Autographs Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Just wanted to say Thanks Calvin for the GREAT Mod. We all owe you a ton of thanks! I just finished reading all 45 pages and My Eyes feel like they are going to explode. Also wanted to say I just hope that CRAZY person than sent you all the e-mails doesn't know where you live ;) We all have your back. A few other comments.. I have been uploading to froogle for over a year now and noticed that I have to log in before I upload a feed, Do you have to do this with the AutoUpload? Also I was wondering if there were the files needed for shopping.php amazon.php ect or do we just need to hack around a little on the froogle.php files? Again Calvin THANK YOU!

blucollarguy Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey Calvin, just a note to tell you how this is one of the most fantastic pieces of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been struggling with fighting EP to get rid of product duplicates for a while, actually hadn't put that much time into yet, when I finally realised there was another Froogle tool. This one. And it already does the job for me. this deals with an issue a client of mine was having and the next time I acutally get paid, I will share some with you! Great contrib, and thanks for offering your services to the community. Craig :) Quote Happy Coding! Craig Garrison Sr Anything worth having, is worth working for.

FlyingMonkey Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Concerning products_description and the stripping of html tags to the froogle.txt file... All of my products_descriptions are in html and use stylesheets as well as a table I've created to select incremental quantities for purchase. Is my description useless to froogle, or can the html, stylesheet and animation.js (functionality for the table) be included? If not, how difficult would it be to create a new DB entry for 'froogle_description' and copy the basic descriptions so that Froogle Auto Data Feed pulls that field rather than the 'product_description' field. Check out this page of my site to see what I'm referring to about the table. (Still in development) HousewareWarehouse Thanks, ArtistRich <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The HTML is stripped from the description automatically by the Froogle Data Feeder, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

Again Calvin THANK YOU! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your welcome, no the auto upload won't make you log in... inside of the Froogle Data Feeder your FTP passwords are stored, so it does it for you. There's a couple feeders for other shopping comparision search engines, that i've released. I have been working on Feeders 2.0 which incorporates an easy way to manage amazon, shopping.com, bizrate, etc... but i haven't been able to touch it due to other client projects and school. I need money to pay for rent and stuff, so unfortantely, this stuff comes last. Quote Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.

richhoward Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Do you'll know why only my froogle .txt file that is created only created 1001 lines of data so therefore it is only doing 1,000 products and i have almost 3,000 in my store.

blucollarguy Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I'm working with v1.6. Any Ideas why the Specials price is not being used?

kepa Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 (edited) I have products in more than one category, so with the old contribution, it would list the products multiple times. I would have to manually delete the duplicate as froogle naturally doesn't want duplicates. Will this contribution export just one listing, or more than one if the product is in more than one category?

richhoward Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 FlyingMonkey I replaced everything that said to remove the CHANGEME- I even searched every file you had me put in the contribution for this and removed it anywhere. I still dont know what is going on here. I guess I am an idiot. And still only 45 products are showing up in Froogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspiringarts Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) Hi there! Great contribution, easy to use. Only glitch is that my full pathname is weird enough so that the auto-URL to check the file before ftping it doesn't work. Anyway, when I ran the froogle.php, I finally got it to say hedwig accepted the file, and the file is named what I told froogle to expect. However, it's still saying "Awaiting first upload" about an hour after I uploaded it. Is this normal? If so, how long until it says file is accepted? Thanks, Susan Edited January 1, 2006 by Vger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just expected it to automatically show up earlier. I don't see anything in the forum rules disallowing link to store in signature. I only see link to external site by WWW button; not sure what that means. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
