Hello,

Please assist. thanks./

Hi Nakz,

Welcome to the forum!

I downloaded the feed to my test server and it imported 220 products. First of all, please check that it is registered as follows. After clicking Register, on Feed Registration Step 1, check that the auto-detected Format String is:

xml|RSS/CHANNEL/ITEM/

Click Next, and then on Feed Registration Step 2, register the feed as follows:

Product Name; TITLE
Description: DESCRIPTION
Image URL: G:IMAGE_LINK
Buy URL: LINK
Price: G:PRICE

Click Register and Full Import, and if you still only get 14 products imported let me know and I'll investigate further for you...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David. Yes, I'm still getting 14 products. Any other tips?

Hello nakz,

It sounds like it may be the character encoding intolerance issue that sometimes occurs depending on the version of the underlying XML library being used by your PHP installation; I'll email you an alternative version of the parser to try which should enable you to import the full feed..

Cheers,
David.

Thanks David. But it didn't work. I have tried replacing the MagicParser with your provided file etc.. and I have re-import the feed and re register but it still giving me 14 products.

Sorry not 16 but 14 product as my previous post.

Any different between this two feed?

{links saved}

Feed 1 imported fine for me. It uses the same cart (Opencart) but just with different version.
{link saved}

Hi nakz,

Both feeds are the same format, but because of the number of different fields feed 1 doesn't auto-detect correctly. I think on Feed Registration Step 1 you will be seeing the following as the Autodetected format string:

xml|RSS/CHANNEL/ITEM/G:PRODUCT_TYPE/

If you edit that down to just:

xml|RSS/CHANNEL/ITEM/

...then it will work just the same as feed 2.

Regarding the only 14 products imported problem, i'll email a further alternative version to try that removes all encoding...

Cheers,
David.

Oh yes. Feed 1 was a bad example.

This feed is working perfectly for me: {link saved}

Which should be same as: {link saved}

MPASCII still give me 14 products.
