I have about 10 feeds that sell similar pet products. I was wondering if perhaps the forum moderators, or anyone on this board knows of anyone that will for a fee assist with category management and mapping. I have a list of categories that I would like to use for each particular product, however I dont have the time to personally go through and map each and every feed. thanks!
Hi,
I'm afraid this isn't a service that i'm in a position to offer at the moment; and i'm not really sure where or how you would go about getting such help other than taking someone on temporarily to work with you and build up your site.
The quickest way of course is to import each feed into a fixed category, which you can do by specifying a category on the feed registration page rather than selecting a field; but this may not be a suitable option in your case.
Usually, it would be a case of starting off by creating your list of categories (don't worry about the mappings at first); and then import all the feeds without using mapping.
Then, open the category mapping tool in one window, and the category index of your site in another; and then selecting one master category at a time copy across the values of any of the feed categories that you would like mapped to it...
Hope this helps,
Regards,
David.
