Having looked through the forum for the answer I can see that Price Tapestry strips out the '&' and ';' from '£'. The only problem with this is that some of the product names contain the currency symbol, i.e. 'International £10.00 calling card' is displayed as 'International pound10.00 calling card'. I did try searching and replacing the 'pound' with '£', but no no avail, presumably because the filter cannot find the specific 'pound' text. All of the products are different prices so I cannot easily do search and replace for every price. What can I do instead?
Kind regards
Stephen
Hi,
My admin file is a little altered and although I thought this was the corresponding line
database_safe(isset($record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]])?$record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]]:""),
and tried changing it to
database_safe(isset($record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]])?$record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]]:",'\'\.%!&;"),
The nbsp is still showing in the descriptions. Just to recap as I am on new thread, in the datafeed they are using the encoding & amp ; nbsp ; (without the spaces) and in my site this is showing as just nbsp, when it should just be a space.
You can see on mysite.com/shopUK/c/clothing-and-accessories/category/Novelty-T-Shirts/
My site being findallsorts.
Hi Clare,
Sorry - that's not quite the right place. Look slightly further up the function, where you will see the comment:
/* apply standard filters */You will see the line about 3 or 4 lines below that point...
Cheers,
David.
I hope you dont mind, I have sent my admin.php via email, as for some reason that section "apply standard filters" on my file, doesnt have the description part and I cant rememer what I changed in it. It still imports everything fine, other than this one problem.
Hi David,
I added the mods suggested further up this thread but still have problems as follows;
Example search result outputs:
7.0quot LCD --- should be, 7" LCD
clearnbsp9 inchnbspLCD --- should be, clear 9 inch LCD
Here39s where --- should be, Here's where
thesenbspyellow --- should be, these yellow
etc.
Finally, I am also getting things like this in the product titles:
22quot HD Ready --- should be, 22" HD Ready
I did try and change my config file from;
$config_charset = "utf-8";
To;
$config_charset = "iso-8859-1";
but it didn't seem to make any difference so I have changed it back.
I am importing all current feeds using CSV (comma) unzipped. Not sure if that makes any difference.
Any pointers much appreciated,
Steven
Hi Steven,
Did you re-import after making the changes? The change is to the import routine so changes won't have any effect immediately?
Otherwise, feel free to email me your modified includes/admin.php and i'll check it over for you...
Cheers,
David.
Hi Stephen,
It is quite easy to modify the import routine to allow & and ; which will permit HTML entities into the database. In includes/admin.php you will find the following code on line 163:
$record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]] = tapestry_normalise($record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]],",'\'\.%!");...change this as follows:
$record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]] = tapestry_normalise($record[$admin_importFeed["field_description"]],",'\'\.%!&;");(the list of characters in the second parameter to tapestry_normalise() is a list of characters that you wish to allow in the description field).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
