I have now filtered all the products I want to show on my website.
How can I now export all the details of the products to one file (txt or csv)?
I would need at least product url (not affiliate url), mapped category, price and product title.
Thanks,
John
Fantastic!
But the URLs in the file contains /pt//pt. How do I remove these, since they cause broken links?
John
Ah right - for the plugin version of the product HREF's assuming that you are using the default /product/ prefix then $config_baseHREF can be dropped and replace with "/" from this line:
print "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$config_baseHREF.tapestry_productHREF($row).",";...for example:
print "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/".tapestry_productHREF($row).",";Cheers,
David.

Ah, almost.
The URLs now show //pt/. Should the export file be moved from/pt to somewhere else?
John
Ah sorry John, it would need to re-create the WordPress version of the product HREF as tapestry_productHREF() include $config_baseHREF. Instead, REPLACE that line with:
print "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/product/".urlencode(tapestry_hyphenate($product["normalised_name"])).".html";(where "/product/" matches the value for Product Base HREF in your PriceTapestry.org settings)

Almost again,
I got now /product/.html so I am missing the /product/name-whatever-product.html.
I use "/product/" in the settings.
John
Ah - $row not $product...!
print "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/product/".urlencode(tapestry_hyphenate($row["normalised_name"])).".html";Cheers,
David.

Sorry,
Now I see that the category collumn in the file are empty and the file also contain All products from the feed and not just the ones I want to have live.
I also found some strange things happening with my live categories, but I'll create a new topic for that.
John
Hello John,
I think the 2 are related, as the export query is generated using a summary query grouped by `name` you would only see a `category` value in the output if the non-summary row the database happened to select contained a category value. This could happen for example if
Merchant - Product Name - Category
Merchant 1 - Blue Widget - Widgets
Merchant 2 - Blue Widget - [No category]
I'll follow up to your new post about this...
Cheers,
David.

Hi John,
Here's a minimal export.php script, upload and browse to from your Price Tapestry installation folder, e.g. /pt/export.php. The script uses unbuffered queries incase the result set is very large, and Content-Type: headers to force download of products.csv (based on code from PriceTapestry.com which has more export examples, including per-merchant etc.)
<?phprequire("includes/common.php");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=products.csv");
print "name,minprice,productHREF,category\n";
$link = mysql_connect($config_databaseServer,$config_databaseUsername,$config_databasePassword,TRUE);
mysql_select_db($config_databaseName,$link);
$sql = "SELECT *,MIN(price) AS minPrice FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products` GROUP BY name";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$link);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
print str_replace(","," ",$row["name"]).",";
print $row["minPrice"].",";
print "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$config_baseHREF.tapestry_productHREF($row).",";
print $row["category"]."\n";
}
?>
The above will remove any commas from the product name just incase to avoid conflict with the CSV format.
Cheers,
David.
