Bidfeed Type Plugin For WebGer.com
Hi.

Could a plugin be avilable for webger.com much like the ones available for bidfeed.com and brainfox.com? Would editing one of the plugins serve the purpose?

It all depends on the formatting of their XML feed.

Hi Andy.

If the following info could be helpful:

Your XML feed that you integrate into your site should look something like: http://www.webger.com/...P_Address]&xml=1

In this XML feed here are the following variables that MUST be present for you to earn credit.


keywords= This is the keyword searched by the user. username= This is your webger.com username IP= This is the IP address of the user making the search. it is important to note that you MUST pass back the IP address of the user making the search, you must also have the variable be IP= and not ip= (it must be capitalized) xml= this MUST be set to 1 unless we notify you differently

The XML feed will return results like below

My Overture_Links plugin may do what you want (you can define the request URL, as this varys a lot of Overture XML feeds). If you wanna give it a go, then feel free to PM me, and I'll install it for you, and if it works, and you wanna keep it, you can buy it :)

Cheers

Thnx Andy.
I was just trying to understand why the following in Bidfeed plugin would not work?

my $url = 'http://www.webger.com/s/xmlfeed.php?' .
'keywords=' . $query_esc .
'&pageresult=' . $mh .
'&username=' . $username .
'&ip=' . GT::CGI->escape($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR});
my $request = GT::WWW->new();

With username defined after the plugin is setup.

I wouldn't have a clue I'm afraid. I've never even looked at that plugin, as I have my own SearchFeed_Results plugin ;)

I can't see why this wouldn't work - you also need to change the section under #Parse XML results though.

Hi.

What really do i need to do for the same?
I can follow instructions right down to last word. I tried playing with it but to no avail.

Sorry - I don't have time to actually get it working. I'm sure you could get this as a simple custom job though.

Hi.

Got it. All perfect except for the Cost To The Advertiser 'Unknown Tag BidFeed' though i do not have BidFeed tag anywhere. Well breaking my head and should finally get that bit also resolved .

Would be available for free in case anyone would want to use it.

[EDIT] Completed And Working. My interest was due to the fact that They Had PAID for serving POP Unders during the Trial Run.[/EDIT]

to get the bidfeed plug in to work, add

<%if bidfeed_results%>
<%bidfeed_results%>
<%endif%>

instead of

<%bidfeed_results%>

to search results page
