import feed

Submitted by peacecrazy on Fri, 2008-03-21 21:43 in

hi,
I imported 142 entries but i only see one! I have followed the instruction for Feed Management and Adding A New Merchant on this page (http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/133) twice but still only shows one entry www.ez111.com
I'd appreciate any help resolving this issue. thanks.
Jay

Hello Jay,

The most common reasons for less products (or only 1 product) being imported than were expected is to do with the presence of the mandatory fields in each record, or duplication within the feed.

Each record must have: Product Name, Price, Buy URL, and the combination of the Merchant Name and Product Name must be unique.

With some XML files it sometimes appears as if the top level element (e.g "PRODUCT") is the product name, when the actual field is something like "PRODUCTNAME".

If you're still having trouble with this feed, if you could email me a link to the feed in your /feeds/ directory I'll download it to my test server and check it out for you...

Please bear with me over this Easter weekend however, - but I'll get back to you ASAP...

Cheers,
David.
