Data feed of listings

gwdlv · (#1)

Does anyone know how to create a data feed of the listings on a site using 68 Classifieds? It can be CSV, Tab-Delimited, or XML. I need it to add my listings to a sister website.

just point a browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/external.php for an xml feed.

You can also control whats included(ie limit, category, price range etc etc) in the feed by passing along variables in the url. I dont remember them all off the top of my head but if you open the file you should be able to see what vars it can use.

Here is a post that has some of the variables.

I'll have to look into this further. The feed I need must have certain elements to work with all the functions the other site has.

If you want to put an image in the feed, you will have to pull the image down. The best method is to just include it in the description with the CDATA tags.
