RSS feed for google base and oodle?
Any chance we can get an RSS feed of our ads so we can publish into google base and oodle?

I think some one has created this already but I can't remember right off who it was. 68 Classifieds does come with the file external.php that will generate an rss feed and I sure you could modify it to send to both of those.

The external.php doesn't work for me because my listings have things like , and & symbols. the external.php doesn't seem to account for that.

I changed the title output to:
Code:
echo "\t\t\t\t<title>" . preg_replace("/([^A-Za-z0-9]+)/", " ", html_entity_decode($listing[title])) . "</title>\r\n";

You should just be able to use htmlspecialchars:

I have done this for both systems for another member. Let me know if this is something you'd pay for and we can make arrangements. I just looked up the requirements from both systems and just overwrote the RSS portion of external.php with my own code.

We did this as well - great for getting listings "out there".

I am willing to share the cost of this RSS add-on. I like my real estate listings to be displayed to as many classified sites as possible.
Will it be just a module that will be easy to insert on the script? Will it post my ads automatically on those sites? Thanks, Mike |

It is just 2 files you upload, of course you have to save it as an xml file and manually submit to google, they have an API which I do have plans to work on. As for oodle, if you pay them, they will import listings every 20 min I think. I know both feeds work, have uploaded to google base myself and oodle accepted the feed for another member with this mod.
