Datafeeds for Word Press

Submitted by Vadim on Sat, 06/07/2008 - 21:20.

Hi everyone!
First of all I'd like to acknowledge Jeremy for his great work!!! I never got across something similar on the web!!!

I'd like to use Wordpress CMS for my new store, I have no PHP or My SQL knowledge. By Googling I found some plugins to import datafeeds, but the problem is from what I understand these plugins insert datafeed products into posts or create posts for each product, and each post is created in intervals.
So my question is how can I insert all products from datafeed into separate page and sub-pages named "products" as I'd like to leave posts for fresh articles. Should I use Navicat and some other software to do it for WP or Navicat would be enough? I wouldn't like to use third parties like Goldencan, etc... Could I do it on my own with no programing knowledge?

How can I create search wizard by name, by product, etc... in the WP CMS ?

If you have thousand products in datafeed you are not going to create a review for each of them, right?
Will it be ok to publish thousand products at once on WP CMS?

Let's say I have a search wizard on my Home page, can it browse required product from database without publishing those products first?

Thanks a lot, your help is really appreciated!!!!

I don't know enough about the WordPress plug-ins to give you a good answer. Are you using this tool? - http://www.wordpressdatafeedimport.com/

It sounds like you might

It sounds like you might have to have some custom coding done or, maybe, you could look for alternative software that would suit your goals better than WP? There are many online store scripts available into which you can plug datafeeds. Let Google be your friend :)

This script is available in three versions. Free, $180 and $300 and you can import data from a CSV file. http://www.shop-script.com/

Hi there,
Yes, the WP Datafeed Importer script makes from each affiliate product a post, it doesn't build product page or catalog page.
I understand that shop-script has all these utilities to buy online but I need just redirect to a merchant site.
Is there anything else you can suggest?
Thanks,
Vadim

I guess I'm a little confused.

Are you trying to build an ecommerce site or create landing pages from where your visitors can visit the merchants site to make a purchase?

Hi Jeremy, why don't you use

Hi Jeremy,
why don't you use CMS for ultramobileguide.com?
What is the best CMS for affiliate site and using datafeeds? Or the way you did it is the optimal way to build an affiliate website?
Thanks,
Vadim

Hi Kupruverto,
I am trying to build the same site like Jeremy builds right now "ultramobileguide.com" but using CMS.
Right now I use custom WP CMS that is very good, look at my knew site here http://compare-forex.com/
I customized it so it not looks like a blog but site though it is not completed yet.
What do you think about it?
I like this CMS and would like to use datafeeds to create another affiliate site similar to Jeremy's.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Vadim

I think it looks good. I'd considered using the WP Remix theme for a couple of projects. It seems very flexible. Also, I'm interested in Forex both as an affiliate and as a trader so I'll be reading more of your site :)

"I like this CMS and would like to use datafeeds to create another affiliate site similar to Jeremy's.

I'm afraid I don't, sorry; other than having it custom coded. I know there are a few datafeed plugins for WP available but I don't think any of them have the exact functionality you require.

Actually, I do have a suggestion. Maybe you could work from another angle? Find out what functionality is available with the various WP datafeed plugins then create a site that uses that functionality without any extra coding. It might not be precisely what you are looking for but it might suffice.

Thanks Kuproverto, I didn't

Thanks Kuproverto,
I didn't find anything that suits my needs, like Jeremy said I want to build very reliable and authority site, not some "another site" or spam site.
I probably need to order some custom coding.
Regarding Forex I have another site that is updated once a week, check it out:

Let me know if you got any other idea
