Hi David,
I finally bought Price Tapestry. And when installing I saw that I cannot add categories, but they are imported by merchant feeds.
Is there a way I can have a list of categories on the home page, when I have no merchants?
Or do I have to create a dummie feed? If so has anyone got an example they can give me?
Thanks
I've located a froogle feed and I am using that but when I try to register it on step two it does not find anything.
But on step one it will show the autodect as "csv|9|1|0"
Is there a specific format that the feed needs to be?
As on this froogle feed, you have the link first then other information.
Hi,
Check that there are no spaces in the filename as this can mean that it is not passed on step 2 correctly. Otherwise it should work fine - tab separation (indicated by the "9" in the format string) is autodetected reliably. If you're still having problems with the feed if you could let me know the URL to it on your server I will download it and take a look. If you could send the url such as:
http://www.yoursite.com/feeds/feed.txt
Reply to your registration code or forum registration email is the easiest way...
Cheers,
David.
Hi,
Yes - what you can do is use Category Mapping to make sure that products are imported into the categories that you wish to use; and then create links directly to those categories using the appropriate search URL.
For example, the following HTML:
<a href='/search.php?q=category:Home Electronics'>Home Electronics</a>...would create a link to a category called "Home Electronics". Then, provided that you have used Cateogry Mapping (or a fixed category during import for an entire feed) the link will display the results for that category.
Remember that you can import an entire feed into a single category by specifying the cateogry instead of selecting a field on the feed registration page (step 2).
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
