Hi David,
Not too sure how to explain this Question !!
I'm creating a news site with multiple folders. Each product will have its own folder and its own installation of PT. Lets say the site is about Tennis, I will be comparing prices for Tennis balls in mysite.com/tennisballs and prices for racquets in mysite.com/tennisracquets.
Most of these products will be in the same merchant feeds. Do you know if it would be possible to use feeds from mysite.com/feeds rather than mysite.com/tennisballs/feeds so I wouldn't have to upload the feeds multiple times for each directory.
Looking at mysite.com/tennisballs/admin/index.php I see
$feedDir = "../feeds/";
How would I change this to look for mysite.com/feeds
Would there be much more involved.
Thanks
Adrian
Hi Adrian,
You are on the right lines. Basically, wherever you have:
"../feeds/"
you need to change this to the fully qualified path on your server, for example:
"/home/users/adrian/mysite.com/public_html/feeds/"
You will find "../feeds/" in the following files:
admin/index.php
admin/feeds_register_step1.php
admin/feeds_register_step2.php
admin/feeds_extras.php
includes/admin.php
If you are not sure what the full path to the feeds directory you want to use is, here is a trick to find out. Create the following file in the feeds directory:
whereami.php:
<?php$path = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];
$path = str_replace("whereami.php","",$path);
print $path;
?>
Upload it and then browse to that file, and it will print out the full pathname on the server that you then need to use in place of "../feeds/"!
Cheers,
David.
