In reply to: [Affiliate Hoover] Multiple FeedsI’ve got a test site here: http://www.wordpress.andywalpole.me/
It all seems to be working okay.
All clicking on the stagger checkbox does is when the posts are created they are given a future date of publication, in this case groups of five posts are given a future publication time of ten minutes and so on
You are welcome to email me if you are still having issues

In reply to: [Affiliate Hoover] Multiple FeedsHi ijennings,
Sorry about the delay in responding – I work a full-time job so my only chance to deal with these types of issues is on the weekend.
I haven’t updated this plugin since WordPress version 3.5 so I was dreading to see what 3.7 would throw up.
Thankfully, I’ve tested the plugin out on that version and I can’t yet find any bugs. Yet.
Let me see if I can replicate that issue.
Regards,
Andy

In reply to: [Affiliate Hoover] feed url not seensorry, I should change the instructions. I’ve removed the option of adding remote feeds (too many variables on too many different servers.

In reply to: Help with plugin SVN – ahh, frustrating messAdditionally, you need to remove all that ob_start() and output buffering stuff. That can cause problems with sites and other plugins. It should also be unnecessary.
I’ll take that on board. I actually put that in there to prevent issues that were occurring with another third-party plugin

In reply to: Help with plugin SVN – ahh, frustrating messThanks, I should have waiting for a response before trying out something, anything to put it right. “When you are in a hole stop digging”
I should have spent time studying the theory behind SVN and got used to using the command line. I just jumped straight into it by using a GUI.
I’m clicking in the trunk on my local version and using switch to change to the URL of http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/affiliate-hoover/tags/1.77/
So the file version reads correctly: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/affiliate-hoover/tags/1.77/home.php
But when I got to commit it produces the following error message:
Committing to a tag
You working copy points to http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/affiliate-hoover/tags/1.77 which appears to be a tag!
You should first switch to a branch or the main trunk before committing
Sorted now 🙂 bug in the code. Download the latest version

In reply to: [Affiliate Hoover] Displaying related post imagesoh no if you place this in your template it definitely won’t work:
<div class=”content-thumb”><img src=”[#7#]” alt=”[#3#]” /></div>
Those tags are specific to Affiliate Hoover form only

In reply to: [Affiliate Hoover] Displaying related post imagesChris,
At the moment in order to display images it is possible to do so by writing HTML code like so <img src=”[#7#]” alt=”[#3#]” /> with the contents of the CSV file being used.
So this links to the remote file like so: <img src=”http://images.productserve.com/preview/1296/126345898.jpg” alt=”Multi Mission Pack System Rucksack Liner – 70 Litres”>
It’s been quiet at work this week so I’ve been working on a way of uploading the remote image to the media gallery and then including the link.
It’s a step better than it currently is but I’ll doubt though whether it will let you specify thumbnails or other image dimensions. It will just be the original image dimension sizes. I’ll have to think about that.
Regards,
Andy
I tried to email you the plugin but it bounced back for some reason
You can download it here instead: http://andywalpole.me/affiliate-hoover.zip
If it works okay then let me know and I’ll release a bug fix update
Okay, firstly one of the files that you emailed me is badly formatted. If you look at it you will see hundreds and hundreds of blank entries with no content. That threw a total wobbly when I tried to enter it. That should be producing an error message really before it tries to insert the contents into the database. I’ll look into it when I have time.
The actual problem was caused by selecting the category column on the CSV file but when it encountered a row that was blank it threw an error. I’ve now changed the code so that if the category is empty it just passes over it and the post has no categories added to it.
I’ve tried it on a test domain and I created 1000 items: http://www.wordpress.andywalpole.me/
I’ll email you the new plugin. If it works okay can you let me know then I’ll release a new version to the WordPress depositary.
Thanks
I see what you mean. It’s do with the categories. If I create my own categories it processes the file fine but if I use the code that represents the category in the file it creates an error. I’ll take a look into it.
Chris,
Are you uploading a file as a CSV file from your desktop or from a remote URL?
Either way can you send me the file in question or the url to me@andywalpole.me
Thanks,
Andy
