Hello David,
Hope you had a very happy and relaxing New Year.
I am trying to setup a search and replace filter for my merchant names
as per this forum post
http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/5972
I have gotten everything setup however when i go to register a filter or global filter the option to select merchant or merchant name is not an option that is available.
The only options i have available in the drop down is as follows.
Product Name
Description
Image URL
Buy URL
Price
Category
Brand
Can you advise on how i can setup a search and replace for my merchant names?
The reason i ask is because some of my merchant names have the word "Affiliate Program" in them and i would like to clean the names up.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
David,
Is it possible to add code
$config_fieldSet["merchant"] = "Merchant";
in config_advanced.php or will this break other code?!
Hi Toby,
It would since $config_fieldSet is used by both Feed Registration Step 2 and the import process where in both cases `merchant` is handled slightly differently to the normal fields, so it's best just to override in this case for the purposes of applying filters...
Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
To do this, first edit includes/admin.php and look for the following code beginning at line 233:
/* construct merchant value */if ($admin_importFeed["field_merchant"])
{
$importRecord["merchant"] = $record[$admin_importFeed["field_merchant"]];
$importRecord["merchant"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["merchant"],"\.");
}
else
{
$importRecord["merchant"] = $admin_importFeed["merchant"];
}
DELETE the code from this point, and then look for the following code at line 157:
$importRecord = array();...and REPLACE with:
$importRecord = array();/* construct merchant value */
if ($admin_importFeed["field_merchant"])
{
$importRecord["merchant"] = $record[$admin_importFeed["field_merchant"]];
$importRecord["merchant"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["merchant"],"\.");
}
else
{
$importRecord["merchant"] = $admin_importFeed["merchant"];
}
Finally, edit admin/feeds_filters.php and look for the following code at line 80:
require("admin_header.php");...and REPLACE with:
require("admin_header.php");$config_fieldSet["merchant"] = "Merchant";
You'll then be able to apply filters to the Merchant field just as any other field...
Cheers,
David.
