xml_export_documentation:xml_format [FINDOLOGIC documentation]

Our toolkit libflexport which exports product data according to the XML export patterns of this page is now available via the following Github repository. https://github.com/findologic/libflexport/tree/master

If your are using XML-export for the data synchronization between your shop data and Findologic, the XML-data provided by you has to be formatted in the way that is described below.

Unless you have an enterprise-contract the shop data will be imported by Findologic automated daily at a fixed time between 01:00 CET and 06:00 CET.

Export script can be written with Findologic export library or by your own.

You can find a detailed description of all available tags in our XML-patterns below.

The latest XML scheme for validation can be found on Github: Findologic XML-Schema. Check your XML against the scheme and see if your export XML is valid: https://www.corefiling.com/opensource/schemaValidate.html

Link to the script-file that triggers XML-export has to be provided in the customer login - if needed with login and password (HTML basic access authentication).

Findologic supports all encodings. It just needs to get mentioned at the start of the XML e.g. <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>

The parent tags must be exported (summaries, descriptions, etc.), but can be closed itself (can be empty), if the child tags are not required. For example like that:

[…] 
<summaries /> 
<descriptions /> 
<usergroups /> 
[…]

Control characters ([#x01-#x08] | [#x0B-#x0C] | [#x0E-#x1F]) are not allowed in any value of the feed.

<findologic version="">
    <items start="" count="" total="">

        </item>
        [...]
    </items>
</findologic>

<findologic> has to have the attribute version containing the version of the format.
<items> gives information about the start-pointer (start), how many products are exported per step (count) and how many products exists in the shop in total (total). For more information see Export
<items> may contain 1+ <item>-tags.

Due to runtime limitations the XML-export has to be paginated.

You have to use double quotes to seperate XML attributes like “count” or “total”. Single quotes are not supported at the moment.

usergroups

[...]
<usergroups>
  <usergroup><![CDATA[]]></usergroup>
  <usergroup><![CDATA[]]></usergroup>
  [...]
</usergroups>
[...]

<usergroup> contains 1+ <usergroup>-tags.
<usergroup> contains a usergroup to which the item is visible.
<usergroup> the usergroup used as a third parameter in the Findologic-Snippet (after shopkey) has to have the exact same wording as the usergroup that is used in the data feed.

Using usergroups to set the visibility of items

If no <usergroup> is requested, all items are returned.
If a <usergroup> is requested, only items with a matching <usergroup> are returned.
- Example: If a Usergroup is set by usergrouphash=“employee” → <usergroup><![CDATA[employee]]> </usergroup> only products for which this usergroup is set are visible.

Unknown <usergroups> is ignored, so that when requesting an unknown <usergroup> all items are visible.

Using <usergroups> to set the visibility of single information relevant for a returned item

By using the <usergroups>-tag you can set specific images, keywords, price etc.
By using the <usergroup> attribute within XML tags, you can set specific item information for given <usergroups>.
If no <usergroup> is requested the default (non-usergroup) value is used for all tags. Therefore default (non-usergroup) tags are required for all elements in the data feed.
If a <usergroup> is requested the usergroup-specific value is used for all tags.
- Example: If the usergrouphash=“ employee ” is used → <name usergroup=“employee ”><![CDATA[Internal product title]]></name> the name set for this usergroup is used.
If an item has no usergroup-specific value for a tag then the default (non-usergroup) value is used.
- Example: request usergrouphash=“employee” → <names><name><![CDATA[Product title]]></name><name usergroup=“b2b”><![CDATA[B2B product title]]></name></names> → “Product title“ is used, cause this represents the default (non-usergroup) info.

Usergroup-specific <property> tags are defined at <properties> level. Usergroup-specific <property> tags are not merged with default <property> tags, therefore for each usergroup all the <property> tags for this usergroup must be exported.

To keep the export small, usergroup-specific tags should only be exported when they are different from the default (non-usergroup) tag.
<Attributes> cannot be usergroup-specific and therefore cannot be exported with a <usergroup> attribute.

Recommendation

In case of more than 128 <usergroups>, please contact support@findologic.com, in order to adjust default settings.
To avoid potential misunderstandings, preferably use alphanumeric values for usergroups (e.g. 18plus, B2B).

[...]

<dateAddeds> contains 1+ <dateAdded>-tags, distinguished via the usergroup-attribute.
<dateAdded> contains the date and time, when this item was added to the store.
The value can be used for sorting, to list the most recent items first.

visibilities

[...]
<visibilities>
  <visibile><![CDATA[]]></visibile>
  <visibile usergroup=""><![CDATA[]]></visibile>
  [...]
</visibilities>
[...]

