Bing data feed

asimms1:

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?

Re: Bing data feed

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 '=='

Re: Bing data feed

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?

Re: Bing data feed

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.
