Bing data feed

[lextechs]

Yes. It has to be in Window/dos format so the line termination is /r/l instead of the normal /l or /n submit it, it will go.

I did and when i check feed status in bing i get this: What does it mean?

Thanks for the contribution. I found two errors though.

	$title = str_replace("\"", "", $row["products_name"]);
	$title = str_replace("'", "", $row["products_name"]);

The first line is good. But after that we should str_replace $title instead of $row.. so it should be:

	$title = str_replace("\"", "", $row["products_name"]);
	$title = str_replace("'", "", $title);

And then every other line should have $title in it. Otherwise you don't replace anything.

Secondly:

	if ($SEO_URLS = "true"){
		$TSV .= $URL."/".$title."-p-".$row["products_id"].".html	";
		}else{

You are setting $SEO_URLS = "true" this will always be true. You should be comparing '=='

So i uploaded my feed and Bing replied with this

Your feed does not pass validation. Please fix these errors below and update the feed:

1) Feed file has mixed formatting and encoding. Submit a feed in Dos\Windows formatting and UTF-8 encoding. You can copy and paste the data into a new Notepad++ document where the encoding is Dos\Windows UTF-8 on the bottom-right corner then save the file.

2) Most (>80%) Price values are invalid. Price values are limited to 2 decimal places. Product lines with invalid Price values will not display.


Any ideas how to fix this so the feed works as they mention?

Any progress on this? I'm probably going to try the Magneticone Bing Data Feed commercial product. I don't know that it will work with CEON URI Mappings though.
