Hi,

this feed seems to be dot-seperated. This is the first feed ever I see with dots as seperator and actually I wonder how anyone can get this working:

in a line like :

www.clixGalore.com/PSale.aspx?BID=69512&...g-lure-prowler-evil/ . how can anyone seperate between the dots used in the URL and the real seperator just before <img ??
(it is no problem to make a CSV parser using dots, however strings with dots must be enclosed


" www.clixGalore.com/PSale.aspx?BID=69512&...g-lure-prowler-evil/ "."
the redirection issue is a different one.

Hi Bram

With clixgalore you have a choice of CSV or XML, as I cannot see how to parse the XML file from clixgalore I chose to use CSV. Clixgalore then lets you type in the chosen sepertor in a 1 char box, so I must have type the dot. I have since tried comma, semi colon and |, and change the parser class each time prior to attempting to fetch the feed, but I am still getting object moved here 59.154.121.36/DataFileRequest_new.aspx?AdID=8226&AfID=250298 , 59.154.121.36/DataFileRequest_new.aspx?AdID=8226&AfID=250298 .

So If you could let me know which parser to choose if I pick XML opton from CLixgalore, as that might work.

As for redirect I am not sure what you mean buy that, Sorry?

Thanks

hi,

the descriptions do contain comma's so best guess would be the pipe (|) or tab

use the redirect URL in your feed configuration

( it's a limitation on your server regarding redirection and CURL )

Hi

I have chosen pipe and also tried tab but to parse the comma seperated file but still getting moved here, which you are saying is a fault of my hosting so I will contact them in regard to that.

Now where do I put the redirect URL, do I put that where I have the feed URL?

Right

the parser can not follow the redirect URL so you have to do it manually.

( and hopefully the redirect url is always the same...)

it's not a fault but a security setting on the 'base dir' as a result CURL will not follow redirects. Nothing to do about

Hi Bram
So I put the original URL in then after the initial fetch I then copy the URL from moved here and paste that into feed URL, then do I refetch the feed then try to import data as at no time do I get any fields to map to.
