Ive taken a keen intrest in price tapestry but I have very little knowledge of programming php or datafeeds.
I have built simple dynamic sites before with recordsets in dreamweaver.
Does this script work in the same way allowing me to drag and drop from a recordset table into my own design?
also how would I go about adding a product that isnt part of a datafeed.
Hi,
Price Tapestry would not work in the same way as recordsets in dreamweaver i'm afraid. Dreamweaver is a visual design environment, whereas Price Tapestry is raw PHP code.
If you wanted to add products that weren't part of a datafeed, the easiest way to go about this is actually to create your own datafeed for that product. All you need is to create a text file (call it myproducts.csv) containing the required fields (product name, buy URL and price) - something like this:
My Product 1,http://www.example.com/product.asp?id=1,10.00My Product 2,http://www.example.com/product.asp?id=2,20.00
etc. etc. - then simply register the feed as merchant "My Products" (for example) to add the products to the site. Adding products for a merchant that already has a datafeed would be slightly more complicated as you would have to add the products to the end of their datafeed in the same format - but you should be able to copy for the format by opening the datafeed into a text editor and copy / pasting the last record...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
