Job description

I run a real estate office. I have a site on Wordpress with WPResidence template, hosted at LH.pl

www.warszawskiagent.pl

I will try to describe the problem as vividly as I can.

An external contractor sends ZIP files with xml file and photos to the server via FTP.

I have a WP Import Pro plugin that reads the xml file and converts it has property listings, which then display on my site. Then every hour it sends another file with an update of the previous one, which has information about listings added, deleted, and modified.

I need someone to write a script that will extract the next zip file received every hour. WP Import plugin using cron tasks can read the update every hour. I would need possibly in helping to integrate this properly. Integration involves that the plugin actually deletes and modifies outdated listings (with the addition of new ones there is no problem, modifications I have not yet had time to test), and that unnecessary images are deleted from the server.

Preferable solution

Software is, coding is required

Required features

XML import packed in ZIP along with images Update imports with cron tasks
