tradedoubler categories

Hi,

Price Tapestry doesn't have support for a category hierarchy i'm afraid. This is a concious decision, as there just isn't the quality of data out there to make it worthwhile, and would leave users dissatisfied with the results.

Most TradeDoubler feeds have an identifiable field that you can register as the category (maybe the one you mention) - and those categories would then appear in the category list as usual. I have come across some alternative representations however, so if you want more help if you could post a small example of the field names and values I can normally come up with a filter set that will allow you to use the component of the field that you require...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Well at the very least i would like to put the product under the category name that is the last entry:

TDCATEGORIES/TDCATEGORY/MERCHANTNAME

So basically i would like to use the bolded word/phrase from a category

Hi,

I understand - i've seen this with TD feeds before. You should be able to do this simply by registering a "Search and Replace" filter against the category field, using:

Search:

Reaplce:
Empty

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

I set this up, and then imported via ssh, but the category names are still the original...

Hi,

Can you give an example of a few category values that are actually imported? Feel free to email me the URL to your site (reply to your reg code or forum registration email is the easiest way) and I'll take a look if you like...

Cheers,
David.

emailed, thanks
