Thread: How to transfer/import pre-existing classified ads onto Classipress?

How to transfer/import pre-existing classified ads onto Classipress?

I currently use a custom designed classifieds platform. Is there a way I could save the data and import it all into Classipress?

Also, do I have the ability to change the price of an ad at any time with Classipress? (for example, if we are running a limted time special, or give a customer a promo code?)

Please let me know, thank you!

ClassiPress has got a built in .csv importer which you can see here from the ClassiPress admin demo, so if you can save the data in that format, you can import ad data. If there are additional fields you wish to import outside of the default, we have some documentation for customizing the importer also.

You can create and edit ad packs at any time, but if you're looking to offer actual discount coupons you can purchase the optional AppThemes coupons plugin which will allow you to add this functionality. Thanks.

thank you for the response. I'm interested in purchasing Classipress to use as automotive classifieds for our new website launch next month.

Importing via TXT/CSV file won't be a problem, however we have to use these columns:

"Table structure of HWO_JUMP_RESOURCES:

RESOURCE_ID
CATEGORY_ID
STATUS
MEMBER_ID
TYPE
YEAR
MANUFACTURER
MODEL
COLOR_EXTERIOR
COLOR_INTERIOR
COLOR_SOFT_TOP
TRIM_LEVEL
MOTOR
TRANSMISSION
PRICE_CURRENCY

Here is a TXT file of our current classifieds:

What would it cost us to have you create a custom import program so we can keep our tables?
or
What would it cost us to have you modify the data so we can easily import into your program?

Please let me know, thank you!

AppThemes does not offer customization services, however we do have a certified partners page where you can find developers for hire who are experienced at working with our themes. You may also wish to note that we do offer some documentation with regards to customizing the AppThemes importer here. Thanks.
