - the way to do this would be to leverage the taxonomy infrastructure.

Thanks, I'll have a look at this module. Is there a way to run a php file that exports ur MySQL database to csv? Would that be an easier way?

not sure if this is what you want, but if you can create a VIEW of the data you want to export, then you can use the Bonus: Views Export module to export that view as a csv. you would probably want to restrict access to the view to just admin or whoever needs the data. i'm using that module now in a non-ubercart site and it works perfectly.

This actually works quite nicely for the most part, how would i go about getting the product url and the image url into a view though?

you can use the google base module...

It will make a txt file (you can then make it a csv).
