This may seem like a simple question, can the field captions be changed ie from product to hotel, also can the optional fields be mapped to any field in the xml or csv upload.
I would be interested in buying a version of the script to deal with location based feeds e.g. hotels, guest houses.
The real advantage of of PriceTapestry is that you can update the database with new feeds. Most others only allow one time imports.
David - any plans to develop a version to do this - I'd buy it if you did :-)

Hi Simon!
I'm afraid I don't have any plans for a hotel or travel version at the moment, but it could be an interesting project. Watch this space...
Cheers,
David.
I have been working on this very thing, with some great results and without changing the source (too much)
I would appreciate any comments:

Hi there,
I'm not sure that it would be that straight forward to mould the script to support a hotel index.
You can certainly change the captions to anything you like; either by modifying the source directly; or changing the translation of any word you want to change using includes/translate.php, for example:
<?php$translate["Catalogue Product Name"] = "Hotel";
?>
The optional category and brand fields can be mapped to any field in the feed; so; taking the hotel example, you might be able to map "City" to the Brand field and you would see how to create an index of cities.
You would be able to make it work; but please don't underestimate the amount of modifications you'll need to make a sensible looking travel site out of the Price Tapestry script.
Cheers,
David.