<visibilities> contains 1+ <visible>-tags, distinguished via the usergroup-attribute.
<visible> must contain lowercase true (or 1 as a replacement) for visible initial state or lowercase false (or 0 as a replacement) for invisible initial state.
The default value of the default visible element (non-usergroup) is true if it did not exist.
The default value of a visible element with the usergroup tag is the same value of the default visible element if it did not exist.
If the visible element value is blank or one of the values (True, faLse, yes, no, -1 ….) , this will cause validation errors.

    [...]
  </attributes>
</allAttributes>
[...]

<allAttributes> contains 1 <attributes>-tag.
- The <attributes>-tag must NOT have an usergroup-attribute.
<attributes> contains 1+ <attribute>-tags.
<attribute> contains a key/value set with 1 <key>-tag identifying the attribute and 1+ <value>-tags setting the values for the attribute.
Attributes are used in filters, navigation, shopping guides and for search-queries.Here you can find our documentation about filter configuration.
If you use a slider, do not export the values like this: 100 cm. Correct: 100. You can set the unit in the filter configuration in the Findologic customer account. If you export 100 cm it is not possible to use the range slider for this filter, because the range slider is only able to work with numeric values.
We recommend the following as a standard:
- cat: CDATA (e.g. Sneakers_Men an article in the category “Sneakers” and in the subcategory “Men”)
- cat_url: CDATA (e.g. for the category http://www.shop.de/sneakers/men.html the correct cat_url is /sneakers/men.html)
- vendor: CDATA (e.g. Adidas)

In the attributes following tags are not allowed to be empty:

<attributes>
<attribute>
<key>
<value>

cat_url examples

In order to use Findologic Navigation with Direct Integration, the tag cat_url has to be added with the category path to the <attributes>-tag. If a product is shown in several categories, all paths have to be exported. For example for a product, which is assigned to the following categories …

… these cat_url's-values should be added to the <attributes>-tag.

<allAttributes>
  <attributes>
    <attribute>
      <key><![CDATA[cat_url]]></key>
      <values>
        <value><![CDATA[/presents]]></value>
        <value><![CDATA[/presents/champagne]]></value>
        <value><![CDATA[/wedding-presents]]></value>
        <value><![CDATA[/jacken&maentel]]></value>
        <value><![CDATA[/de/geschenke/champagner]]></value>
        <value><![CDATA[/en/presents/]]></value>
      </values>
    </attribute>
    [...]
  </attributes>
</allAttributes>

cat_url's have to be exported as relative paths.

You have to export both main-cat_url's and sub-cat_url's for the main- and sub-categories, that an article is assigned to.

The / at the end of the cat_url needs to be included if the category pages of your shop are ending with a /.

<property> contains a key/value set with 1 <key>-tag identifying the property and 1 <value>-tag setting the value for the property.
<properties> contains every information irrelevant to the search itself but relevant for displaying the products in the shop.
<properties> can contain a usergroup attribute.
- If usergroup is given in the request, only the properties explicitly exported for this usergroup will be returned
- If a usergroup is given in the request, but no <properties/> are exported for this usergroup, the default <properties/> are returned (ie. the <properties/> without usergroup)
  - Note: The whole <properties>-block without a usergroup is used as default in case no <properties>-block for the requested usergroup exists. In case a <properties>-block exists for the requested usergroup, but a certain <property> is missing, no default-value is available.
Following <property> Keys are not allowed for use:
- ordernumber
- image[0-9]+
- thumbnail[0-9]+
We recommend the following as a standard:
- Novelty: 0/1
- Sale: 0/1
- Free_shipping: 0/1
- Logo: CDATA (e.g. 'http://www.shop.de/logos/vendor_logo.jpg')

Attributes and properties in XML-feed

Main differences between attributes and properties is:

Attributes are filters, properties are additional information on search results
Attributes can have several values, properties can have only one value.

Here is map of HTML-template with one product in results at the right side and filters at the left side.

If customer needs some information (like color/size/rating) in filters and in product-card in results as well, he should provide both: property and attribute.

Using properties for product variants in search results

If you want to show different variations (colors, sizes etc.) of a certain product in your shop and you want to display those variants in specific product-cards on the search result page, it can be realized by following the steps described below (example for colors):

Functionality:

All color-variants displayed for parent (master)-product.
While hovering over the variant picture - appropriate image should be displayed.
By click on a color-variant or on an image the page of the product with the right color should be opened.

1. 2. 3.

How the XML should look like:

You have to provide an appropriate property (for example “variants”) for every parent-product by using a JSON-string. Here is an example of this property:

[...]
<allProperties>
 <properties>
  <property>
   <key>variants</key>
   <value><![CDATA[
    {
     "Mud" : {
      "VariantIconPic" : "https://www.shop.com/media/jacket_mud_variant_icon.jpg",
      "productPic" : "https://www.shop.com/media/jacket_mud_variant_pic.jpg",
