Wordpress CSV and Datafeed Import Plugin

[jimm]

Paul, Have you tried it by uploading the uncompressed csv file?
Happy to chat. Email is best for me but PM is fine too.

 

[Paullas]

yeah i think it is the hosting i use so trying it on a different one now

I bought this and had problems with it from the start,
I use insallatron to one click install WP 2.9.1 on a cpanel setup =
MySQL 4.1.22 + PHP 5.2.11

First gripe, it only installs 1 of the 2 tables, thus the error message says the db user does not have permissions, well it does or the first table would not have installed right? so i checked my permissions (even tho I know its right) - and the db user has all permissions

So i make my own SQL file and install the 2nd table this is not exactly rapid deployment of WP site + datafeed but I can live with this...

finally installed and it wont work with affiliate window feeds? no matter what I do with the feeds, pipe, comma, zip, gzip nothing (digitalquil informs me that it wont work with gzip - slightly annoyed that this wasnt clear, or even stated!)

now I want a refund please as stated in the earlier posts
Thanks

Second that, i asked for a refund with no response.

Hi.

After to import posts without problem i would like to import again the same to update data.
I go to "Edit this feed", i change nothing and i click to process.
The problem is it's create duplicates posts (my-posta-2,mypostb-2,mypostc-2...)!
No have a update function or it's a different procedure to do?
Anyone have this problem?
I posted in author's forum, but i don t know if he s follow?
Thank you.

My guess is most of the issues with it not working with feeds is due to the compression.
If its not working with the compressed file test it by decompressing locally and uploading.

Leon, Have you set the unique identifier properly?

 

[leon99]

hi jimm.

I changed identifier, (before it was unique name but don t work), i create a more simple identifier, just numbers.
It's work.

Thank you very much

xml support?

In the site digitalquill we can read:
Deals with any well formed datafeed file, Comma separated, tab separated, Pipe separated, XML and RSS feeds

But i tested diffrent xml file (who work with other script import), and it's don t work.


I test in the admin site demo of the author, don t work !!

We can import xml with this script?

has anyone tried it on hostgator ??

My guess is most of the issues with it not working with feeds is due to the compression.
If its not working with the compressed file test it by decompressing locally and uploading.

If thats the case, then its just the same as any csv to post script, by doing it without the feed url, it wont check and refresh the feed every day,week,month
which was the main selling point for me


I still have no reply about asking for a refund, has anybody ?

 

[digitalquill]

The plugin will deal with zipped feeds but not gzip, rar, tar or any other compressed files. I can work on getting Gzip support if users feel that is required.

Re. Refunds, I will give refunds if the plugin is at fault, I have absolutely no problems with doing that at all, however, I will not be held responsible for servers that are not configured correctly or malformed datafeed files, and as such will not give refunds in those cases. But to be clear if the plugin is not working due to a fault with the plugin I will issue a refund. This is the same policy that any software company would adopt.

It has also been discussed about affiliate Window feeds, I have many sites running on affiliate window, I suspect this is again to do with the compression setting that you have used on Affiliate window as you can toggle between zip and Gzip.

Hope this helps

My point from that was if it works with the uncompressed file it points at the server failing to uncompress it properly.
If its a sever you have control over and need help setting it up to decompress post in the services needed part and im sure you will get some people who can set it up for you.

right ive changed hosting and it seen to work (ish) but after playing around with what i want it dosnt. I think its time to

A: Let the developer explain why it is so fittle and hard to get working
B: Get a refund so i can buy another plugin.
C: get a refund and get this for free for all the time ive wasted over the time ive had this.

I'm easy and a reply would be nice in this thread as the memebrs on acorn have put faith in this plugin and give you so many chances to get it working as your website claims.

Ive been using this plugin with affiliate window feeds, affiliate future feeds etc, all compressed zipped feeds and have had no problems atall....

I have gone through all plugin options including bringing in the compressed feeds, daily updates, filtering, posting of the products, automatic deletion of the "expired" products etc.

As far as I am concerned the faults dont lie with the plugin.

 

[fresh79]

I think we should see what the developer has to say....

 

[pendragon]

when i click on create a new feed, nothing happens. Any ideas ???

 

[leon99]

hi jimm.

It's work.

Thank you very much

Same problem today... with uniques identifiers. it don t work well

And problem with xml.

No reponse by digitalquill

 

[pendragon]

I have PM'd and emailed Matt so hopefully I'll get a response soon and the plugin will start working for me.

 

[pendragon]

Still nothing back. Poor show.

Perhaps he's busy fixing bugs and developing a customer service interface??

I'll be going through paypal to get my money back.


Anyway, I have found a free plugin that will work for what i need.
