Languagues

Submitted by ognjenko on Mon, 2007-03-19 14:20 in

Hi to all

I am just getting ready to buy your product, but I wish to know before I do that is it possible to change sites languague in easy way?

Also, since I will not be using feeds, but import from csv's, can you advise of easiest method to do that, meaning can you create "ideal" sample csv row for me please, so I can preformat ones I receive in that way.

Stay tuned :)

All the best!

Hi!

Yes, it is easy to change the language, quite a few users have setup a different language for their Price Tapestry site. All you have to do is add your translations in a file called includes/translate.php, for example:

<?php
  $translate
["Merchant"] = "Magasin";
?>

You can add these entries for any words of phrases that appear on the site. Alternatively, you will find it easy to locate the text in the script and just change it directly.

For the ideal CSV file I would recommend using either the TAB or PIPE delimiter, for example (using PIPE):

Product Name|Description|Image URL|Buy URL|Price
Blue Widget|The best widget money can buy|http://www.example.com/widget.jpg|http://www.example.com/widget.html|9.99

Cheers,
David.

WOW, this is what I call good response time :)

OK, now I get it all.

Also please, can you recommend best way to add products technical description (since I will be comparing mostly tv's, fridges etc) without too much typing - is there any pre made souce for that? Product images too?

Thank you!

Hi,

Firstly to point out - Description is an optional field. The only fields you actually need in your feed are Product Name, Buy URL and Price.

With regards to a source of technical information i'm not sure what to suggest other than the manufacturers website. You will have to make sure you are in the clear regarding any copyright aspects etc, so perhaps one option would be to suppliment your site with products from an affiliate product feed that already contains product descriptions...

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.

Hm, are there any affiliate product feeds supplied for free that I could use maybe for product descriptions and images?

Anyone knows?

Hi,

Most affiliate networks provide their feeds for free, but you would need to check their terms and conditions regarding usage if you are not intending to publish their merchants URLs along with the data.

Cheers,
