How to implement OR based feed filters?

    I need to split my product feed as it is getting too big and I’m trying to split it into:

    Feed 1:
    Product name = Cars OR Trucks

    Feed 2:
    Product name = Bikes OR Scooters

    Feed 3:
    Product name = Accessories OR Parts

    How can I do this? As including two separate things makes it look for Cars AND Trucks for example, which shows 0 products.

    Also could you make the plugin compatible with the Aelia Currency Switcher plugin?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    I’m also running into issues with the feed taking a long time and stalling with lots of product variations. Could you see if you can make any optimisations to deal with large product amounts? It also seems like the filters don’t help reduce the amount of time it takes to create a feed, when they should help reduce the dataset amount to process.

    I only have 300 products, but because of the number of variations we have it creates 19,000 unique product variations which seem to be choking my 4 cpu/ 8gb server.

    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,

    The plugin does not support OR filters/rules. It is on our to-do list but I can’t tell when it will be released.

    We have added WPML multi-currency support last week and have no plans to support other multi-currency plug-ins for now.

    With regards to the filters and processing time. The plugin needs to retrieve all products from your database before it can filter on it. Let’s say you created a filter saying “remove all products that have the color red”. The plugin only knows the color of a product once it retrieved it from your database. Hence there is no performance gain with adding filters.

    All the best,
    Eva

    Closing the issue for now.

    Best,
    Eva

    Hi Eva,
    Could you look into the optimisation issue at least as I’m unable to process my large feed. Maybe a better chunking system or a way to make the feeds smaller?

    With regards to the other points:

    -Aelia currency switcher I believe is the biggest currency switcher out there in terms of adoption, so worth supporting in my opinion.

    -Would be great if you could add the OR to your develpment todo, would be very useful.

    Thanks and keep up the great work.
